Post subject: | took long enough! Beard seats install |
So I know it has been quite some time since I received my beard seats and I have been holding out on pics. I have been working on the install over the last week or two as time permits. I have the passenger mounted where I want it and just need to remove all the brackets to pretty them up. For the driver I have made some mounts with sliders, they need some improvement on sliding as they bind, and even though I am short they ended up being a little too tall so they will need to be shortened. I will be drilling holes at various locations to lock the seats into position and use some sort of hitch pin or something to make it easy to adjust, even though they will be in one spot 99.9% of the time. The seats so far are very comfy. Colors are charcoal center and black sides with a "carbon fiber" weave on the backs and sides that are vinyl( add some texture) and expanded steel pattern piping. I will be finishing these out as time permits and like the passenger when they work right they will get pulled and ground and shaped pretty and painted black. dont pick on my welds or lack of fab skillz bronco seats 007.jpg bronco seats 009.jpg bronco seats 005.jpg bronco seats 010.jpg bronco seats 011.jpg bronco seats 017.jpg bronco seats 020.jpg |

Looks pretty sweet I think. We mounted up Drews with no adjustment, figure that if anyone else needs to drive it, we can drill some new holes. And those welds look just fine to me. |

Very nice work! Looks like they are good and strong. Does Beard not make a bracket for the Bronco? I thought they did. Or did you just want to save the $? |

Really turned out nice. Did your interior designer help pick the colors? Colors turned out so nice. I may copy some of your fab/design work on my rear seat install. |

Beard makes brackets, but the cost is out there. They look great! |

thanks for the positive feedback. yes as stated beard does make brackets but they run about250-300 min depending on where you get them and I have about $15 in these tops, and the material has been paid for for a long time as I scrounged through my piles in the garage. It is pretty amazing what you can do with the color options they offer, I think they turned out really nice with the exterior blue color. just have to clean up the rest of the interior and make the whole truck look nice. |

Good deal. They look really good. How high are the seat pads sitting off the floor? Looks like about 6-7"? |
