Got the wing windows done. If converting FSJ doors check the contact between the bracket and wing window frame. I had to rework even the OEM bracket since it only had contact with the frame on the top edge. That would have pulled the frame assembly away from the door frame when tightened up. I corrected both brackets. They don't influence the angle now.
Got the seats mounted. OEM M715 bases were to tall with these seats I have. I dug out some low back seat mounts from a FSJ and they too were to tall. So I made new ones. I dropped the front of the seat by around 2 inches. Now I can get in with the steering wheel not being in the way. I did the bending on a bearing press with jigs..
My new wife is short. Barley 5 foot tall I realized she would have a great view of the grab bar and bottom of the windshield if I lowered the seat like my side. So I left the height and raised the back some. I can rework these later if I need to. I am eyeballing the battery box mounts. Wondering what I could put between the seats. I will think on what makes sense.
Her side is a shade taller. A 2 inch roll cage bar fits behind the sides and I still need to come up with seat belts. I will cover these seats as cloth seats in a rig like this seems wrong. I will make something or I am told Cabelas has great stuff for seat covers. Just something simple and weather proof.
I have some gussets to weld on the roof top tent mount and some exhaust to reroute so I can put shocks on. Can't believe I did that. Onward..
