Surprising how much dirt finds it's way in through holes in the floor. I removed the rear seats from my Disco' and left the holes open temporarily, until I could get the carpet out and clean up the back properly. After a couple of weeks I started to notice well-defined patches and streaks of dirt appearing on the back of the front seats and trim panels. At first I thought it was just where muddy dogs had been touching the interior but it quickly became apparent (because the patches of dirt WERE so well-defined) that it was road-dirt getting in through the holes. Ended-up buying a variety of short stainless bolts and used them to plug all the threaded holes in the floor and, for un-threaded holes, I fitted rivnuts and then tightened more stainless bolts into them.

What a nice troopy! One day when I'm big...

Another great episdode with very helpfull information! Thanks Andrew and team

I nicknamed my 80 Series Landcruiser "Snoopy". Purely because of the colour - white with black trims. Just like Snoopy.

I find my local breakers yard is the best place to get car seats for cheap money. A friend of my put leather seats from a 2018 kia sportage I to his 110 landy. Obviously the airbags don't work but who cares lol. Looks very outta place but he has comfort...

At 1:55 bye guess is teal ocean. It looks to be able to carry an ocean size amount of cargo.

That 4.2 normal aspirated engine is definitely not the strongest nor the most economical engines but I believe the most reliable engine ever built.

Why not use duct tape to seal the holes? Way cheaper.

Do not use duct tape for anything. It eventually separates, so you have a glue tape, substance and paper… I prefer gaff tape.

Lekker Andrew. Print some grommets in ABS to fill the holes.

Is there an equivalent in South Africa to the Australian Ford Falcon XR6 seats that everybody here likes to swap into their old 4WDs? I have no idea about the legalities in Africa, but it would give you improved comfort without forking out Scheel-Mann money.

My understanding of the Legalities in Australia,...... If you change the Seats in a Vehicle to those of a different manufacturer or Modify its Mounts, an Engineering Certificate is Required for Both Insurance and Registration.

@KarlEller

Жыл бұрын

@@DMSVICAU It depends, if the seats or the mounts themselves are already certified for your vehicle, you don't need to get them engineered. So Scheel-Mann seats will already be certified for whatever vehicle you've purchased them for, so they're just a drop-in upgrade, and some companies make certified mounts that let you fit different seats. But I was talking about for in Africa, where Andrew has this Landcruiser based.

I think Toyota seats are designed for Japanese people, who tend to be smaller/lighter/shorter than Westerners😅 I used to drive semi trucks back in the day (Mercedes-Benz/MAN), and when I drove a Toyota Hino a few years ago, the seating position was so bad I had to get physiotherapy for my upper back! The seat was too low for me, and that really really hurt😢😢
