Third Time's the Charm LJ

Seats have been chosen. Time to save up some caps.

Decided to take a chance:
LED Lightbar

It is a rebranded Hanma unit.  Here are the specs:
Hanma BCS Series

This will free up some caps for seats as well.

Looks like a nice setup. I take it this will be for "off-road use" only? And is the plan to mount it to the bumper or are you buying a windshield frame bracket and mounting it there?

I'm in the market myself for some lighting for the Cherokee, but I need something street-legal to help with the sub-par headlights. They're still better than the YJ mind you, and have a decent wide-beam pattern, but you can't see much down road so I'm hoping to pick up some medium- to long-range driving lights to help things out on that front.

Great price on the lights, and the seats look comfortable.
My Sahara seats are not too bad on the body, they have held up well with almost 300k on them, but im sure the ones you are getting are much more comfortable.

Yes this will be for Offroad use and mounted on the bumper. 

I have something else in the works for seats. More to come...

What gear ratio do you have in the LJ 373's? locker,open, ls ? just curious.

3.73 open front LS rear. I only plan to lock the front. I really like the LS rear.

So, this happened today


Those are from a WJ and look brand new. Paid $125 for the pair. Cannot wait to get them in the rig.

Passenger seat is in. Just have to make a bracket for the seat belt and run the wiring. Jenny likes them.

Nice! I wanted to do a leather swap in my XJ but I haven't gotten there yet. How difficult was it to swap? Did you need adapter brackets or anything?

I will post up a full write up once I do the other side. I want to figure out the seatbelt and wiring first.

I managed to figure out the seatbelt after a little bit of a break. It was pretty obvious and I'm not sure why I couldn't figure it  out the first time.

Holy crap those look comfy

Time will tell for sure but preliminary assessment is roughly 100,000x more comfortable.

Oh that luxury car feel,, they do look very comfy, nice work.

Thanks Mark. I figure if I am going to do road trips I need to be somewhat comfortable.

Sneak peek

What do we have here

Removed the round LED floods and installed the LED lightbar using the stock fog light wiring.

Those seats look great! How do you like the light bar?

The seats are very comfortable so far. I only used the lightbar for a few mins. It works very well. I want to get it out on a highway with no lights and see how far it throws.

Any plans for those floods? I looked back at your post about them and they look like they throw a good amount of light, and I'm in the market for some lighting upgrades.

I was thinking of rigging them up as reverse lights somehow, but don't think I have any room for them. If you want them shoot me a text and we can work something out.

Lightbar is aimed I conjunction with the headlights.

Today's Jeeping:

Finally tuned my CB using the SWR meter today. Got it to 1.2 which I think is pretty dang good. Preparing for wheeling this weekend.
