Dave I am so jealous of you!! 

I am a LONG way from being as cool as you.  I am in the collecting parts phase still.   

[*** YELLER ***]

Dave I am so jealous of you!!   

as you should be 

this was built years ago  an we (Tommy) are making it better for the road, Fordh8tr is doing all the work to improve the Devil Dogs  road manners and make it more for a Expedition rig but thanks for trying to be as cool as I am it's a pleasure to be your idol  and the one you wanna be like

Stop staring through the knot hole and come over and hang out a while, Neighbor. 

[Cheesemaker]

I would if we weren't in different states. 

I would love to do a member couch surf from my house to So-Cal and back!!

4'' the seat is back 4'' from stock that is

both front seats are done and ready for a butt to fill them

[Cheesemaker]

Your legs that long?     If I go last latch, its almost too far for me to get the clutch to hit the switch.  I am just shy of 6'.  But if I was to sit in a 3rd gen, the seat doesn't go back far enough.  Another reason I love 2nd gens.

I'm 6'1'' and need to have my legs as straight as possible when driving so they don't hurt to much when we get to where we are going and with the ability to shift without the clutch most times it's not that important to use all the time and with 15 gears I'm sure I can find 1 that works

new seats all done, driver 3'' lap belt done, just a few thing to button up

[blackdiamond]

You need a Lo-Lift jack for that mounting my location. Can it go horizontal in the gap between the mount and the truck?

This was in relation to your Hi Lift jack. I may have been reading something not current or even the wrong thread. I am finding my iPhone a challenge for posting.
