Tim, please get back with us and show what you did instead of those seat boxes. How you installed the seats. I’ll be following your work. Thanks for posting.
Man.. shot a lot of clips taking the seats apart and trial by error. Total Frankenstein job. Everything working when clipped on to power. Now to wire it all to relays..
Would you do an update video? I am glad that i found your video. As an extremely tall person i was wondering if this bar could be removed. Are you 100% sure that most civilians hummers didn't have the cross. I am sure that some reinforcement can be done underneath if needed. Have you noticed any draw backs. Mine will not be dropped from a plane in the near future. Thanks
Sure! Been meaning to do a complete state of the union in the whole thing. I’ve heard “air drop bars”.. sure. They also are tall and wide which means a strong vertical beam which probably was needed for attaching weapons and ambulance bodies to a solid wide base on a truck where the frame is about 4 feet wide. I wasn’t born when they designed it so I missed that meeting. :) I’m sure they are better to have than not have in a t bone, but this thing isn’t designed for that either. My year of almost daily driving with no cross bars tells me they don’t matter for a road and light trail going machine, so my advice if you want some legroom is to take them out. I’d do it again the same way and twice in Sunday
@@sdalin27 I appreciate it. Do you think welding in metal on the frame is needed? Do you feel like rock crawling would be a issue. I plan on doing a pickup style build
@@andrewsmith9980 I dont think so because it doesnt do anything in aid of the frame for strength. The body is supported only at the body mounts.. maybe it rests on the crossbeam under the tunnel. I don't remember. Bending of the frame could translate to the body, but if the frame is stiff, not much should happen. You could argue the crossbeam adds a trussing effect to the body for twisting, then from side to side for the B pillars which would be most important if you had an enormous roof rack loaded with hundreds of points. For me, I'll take the legroom and if the body moves around a bit, it's elastic and it'll come back where it was when it gets on all fours.

new videos up for the BMW seat install setup. did you find em?
Great Job! I know a lot of people that are scared to remove the cross piece. I plan to do it very soon!

crazy to remove those bars. Complete stability is gone without them.
Seems like it’ll be no problem. Still can grab the vehicle by the top of the B Pilar and shake it side to side. Plenty of strength
@@sdalin27 wait till you get t-boned....I pray it never happens.
Be safe!
An impact hammer with a sharp chisel made quick work of rivets for me.
That is an excellent idea. just bought one last week for another project, but will draw it first next time rivets need to come out!
Doors are not like cars or jeeps , center bump is biggest problem for luxury seats , at the end this vehicle is useless
Yes you are correct. Has been completely useless for the last year as a near daily driver. thank you for your experience and wisdom
