  • I never used the center seat, the little console was too small, and the driver's seat was really worn. Here's how I solved all these issues.

    Nicely done, both the install and the video. Thanks for not wasting our time waiting while you yak about irrelevant BS!

    Just exactly what I hoped to see!! Well done. I found an all Ford wrecking yard today so I even have a place to look for the seat.

    Word to the wise: care must be taken when changing mounting points for seat belts. I face smashed into a windshield (producing lots of red bodily fluids from before mentioned face) because the bolt pulled up through the floorboard. I was the passenger. Properly reinforce mounting point. Also, thank you for a very informative, Ranger seat video. Was wondering what was under the seat fabric. How it was constructed. My "98" drivers seat bad. Like the bucket idea. 👍👍👍

    Best way to clean without the agitator damaging them is to get a wash tub, 1-cup simple green concentrate to 10-gallons water, soak overnight. Rinse and dry on a clothesline. As to the arm rest. I would make a one-piece bracket using the present seatbelt screws to mount the rest atop.

    Interesting! I’m looking at putting buckets in my 93 ranger, been doing some research & on the ranger forums everyone says you can just switch the bottom/adjustment rails. Even had pictures of the swap.

    Thanks Alex. Been a while since I've seen you and really miss seeing your videos. Hope you're well and happy brother. Thanks for all your efforts! I guess the old Toyota pickup is gone. Sniff sniff.

      The red Pickup is sold. I did buy an almost identical Pickup. It was originally blue with the same stripes but the previous owner spray bombed it black. I'm hoping to fix the dents and repaint in after a few winter projects around the house.

    It's easier to buy another passenger seat and using the drivers bracket, everything bolts right up

    • @TheAlexManVideos
      @TheAlexManVideos  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Have you actually done that? The seat frame base is not the same left and right. Where the seat back connects and hinges is mirrored left and right.

    Question: could you have swapped the seat bottom with the bottom frame of a passenger side seat?

      @TheAlexManVideos  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nope. Hinge mechanism is mirrored for driver's and passenger's sides.
