    Found a bench out of an 89+. This thing is far more comfortable than the sr5 buckets. It's funny to go thru the old early 2000s threads where everyone is switching to buckets. This thing is nice. I need to find out how I'm gonna bolt the front brackets in. The back actually bolts up which is nice.

    I think i can carefully run a bolt thru the hump horizontally but I don't know.

    Might try bending it flat if you can get the slider to go farther forward. Cut the the rounded part right in the corner on the edges and reweld. Could even smash it flat if you don't care.

    I like the simple bench seats but get they are uncomfortable.

    Yes, an 8" wide wheel requires a positive offset of at least 0.
