    Nice job Dave, great stuff. Last summer I fabricated a seat bracket because I didn't want to pay the $200+ Corbeau wanted. Spend a couple days measuring, drawing plans, sourcing materials. Then on Sunday I got to it. After about two and a half hours of driveway fab, I had the frame about 15% done. I went inside and ordered the stupid thing. 🤣

    For as much as you use your stuff in extreme off road use, nothing is ever going to be perfect. But look at the difference in mom’s spaghetti in just a couple days. Bucket, HEATED seats????
