Looking great fella Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
Seams a waste to hide it by putting seats back
Are your seats the same as mine in the way they are bolted back so they don't move / tilt forward
Are you going to leave them free moving and if so will they move back slightly to improve the angle ?
Sorry to bombard you with questions
Top work again It's good to be back from the dark side

Looks great Matt. What's the plastic tub for to the right? Temporary storage or will you be using it for some purpose?

Thanks Lee Thumbs Up

My seats are the same as yours but were already unbolted at the top by the previous owner so 'behave' exactly the same as CSW seats Thumbs Up

Although this is a 'show' vehicle for FCX products it still has to earn its keep as a people carrier, tow motor, load hauler etc so all the mods had to be practical as well as pretty Mr. Green

The tub is for storing 'stuff' in, WD40, pairs of gloves, a few spanners, that sort of thing.

I decided to use plastic to make it easy to clean out

Tis' a good idea. Make the most of the space in there then. Not that a 130 will need it. Mr. Green

P.s. you should get Killer to paint if for you so it's colour coded and matches. Laughing NEVER SURRENDER! ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Actually it's ridiculous how little space there is in the 130 crew cab, far more useable space in a 90 or 110 CSW, the amps for example, where else could you put them ?

On the rear bulkhead. IF there was enough clearance. That was the reason my Amp went in the middle on mine as the seats would have got in the way. Could have used the rear to put it somewhere but the cable runs would have been longer and also I use mine a lot in the rear and the conditions aren't perfect for that kind of thing with damp dogs and hay and what not. NEVER SURRENDER! ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

No room on the rear bulkhead once the 6 x 9's are fitted and the powered sub ....

Ah yeah I see what you mean. I keep thinking it'd be like a 110HT with rear bulkhead for some reason. Where the speakers could actually go in the back. In that case it really is limited. NEVER SURRENDER! ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
