They are so thick that my head is much closer to the roof and I sit a little more forward but I am able to tilt the seat pack to a very comfortable position and still not have to stretch to reach the wheel, my weight is no longer concentrated on my tail bone and my thighs are supported. I have been considering after market seats for a long time but no longer.... I'm going to order a set for my car even if they do look crazy.
You got photos of these bro?

Probably won't go the same route as you since wool is pretty incompatible with Manila heat, but I'm curious to see how they solved the thigh support issues of the stock seats.

I ran 6 new ground cables replacing 3 of the stock ones to the engine.

Added 3 grounds from the battery to the engine (one to transmission, one to head, one to chassis).

Replaced the one from Transmission to Chassis, and Head to Chassis on the left side of the block, and added another ground from the chassis from near where the sparkplugs are located.

Used 8ga cable.

I had to work on my wife's 95 GMC Sierra and got it inspected.... It passed and while in town I went to check the mail and had received the High Boost upgrade from Kraft Werks . I will be getting busy and staying that way until I receive other pieces I will need to install or paint while it's down so I think I will just drink some beer tonight....... I filled up the truck for the first time in 9 months and it set me back $70.00... I also talked to the guy at the muffler shop that inspects cars about a custom large diameter stepped exhaust and he is ready to go..... He likes doing custom work and builds race cars.

Thumbs up So shiny it looks wet

Washed and dry MzFiT then used Final Detail this is a good spray wax.

And if you wax your car say with megquiars Gold wax and use this on top it makes the car look wet it's soooo shiny
