No, that's the secret Stihl prototype bolt on. I'm a Beta tester for them.

I got some big bones and some Ti in my rump. I don't know if i would fit.

hm i guess it depends on waist size, I'm about a 32 and i still have quite bit of room, I've had people with around 34-35 that say its a pretty tight fit but holds well

the main problem with these reclining buckets is that you cant really use harness

If and when I get new seats. They have to be able to use with a harness.

Very nice, but I wonder how Santa got that big thing down the chimney?

Did you run into issues boiling your fluid previously?

How bad were the SPL subframe solid bushings to install? I am thinking about getting them done at MA while they have everything torn apart. Did you have any noise issues?

They're still sitting on the bench.

I never got around last winter to install them. I'm going to be tackling these in about 2 weeks. With your neck. I would let MAM install them. I don't think there is anyway to install them without dropping the sub-frame. I'm going to make a cradle to fit my floor jack to make it easier to lower and lift the sub-frame in place. To drop the sub-frame. You have to; remove the tires, calipers, rotors, disconnect the e-brake cable at the e-brake shoes, exhaust pipes, drive shaft, frame bracing. Unplug the speed sensors at the diff. Remove the lower shock bolt. Then undo the 4 nuts that hold the sub-frame in place. Once the sub-frame is down. Use a deep holesaw to cut the center out. Then a sawzall to cut the shell. Just like a diff bushing. Remove the shell. Clean up the hole and use a ball joint press to install the new bushing. That's the way I'm going to do it.

WOW! That's a ton of work!
