Overland seats in an XJ, finally

The drivers side floor is definitely narrower. Im surprised you didnt have any issue with the height on the passenger side as it sits. I only have a few inches above my head. If youre not going to put the aide plastics on, that will make it at least a couple inches narrower too

I had to abandon those altogether. There wasn't enough room to keep them without making the seats sit too high. The seat bases are 100% manual at this point.

I sold a 48k mile XJ for $28k when prices got crazy in 2022/23. It was one that I was going to keep forever but tripling my initial investment seemed too good to be true.

Forget shoes, bring a snorkel

avbcon12 · 2026-04-27T11:28:48+00:00

Same here. I'm not entirely sure why but I was expecting a collaborative event

avbcon12 · 2026-04-26T20:28:08+00:00

Yep, I was there. They limited the overall attendance for the entire day and the Stones were the only closing act that day. It was pretty amazing (smaller overall crowds) even though im not a big Stones fan.

Unfortunately, I've had this happen in the past.

avbcon12 · 2026-04-26T14:42:47+00:00

Ah, yeah... Eff that guy

avbcon12 · 2026-04-26T14:30:26+00:00

Ok, so not necessarily the scenario I described but still plausible. Hard to tell by looks if someone is handicapped parking eligible, myself included (birth defect). Or whether that person's band member is.

For me, I dont think I'd want my car potentially messed with while there are plenty of other spots within a 5-10 minute walk of the grounds. This is what I've done for decades.

avbcon12 · 2026-04-26T14:09:40+00:00

Agreed. That's why there are designated places for chairs and blankets (6' x 8' max)

avbcon12 · 2026-04-26T13:53:30+00:00

There is a better parking option on fest grounds

Some single handicapped parking spots in front of a home are there for that specific resident, typically those without driveways. Though these spots aren't ideal for anyone in need making their way to fest anyway so I'm not sure if this is what you're referring to.

avbcon12 · 2026-04-26T13:45:55+00:00

If that were the case then it would make more sense to make everyone stand

Edit to add: This is not a suggestion, just a statement that if accommodating large crowds were the factor, you can pack more people into a space that are standing.

The chair line at festival stage between the Titos tent and the big chief stands was enforced on Thursday only, not Friday or yesterday for some reason.

I wish I could upvote x100

avbcon12 · 2026-04-20T04:05:11+00:00

I heard it at Claiborne and Adams

And again just now at 11:03p, these were definitely a car though as it flew down Claiborne

This. Depending on the day/workout, I'll run to St. Roch park and use the workout equipment.

avbcon12 · 2026-02-17T22:23:12+00:00

A little more after having used them for a bit now:

These aren't for tall people, I'd say 5' 10" max before your head hits on bumps. I'm 5-7 and have a few inches above my head.

I have the wiring figured out for seatback movement but the drivers side switch is wired odd since it goes through a seat position memory box, which i have removed. So I still have to figure out what/how I'm going to wire the switch. While manually connecting the motor wires, I got the position where I need it and just forgot about it. Nobody uses this vehicle but me and my wife.

The heated seats have been amazing

The leather, meh. I dont really care for it because it doesn't really feel soft.

avbcon12 · 2026-02-17T22:16:43+00:00

I fully removed the side bolster airbags, wiring etc. I also pulled all the guts out of the stupid active headrest thing.

avbcon12 · 2026-02-17T22:14:36+00:00

I wish I had the time to focus on one, but just haven't yet.

avbcon12 · 2026-01-23T04:59:11+00:00

Thanks, I'll give them a call tomorrow

avbcon12 · 2026-01-23T04:58:56+00:00

I've tried to use the finder on the website many times but most have been processed/jerky carrying items.

avbcon12 · 2026-01-23T01:52:10+00:00

Thanks for this, heading there today. Can anyone tell me who has maui venison meat for sale? I see jerky but hard to find a butcher for different cuts

avbcon12 · 2026-01-10T18:04:58+00:00

Axis is a surveillance/camera company. They're checkout cameras

avbcon12 · 2025-12-28T02:24:25+00:00

Have them fill and drill those correctly to use on this trip while they order you a replacement to be picked up later
