Once the X was welded into place how about the crossbars for the seats!? Yep time to mount the seats and to stiffen up the cab floor a HUGE amount as well. The floors in these Taco's just sag over time the more you use them offroad. This causes the factory seats to rub and my bucket seats to moan and creek when going over various terrain. The mounts would move around on the unstable floor so the noise was annoying. We simply cut the crosstubes and made holes to go thrue the "transmission tunnel" hump in the middle. This effectively allowed me to jack up the cab floor back to normal and then the floor was welded to the cross members for a permanent fix. The cab no longer rests only on the body mounts. The whole cab will be welded to the roll cage and flexing will never be an issue again.





Here is a really nice shot of the whole front of the cab and the floor cross pieces adding much needed support for this Toyota. So that is it for now. We made a ton of progress on this ride considering how long all the detail work takes and the extra time spent on tucking the tubing into the walls.
