Escape Gear Mats

I have been battling to find decent mats , because Toyota doesn’t  do O.E. ones .

I again sourced these through Bud Morris

Escape Gear Seat Covers

I ordered the cotton ones through Bud Morris  as he does everything at cost plus 10 and it also takes the hassle out of shopping around

They come in quite a nice bag

Seat front . The holes at the top are for the head rest

The complete set . The hole in the top left cover is at the back where on earlier models there used to be a bump stop . It is possible to order the back covers off a 76 SW which comes without the hole , but I’m not that anal (sorry Charl  Winking smile)

Fitted which took about half an hour (Mandy – not me – I don’t have the patience )

Bo and friends go to Hennops

I thought it would be a good idea to test Bo’s handling with the camper on and the new mods.
It was also the first time I would be going offroad in the car. I was very impressed with the drivabilty in low range , and there is a lot more low down torque than I was expecting.
The Old Man Emu suspension also provided a lot more articulation than I expected as well. Other than one really scary moment when I rolled back into a washout , and needed 3 people one the front to keep the wheels on the ground we had a great day, and I think I made the car do much more than it should ever need to when overlanding, but it would have been nice to have some mud and sand testing as well .
I think I will be fitting air bags to help stiffen up the rear a bit .
