Arrgh. Just spoke to ARB who said my colored bar and rails delivery has been delayed until next week!! Gonna have to wait til after Christmas now to get everything done! Major disappointment...

[ben29150 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close ben29150]

So after that disappointment I decided to go buy some canvas seat covers... only cheapo ones for now. See how long these ones last. Not a perfect fit but they should mould into the seat after a bit of driving... Better than nothing right?

Nah - naked seats for me, covers wear the seats out just bad because the dust filters through and then gets rubbed between two surfaces for the life of the car totally ruining an staining the seats come resale time, they trap smells too, sweat etc that leaks through and stays...

At least with an exposed seat you:

a) vacuum it 1-4 times a month, shampoo it if your a real grot; and
b) they are scotch-guarded so they don't really stain or get damaged any more anyway
c) not a fan of the supercheap auto look, factory design is always nicer

the only exception I make for this is if it s a genuine work car (by that I mean field vehicle that gets trashed).

I like it!
Did it come as a set (front/middle/third row)?

[ben29150 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close ben29150]

Only got the front ones for now... Might go get the middle row as well though. Not worried about the back as I don't use the back anyway.

So had an extra day off to spare after not having the car at ARB as originally planned. I decided to use the time to check out Kirama Range Road up to Blenco Falls. It's an amazing track with some awesome lookout spots. I have attached this pic looking out to Cardwell with Hinchinbrook Island in the background! Beautiful part of the country this.
