I had to repair the passenger side seat because it appeared that someone reefed on it trying to get it out of the last jeep it was in. The seat is kind of twisted (as you can see), and one bolt and nutplate that fastens the slider rail was pulled right out of the seat. I broke off the nutplate and bolt and screwed the rail back down with a self tapper into the metal plate beneath the rail.
The rear seat had split seams, but no tears. So I sewed the seams back together with matching thread.
*** A small JP build update, I have given up on finding a light bar for a decent price nearby, so I talked with my fellow student (who is an engineer) about bending a pipe for me. He said that the machine shop here at Cornell will bend it for me for free as long as he goes along with me and says it is for a project (which it is kind of is
). Anyway, If I can get that done, I will be able to fab my own lightbar for basically no cost because I have all the materials lying around.
