It can be hit and miss here. I have been looking for a KR bench seat for months, nothing. About a week ago, 3 show up, but they all want too much ($800+), one looked to be in really bad shape, or will not sell separate.
I happened to look at one of them again yesterday and saw they had sold just the front seats, so figured I would see what I could get the rear bench for. I offered $150, he countered $200. I asked for better pics than the listing, he sent pics and dropped the price to $180, but the pics showed several stains and spots on the seat, as well as a wear area, and they looked dry. I said I was only comfortable with $150 due to these issues, otherwise I would pass. I know selling just a rear KR bench would not be easy, and guess he did too, so he accepted. While there I saw he had the kick panel with the cubby, asked if he would do $5, he said $10, so I figured why not. He also did not sell the front center console with the front seats, and I needed a black cup holder insert for the rear cup area, gave him a dollar for that. He asked if I wanted anything else, and I said I would like the grill for a project, but it was busted and did not want it bad enough to pay for it, and he said take it.
Best part is it was a repair shop and he had one of his employees take all the stuff out and bring it to my truck (part of the reason I went with the $10 for kick panel). I gave the guy doing it a $5, he was a nice guy and we chatted while he did it.

Hey, did you ever pay for that overhead console? The truck I got my seats from was the link I had sent you, and the overhead was still in it.
If I had thought about it I would have grabbed it for you.

aw. Haha. Yeah I talked to the guy but I haven't bought it yet. I'm planning on it. But I can't get the compass un hooked from the ceiling tried and tried over and over. And nothing. But for a broken piece of the connector trying to get it unhooked.. ( the connector that connects the entire thing to the roof for the power ) I ended up having to unplug the compass display itself to get it out for rigging..

Once I get off.. I'm going to retorque all the body bolts, change the oil, and maybe remove the wheel spacers. Tomorrow hopefully I can install my drilled and slotted rotors and pads and replace the driver rear caliber because it's frozed up

Then consider today the last day to return your drilled and slotted rotors.

Drilled and slotted are nothing but problems.

FYI, but it's your truck- not mine.
