I had them remove the power driver's seat and replace with a manual one that swiveled. The shifters have been cut and threaded to allow them to be removed so that the driver's seat can be turned 180.
With a 150 lb roof rack, a power penthouse is not really optional.
A good shot of them building the door panels. The entire interior is leather, grey with black accents. The only cloth material in the vehicle is that used for the curtains in the penthouse.
A final shot of the cabinetry before the leather goes in...
The next time I would see the vehicle, it would be done (about 2-weeks later). I flew into Austin, spent an hour or two going through an orientation, then drove it to Dallas..... where I took it all apart...
The objective was to install all of this equipment at a local custom shop I have worked with for many years.
And to figure out where to install these air horns....
The biggest challenge was the subwoofer. I wanted to get the biggest subwoofer I could in the van, while not encroaching on any of the storage space, while respecting the air-space requirements for the speaker itself.... it ended up being a 8 inch JL Audio in the back door.
Built a custom enclosure...
Cut a big square in the door : )
Covered it in leather to match the rest of the vehicle and set it in.
Meanwhile, cut in four additional speakers for 6.1 surround.
... and completely destroyed everything else in the van installing a Kenwood deck, satellite radio, nav, bluetooth, front/rear cameras, game interface, flip-down screen, and a new alarm system.
Then we put it all back together and it worked perfectly with no problems......... really, honest (after a day or two).
