Got the dash and everything swapped in. Even swapped in the adjustable LX Steering column.
So I got the following switched over, and only took two weeks! Lol.
Rear seat to an LX seat, Carpet to Dark Grey, Fire Wall harness, Black Dash, and LX Steering Column.
Power Windows/Locks/Mirrors to come!
Also, got me a Rear Fog Light Garnish!

I'll take pictures of the seat brackets i made. ( I'll warn you now they are archaic since no one ever sits back there anyways. Lol.)
And my carpet was out of a 4wd i believe. It was from a parts 4wd car i bought. it appears to be 4wd. it fits perfect and ive been told fwd doesn't fit for crap!Proud owner of way to many!: (Click one to view)

Okay, I grabbed some pics of the "Brackets" that i made for the seat back. To use the LX rear seat in the 4wd I needed to move the seat back latch up about 3/4". So I made a bracket that bolts to the original latch spot and then drilled holes in the bracket at the appropriate height. I drilled holes through the frame above the old holes. I then got long bolts and ran the bolts through the latch, bracket, and the frame.
So it goes Bolt -> Latch -> Bracket -> Nut -> Frame -> Nut.
You can kind of see it in the pictures.
Also, the Seat bottom needed to be shaved down a little bit on each side and a bunch in the center. Also there are two bars that are part of the frame that need to be bent up so that it sits correctly. I just flattened them up. The RED circles are said Bars and the GREEN circles are the center part of the seat that needs to be changed.
