Movement on the Jailbar. . .

 Bleeding the brakes on the Jailbar takes time like everything else. Serious braking system from full house Hilux running gear, this rig is running a real kranky donk and you just gotta be able to haul that mongrel to a stop when it's necessary. . .
 Seats are finally racked and installed. This old pick-up is haulin' some serious mumbo and if the brake pedal is pushed to the metal, you don't want the seats ripping out of their mounts and launching the occupants through the glass-work.
It's not just a matter of sticking nuts and bolts through the old holes, any idiot can do that! Serious consideration has to be given to how these changes are going to be structurally effective. . .note also the contact buttons in the door recess for speaker wires and window electrics, very cool!
Simple but very effective instrument cluster and quick release steering wheel. Twin gas tanks out the back read as a single unit and contents are shown via regular style fuel gauge. Big billet pedals for brakes and accelerator.
