Googled and only saw a beach chair mod anybody tried it? Jus from looking at it doesnt look to hard. Coworker got his pa melted down in a fire so he has the seat laying around thought ask before I start ordering parts

Terrible to have a fire. Hope it wasn't too bad for the rest of the house.

I'm sure that It's possible but I'm willing to bet that it would make the outback unstable, that is unless you find a way to have the seat sit lower so that your center of gravity is not so high.

It will void the warranty but it can be done. PM sent.

Only the garage burned down fire department made it on time sadly he lost most of his fishing gear couple of his reels survived so i gave him couple of rods and he hooked me up with the seat

good karma
