They come with seat heaters? Is that vinyl or leather?

Honestly don't know. I am sure a little bit of goolging would give us an answer though.

Seats that come with heaters, and fold flat are the front passenger seat from a 04-08 Grand Prix

They aren't power either.

Might do this for this winter as it would be super quick and easy.

So a German company is farming out production to a UAW represented American military contractor to build awkward wagoncars in the US for export to China.

Some of this applies to me but most doesn't. I don't have the air system. I also have and dont have that intelligent track thing. Mine is just lightly apply the brakes manually and it locks the diff, seems like it does it automatically. Also don't think I have abs.

So if I wanted to just wire in seat heaters under current seats for this winter then how would it be wired in?

It couldn't go just to the battery as wouldn't it have a draw of power all the time then?

Get a toggle switch. Power and ground in one side, seat heater out the other.

But the converter draws power all the time, how do I wire it up without doing that? Or are you saying the toggle switch has to be turned on and off every time?

Still waiting on the title. Did buy and instal the windshield wiper knob. Still need the inside drivers side door handle, have the outside....just wish I could just fine one part instead of both.

Title needs to hurry up.

After much thought. I think I am going to try to vinyl wrap the humvee in a digital camo. I think it's pretty much the ideal vehicle to do it to, a box!

It's funny you mention that as I've been trying to read and figure out not only how much I need but where the best place to buy from....I've come up with more questions than answers. Lol. The wife thinks I will ruin it and should pay a professional, not for how much they charge, and you can't hurt a humvee...that's the point in having a humvee!!!

If anyone has any history with ordering any place please let me know.

I can print the vinyl for you, just let me know how much and what pattern of camo. I’ll do it around my cost.
[thestealth] It's not every laborador-sized mammal that gets a damned APC named after it, but the Honey Badger isn't your typical member of the Mammalia class. He's a brutal, vicious killer who kicks asses, never backs down, never registers fear, destroys everything in its path and then adorably trots off into the sunset with his prey in his teeth and the severed nutsacks of his enemies still gripped between his dagger-like claws. It's a badass animal.

[thestealth] just like steve

Maybe this will help with estimating materials.

Oh you rock. I want the black/gray/white digital camo, not quite the snow stuff, more black in it than that. I will find you a picture. Think the vinyl will stick to the top and doors? If not I may want to do a traditional digital camo.

I don't think there's any way to make it stick to canvas.

Dang, I know I can dye them but I guess the more typical digital camo. Steve can you look at that pic and have an idea or do I need to ask around and see how much?
