    I drive a series truck every day work , play, chores, everything. Have also used them on a trip of 900 miles one way and a number of 300 mile trips one way. Mostly in my SIII witha SIIA exmod as a backup. I don't have many issues with doing so. I have not done much over a stock truck. I do have a bit of sound dampening which helps with noise. I will say that I would have been in a bind for a while had I not hade a backup truck.
    Prefer driving these over my wifes toyota.

      I know the feeling. Mine warms up for 15-20 minutes before I ever venture out and then it take 5 or so miles to ge the tranny warm.

      You have a heater that works?

        Did you have any issues with the seat mounts?

          nope
          took the tracks out and bolted right up through the seat box.
          they fit right inbewteen the original bottom seat frames
          so i didnt loose the rigidty of the seat box. opened up a hole in front of the toolbox that i never use any, and put some fender washers and nylock nuts so they dont loosen up. dropped the gas tank on the other side and did the same thing. have fun
