3rd Gen Dodge Viper seats:



The seats are perfect for an offroad rig! They have carpet on the back for durability... and velcro patches:



Modified center dash panel [WJ/TJ/LJ RB1 Nav radio / Wizard_pc 6 switch panel / NSG-370 6spd]





Switches below the shifter for easy access [Driving lights / Front locker / Rear locker]:



Everything lights up like it would from the factory:



[Rear defog / Rear wiper / Fog lights / Rear fog lights (used for aux reverse lights) / Locker switch (modified from a TJ/LJ switch. Used as a master kill switch for lockers and winch) / Extended idle switch (currently used for rock lights)]



Primary winch control switches (the handheld can still be used) in an easy to press location (wired through dash Locker master kill switch to prevent inadvertant activation):



Door panels modified with Limited woodgrain trim and reupholstered to match the Viper seats:



Powertank and HR3 fire extinguisher:



Kicker 6.5" CS speakers x4 in factory location with factory Inifinity tweeters and a Kicker 8" sub in a color matched Select Increments box:





New black carpet from ACC:



Reupholstered headliner in black and added a factory overhead console (completely functional):

I have the same cb radio setup in the same location, did you just drill into the radio to attach your mic holder? do i need to worry about hitting any critical electronics? or do you think i could just drill in the general area you did?

btw i really like your idea of screwing it into the radio, ive been waiting for weeks to mount my mic holder because i cant find a spot i like.

That post is over 5 years old, and he hasn't logged on to this forum in 14 months. I wouldn't expect him to respond. Just sayin.

To answer your question, though, the mic holder that came with the radio is designed so that you remove the screws on the side of the radio and use those to screw the mic holder on to the side of the radio. No drilling.

Build threads are located in my signature. Click the blue 2001 if you're looking for more information on installing Viper seats. I recommend getting the "photobucket embed fix" extension for your browser as my pictures may not be visible otherwise (photobucket has singlehandedly ruined the internet).

In short though, they aren't a direct swap by any means but doable over a weekend. I payed $500 on ebay for this set of seats out of a wrecked Viper. These steps are for a 97-01.

First I ground off the factory brackets (5-7 steel rivets per side):



I then made some adapter brackets out of some 3/8" or 1/4" steel (I dont remember exactly):



All bolted up:



The front of the seats were too high so I cut the front legs down 1"



Then welded them together and painted:



I modified the factory seat trim to hide the tracks and make them look more factory:
