Driving without seat?

[fordguy]

I need to drive my car to work 20min to use the welder for seat bracket. I cut up the old seat and new one needs fab work. I dont think I have 220 at home, or I would bring it here.

Is this a stupid idea, to sit on some pillows? Better to put the seat in and sit in that, even if unbolted? Bring welder home and mickey mouse it with 110?

I prefer an unbolted seat over no seat. Pillows would be fine as long as you can get high enough

 

[SomeGuy]

Just ratchet strap the thing down and send it.

Bucket, lawn chair or milk crate. I've seen all of those used.

 

[Hooligan]

5 gallon bucket and get it done.

What the worst that could happen?

 

[Gbkeith]

What the fuck, man?

 

[BigBurt]

Stand up and hang out the window like ace Ventura

I know a man that drove a car for years just sitting on a couple bags of grain. Same guy had no steering wheel for a while and steered with a pair of vise grips. A millionaire that you would think is homeless. And in fact lived in his car and under a bridge for a few years even when he had a house. Now he lives in a trailer house with no front or back door. He says he sleeps on the back deck unless its raining or snowing.

Been there. Done that

 

[Boss]

5 Gal Bucket works

I've also steered a Jeep with a crescent wrench. Drove it to the parts store to get a new steering wheel.

It's pretty shitty to have to panic stop with a seat, and probably awful without it.

What materials do you need 220v to weld on a seat bracket?

 

[Dirtyjed]

Milk crate or bucket.

 

[KDXSR5]

Are we talking 20 minutes in CA interstate traffic, or 20 minutes on side streets with no traffic?

In my younger (dumber) days, I have used both a bucket and a milk crate. Both were low speed (30 mph) drives with little to no traffic.

 

[Possum]

Look behind your dryer if you have one. Quite possibly a 240 plug there.

And milk crate/apple crate/ bucket and send it: or if you can rig the new seat to kinda fit just run that.

I used a milk crate once in a 51 Willys pickup. I don’t recommend it. Drill and bolt some angle iron.

Just STFU and drive the fuckin car down there bitch. make it happen.

Just dont let any of your cop friends catch you. Might find out how cool they really are

 

[SuperAwesome]

Some of you must be pretty damn short to be able sit on a 5 gallon bucket in a vehicle. I'd just sit on the floor, with a pillow.

I can't think of any house in the US without 240v power.

 

[SomeGuyFromOlympia]

the kids run the old Jimmy around the field about every weekend without a seat
they are 8 12 and 15
two of them are girls
the real questions are

1. Why can't OP figure this out?
2. why can't OP weld ?

 

[AKnate]

I can't think of any house in the US without 240v power.

And before someone says it. Talking about on grid normal house. Not your hooker rape shack 20 miles from the nearest road.

They didnt teach that on the boat

 

[95stepside]

youve mentioned what your payment is on like 8 different cars, and yet you don't have a way to get a seat there without driving the disassembled car?


Bet you're an expert on riding a bike with no seat though

 

[ToughBowtieTruck]

I can't think of any house in the US without 240v power.

Surely he should drop it off at a fab shop and wait several years to get it back instead.

 

[fordguy]

Can definitely weld. Didnt grow up on a farm so no experience with this type.of thing, didnt want to end up on the freeway deathtrap

saw a connector behind the dryer, 3 prong. Ordered an adapter. Worth a try

 

[Ranchtruck]

5 gallon bucket and get it done.

What the worst that could happen?

The bucket could split and shove a shard of plastic right up his rectum?

I know a guy who stood on a bucket to open the door of a car up on the lift. He woke up in a puddle of blood. The bucket split and a shard of it sliced up his calf and he hit his head on the concrete when he fell knocking him out.

Any time he sees someone sitting or standing on a bucket he shows off the gnarly scar and tells the story.

 

[east_beast]

A family friend farmer had an old dump truck he used to haul silage that I never knew to have a seat, just had a shoddily secured five gallon bucket to sit on.

 

[total newb]

Im 6'2" and can drive a datsun 510 without a seat and arm still hits the window sill like i jave a seat in a chevy.

Anything is fine as long as you get high enough..

 

[spork]

Put the seat in, finger tight the easy to reach bolts, and drive it.

 

[Aisin]

I used a milk crate. Even got pulled over by a cop. My interior was completely stripped. First thing the cop said was please tell me this thing isn’t stolen.
