Seat for gearing up

[Brett Hatch]

Time for another video.

That would be very helpful

you have a tailgate, slide the boots off the end, hit with deadblow hammer or lead weight. They come off.

Either way, standing them up in the tailgate and getting into them without boots is not an issue and how most of us do it

Thanks! I recently turned an extra bedroom into a small home gym (not like I'm having guests any time soon...). Think I'll need to start doing some squats and deadlifts, because these puppies are pretty heavy to pick up from sand-height.

Were you diving when you bought the car?

No, I'm not willing to give up;

1. A standard transmission
2. Almost 43 miles per gallon.

Maybe you need a roof rack...

Tempting very temping, but kinda a hassle also

That's an interesting thought. I have an T350 I gear out of, so it's no issue, but I might be downsizing that. I would love to see what comes up.

Wait! What happened to the Sprinter Van??!!

When we learned that we were expecting twins (daughters), we purchased a 2003 Honda Odyssey minivan. That was in 2002. It took me a while to get used to it. (It's quite a bit larger than my RX7 FD.) I still have it. It still gets 25 mpg highway. I can't imagine a better diving and camping vehicle. Very easy to dress out of.

ETA: The attached pic was taken a couple of years ago at my neighborhood quarry when I was playing with my then-new Vintage Double Hose Classic back plate.

I still own it, actually. The T350 is far larger, quieter and has more comfort.

Vehicle mods for diving are fun. My Subaru has a tank holder, gear shelf, and a little seat in the rear so I can sit down to gear up. I see lots of other ideas here. The more you know of, the better you can figure out what will suit you best.

Having a tough little folding table is a good idea, I think I will steal it for my setup.

Would like to see picture of your setup on your Subaru...if you don't mind

I am still thinking I would like to own one (a Mercedes Van) one day and do to mine some of what you did to yours.
