it all depends on how much you want to spend, and the toms seats im guessing is the one with the bronco script? if it is then im guessing you have a good amount set aside. just look at most racing seats they have good safety features and are very comfortable. you can go to www.truckperformance.com and put in your vehicle and then look at the seats, or go for the toms etc etc...just up to you ;D

Are you on a budget? If so then a set of 90 (approx.) Ford Probe seats fit pretty easily.

The Tom's seats seem very comfortable. I won a set of these in black at the recent East Coast Bronco Roundup! ;D I have not mounted these yet since the rig I will likley use these in is a couple projects down the list

A friend has Beard's in his rig, and he thought these were just as comfortable.

I also have a set of Fiero GT seats that I had planned t get recoverd for the same project which will likley use the Tom's in now. The Fiero sets are cool since they are low profile they allow headroom for tall dirvers, and no loss of headroom when mounted on a seat mount that's part of the roll cage. They also have two speakers that are buit into the headrests which may be kinda cool, but I have not tried them yet.

Search the threads, and read this , or like SaddleUp said, just go visit a local junkyard or two and look around for some seats.

I walked through my favorite junkyard and looked for seats that were still indecent shape, then sat in the ones I liked and narrowed it down to a nice reclining set in a dodge omni...I think that was the car. I was happy to see that they bolt onto the floor in a very simlar way and I might be able to get the sliders to work. I haven't mounted them yet, the project isn't that far along. Maybe in a couple weeks, but they look & feel good and you can make almost anything fit.

Muddy1966Bronco · Jul 26, 2004

Oh, and it cost me $40 for both with all the hardware...very nice for a tight budget!

I like mine from Wildhorses, comfortable and a good fit.
I do have to lift myself over the side to get in and out of them but other than that they are really nice.
I had a junkyard set from a ricer, but I had to bend down to see the red lights.
I can see out of the middle of the windshield with these.

I got mine out of a late-90's XJ-8. They are really comfortable and have good side support. I just have to figure out a tumbling mechanism for the passenger seat, but whatever the top is off who cares.

i have a pair of 97 explorer seats, heres an older pic:

I've got the Bestop TrailMax Sport seats. I mounted them on some sliding seat brackets from Summitt so now I can recline them and slide front to back. They are very comfortable, water proof, and not too expensive.

I recently installed Beard Super Comp up front and Beard 39" Super Bench-BH in back, with tracks. Great Seats. No complaints other than the wait for them, several weeks.

DownhillManiac99 · Jul 26, 2004

The Corbea Baja SS bolt right in and are super comfortable. Modified the brackets so the driver side would move back farther for my 6' 4'' and growing height but thats all.

I have PRP Seats. IMO same quaility as Beard but cheaper. Alot of sand buggies use their seats. $180 a seat. You custom order your seats check out the website www.prpseats.com

The Corbeau's are awesome. For around $150 per, you can't beat em. (They also offer larger sizes for those that need it.)

;D ;D ;D make me so happy ;D ;D ;D

Another option that I just found was bluetorchfabworks seats. I have not seen these in person or have any idea about mounting them yet but they look nice adn have great prices. Between $80 and $260 for a pretty trick seat. i am also soon to be a dealer for them and can anyone here discounts on all there products.

I like the beards. Yet a reclining/adjustable seat would be nice on my daily driver....

?:?

Labbster · Jul 29, 2004

I second the probe seats. I bought four.......two for me and two for my father in law. All together $100 and they look like new!

highrlr · Jul 29, 2004

Those Beard's are awesome, hopefully the ones my rig wil be getting. How is there price?
