Seat Options: WH/Tom's?

I'm looking at seat options, and am after an easy install (I don't have time to a lot for building or modifying brackets right now).
I'm looking at the Wild Horse seat kit and the one from Tom's. I am also wanting to install 3 point shoulder belts while I'm at it.

I don't see much difference between the two options other than Tom's has a premium option.

Has anybody had experience with either of these (or both)? I am 6'0" and wear 36" long jeans, so if one has more legroom over the other that may be a deciding factor.

I'd appreciate any opinions since I've never seen either of these seat sets in person.

I bought the grey premium seats from Tom's (front and rear) in March. Very happy with them. Nice to have a recline function! I'm 6'3, similar leg length and no issues for/aft or vertical head room (I have a Rampage top presently).

Toms is coming out with a brown saddle looking option too! That’s what I’ll be purchasing.

have not used Tom's seats, however the WH seats sit you very low for head room for tall folks or folks with a cage.

Thanks for the input! I went ahead and ordered the Tom's Premium set. The deciding factor was they tell me the premium material is durable and easy to clean.
They're supposed to show up later this week, so I guess I'll know if I made the right call then.

Started installing the seats last night. I'm considering moving the rear seat further forward than the instructions say.
There's not even going to be enough room for a cooler or toolbox behind that seat.
Would I be making a mistake moving it forward?

No real mistakes with Broncos. But a “I wish I hadn’t done that” is often very likely!🙄😉😁
Just take some measurements. Possibly you will run out of passenger leg room before you leave enough room behind the seat for a decent size cooler.
Look for some slim coolers to see if you can make that work. That might be the only way to achieve both ends. If it’s just kids riding in the back leg room is usually not an issue.
But adults get short changed pretty quickly.

You can put the seat on tracks so that you can move it back-and-forth as needed. Or you can just through bolt it like it is now.
You’ll have to reinforce the floor where you put the new bolt locations probably, but it can be done usually.

I honestly don't have back seat passengers alot. I think I might have to have some people come over and let me know what they're bare minimum legroom would be and mount it accordingly. I'm 6'0" and I think it could go at least 8-10" forward...after all it's not a road tripping rig.

Nice job on the interior! Well, at least the front half…can’t see the back half. Lol

Thinking about pulling the trigger on the TOMs walnut seats myself. Hopefully they will have matching door panels soon :) Would love to see some pictures!
I’ve talked to them on the phone and they said they don’t plan to offer matching interior pieces yet but will sell the matching material separate so you can have your interior reupholstered to match
