Toms custom vinyl seats

[drnoe]

I'm new to the forums here, so let me know if I need to post this in an old thread.

I am looking at seat options. I did search on here, but the posts I found relating Tom's custom vinyl seats were pretty old, hence the new post. Some were not terribly positive. My question is have these improved much since since? Some of these posts are approaching ten years old now. Does anyone have a relatively recent experience they can share? I'm looking at the "vinyl denim" not so much to save money as faux leather vinyl sucks when it's hot.

The Corbeau buckets that are in there are too... buckety. I'm past the age where I want to pour myself into that. I have the originals and was thinking of reupholstering, but headrests are nice for not injuring one's neck and stuff.

I would love to hear other recommendations, but I want to keep this pretty straight forward bolt-up with no fabrication necessary.

I am going to be in the market for some seats too. I was looking at Toms as well as WildHorses. Their premium seats are about $100 more than Toms, but they're supposed to be vegan leather (whatever the hell that means). They are pretty local to me, so I might drive over and take a look at them sometime soon.

I own a similar set made by Bestop and they have been fine, In fact mine came with the weird denim material as well.
I believe the WH and Toms seats are all made by Bestop and they are all at least from the same manufacturer? They provide the lowest seating position but are not a suspension type seat, although I have spent hours driving and off roading and didn't have much issue.

That being said I recently had them recovered and had the upholsterer add 1" of memory foam and heaters in the seat bottoms which should add some nice extra comfort when I get this rig back on the road.

I went with the Wild horses. So far liking them. They do sit a little lower then stock which is nice. The mounting kits were straight forward.

This may seem like a weird question, but do the rear seats have the LATCH bars integrated? Curious for all the Bronco parents out there...

They sit lower and mine slide back more than stock . I did have a spring mount break but was easy to get bottom cover off and reweld the mount . I would rather have cloth insert seats but I am too cheap to get costom covers

no, i'm not aware of any aftermarket early bronco seat that has LATCH
