I use Masercraft Sportsman seats with the adjustable lumbar...quite simply one of the best investements I've made with my EB. I can literally drive all day and aside from being wind buffeted, wet, half-deaf, etc, my butt and back are great. My old stockers were painful after about 2 hours.

The Sportsman is essentially the same as the Rubicon (I believe...or the PreRun) but with 10 degrees more rake so it doesn't feel like you're kissing the windshield. They're not cheap at about $350 each, but PRP makes similar products and they were going to be my second choice.

I found the mounting systems just had to go a little into the mastercraft website.i think that the sportsman is the one for me, don't really need the adjustment in the backrest. thank's

We're partial to PRP and Beard since we sell them :) Mastercrafts are very nice seats though a bit pricey. I've never sat in a Hunsaker but they seem to be getting more popular too. In my opinion the Corbeaus seem a bit cheaply made by comparison to the others. I've always run PRPs in my own Broncos and have liked them a lot. For seat mounting in the EB, the mounts from Beard are the bomb.

Anyone using Hunsaker seats. Looks like you can get a pretty good price on them. $340 a pair. Seems like all others are about that much per. Do you like them? Are they well constructed? Any comments is greatly appreciated.

That's a good price if their quality is comparable to PRP or Beard. I'll be interested to hear some testimonials too.

I'm looking for a dealer locally that I can go and look at them at. I'm hoping next weekend to be able to do that. The price just seems to good to pass up. Anyone else with knowledge of these would be great to hear from you.

I have a pair of Hunsakers in my truck. They're a little wider so a guy like me fits real nice. (42" waist, 56" chest) Super comfy full suspension style, I would recommend them.
