I have searched and found tons of threads on seats but not alot about how comfortable they were and was the swap successful. I have an 86 standard cab project. I don't mind fabbing brackets or buying some after market seats, Mastercraft, PRP, or ?, but I want to be comfortable when spending all day long on the trail.

The bench in the truck was trashed so I found some seats on craigslist that I think were from a Taurus. They seemed comfortable out on the ground, I cut and welded and mounted them up. I tested on a number of short trips and I still thought they were great. Yesterday went on a trail ride. We left at 2PM and got back about 11PM. My back was killing me. I think the problem is the seat wont recline far enough in the standard cab. If I slide the seat way forward it seems to feel a little more comfortable but then the right leg is pretty cramped going between the gas and brake.

I am not tall, only 5' 10 or so it seems I should be able to make something work in the standard cab.

Another thing I realized afterward about the seats that doesnt affect comfort but I couldnt fold them forward which makes it harder to stuff a jacket or other supplies behind the set.

So who has found a very comfortable option that works in the standard cab?

yoterr

i was thinking about buying some race trim seats, there mastercraft cheapies i think, their suspension seats so theres nothing to bottom ur butt on when you hit big bumps, heres the link to what i found..http://www.jeepswag.com/empi/buy2/ yea i kno its a jeep site but whatever..

My SR5 buckets are really comfortable haha, but im not sure if they will give you enough room in your standard cab. You can adjust them to hold your sides in and push the lower part of your back out, i think its called lumbar.

yes the SR5 buckets are pretty nice with the side bolster things and the lumbar support...i love mine in my '92 4runner ...in fact i might put em in my '86 until i get the runner fixed

although i would LOVEEE to find a comfortable 60/40 bench ..i love the bench seats as long as they aint wore plum out

why does the passenger seat and driver seat look different?

So what years SR5 seats? And you have enough recline and sill leg room in a standard cab?

I am really thinking about some PRP's

The drivers seat has a cover, there is a bitty rip on the edge, drives me nuts. But the seats were 50 bucks for both, so until I repair it, its covered. (I think from an 05 4 runner) Room is good once i am in, i an short, 5'8" and my head still hits when i get in. Way taller than my bench. And the Pass seat is now out, room for my Dog.

I like your horn button emblem, and the CPL badge below the 12v outlet

And the added benny of 1 seat is, I do not have to give someone a ride, hehe,. My wife gets ill when a passenger so we use her Honda, and she can't drive a stick, MINE MINE all MINE. My lab needs the room.

Teuf

OOPS meant 95 4 runner, i think, somewhere around that year

Jay351

aww kitty!

My cat likes to hang out with me while im working on my truck too!

I vote SR5 buckets. Easiest swap and most comfy seat!

ATVTRAILRIDER

So everybody votes SR5 seats. Even better than PRP's, Corbeaus or??
