Aftermarket Seat Recommendation?

I currently have the stock bucket seat configuration and would like to replace them. Truck has 312K on it and these seats are tired and beat. There are a lot of bucket recliners (listed for my year of Toyota pu) on ebay for under $300 per pair... that just sounds too good to be true. My driving is primarily hwy but I get pretty mean off road at times. If anyone here can vouch for a good/great aftermarket pair of seats please share your experiences. The current buckets are getting to be hard on my skeleton.

Add vehicle info? You size may help as well. Most people use toyota buckets they get from other toyotas. Newer pickups/4runners, Highlanders etc. Very few "upgrades" that are bolt in. A lot that only have to oblong 1 hole. Search and measure. Figure out what your bolt pattern is for your current seats and then go searching through the yards with your tape measure. This subject gets brought up about every other month and some of the older treads have great info.

A good upholstery shop could probably make the buckets you have good as new or maybe better.

If you are looking at the generic seats on Ebay don't do it. They are crap

90's Acura and Honda seats are about as plug and play as you can find. I have early 90 Prelude seats I pulled from a car with 65k on it. Adjustable lumbar and side bolsters and bottom had an adjustment
nice and comfortable

My signature tells the story. What "additional vehicle info" would you like to hear about? I can talk about my badass Jeep if you'd like.

Corbeau is the only company that makes specific brackets for these trucks and also makes seats designed for offroading, they have some pretty sweet stuff, I'll hopefully be getting some of their trailcat seats in the next couple months.

Thanks, I figured the ebay offerings were junk. Not interested in used seats of any kind. I have $$ and I want new fartless seats.
Thanks guys, I'll keep searching. I'm sure somebody makes nice offroad seats that can be adapted to the Yota bolt pattern.

Corbeau has an excellent selection, thank you again Saturn. The Baja RS look like the seats for me.
