True, but in my area *most* of the JY's cars have useless seats. They either had the windows or doors open if not gone so they get weathered. That is if the vehicle isn't a totaled wreck. Something like this is my best bet for replacing my nasty buckets (Ebay, not sport seats). I am aiming to put a console in to replace the one I have (no armrests, who's idea is this), that is fun enough.

I just installed a set of them in my 95 reg cab ranger. It is a bit different getting into than the factory seats. More like camaro style seating. But after a day or so, I got used to the difference and I really like the support and ride the new seats give.

Were they the same seats as these? How are they for back support? Me and my wife have back problems so we have to be careful. We did a 16 hr round trip to Tulsa in an '02 Neon and by the time we got home, I had to crawl out of the car because I couldn't stand up. The back support bulge was too low. On the other hand, wee have done 2 of the same trips and 1 to St. Louis and back (28 hr(?) all told) in our Ram and had no problems. The really sad part is we are both OTR truck drivers and usually have no problems. Heck if I thought I could make them fit, I would put my semi seats, or at least Ram seats in there. I think they would both be to wide though. I also need to figure out how to run air to them. MJ

I figured out 1 *slight* issue with the semi seats. They don't fold forward more than 6* (bolt upright). :bawling: So that won't work. I won't be able to get to the back seat. I almost had to eat $330 trying to buy seats for a '96 Explorer 4 door. Same issue, but beautiful seats... I belive they would have bolted in. Am trying to find 2 door. Does anyone know if the '99-'04 mustang seats will bolt to my bucket frame rails? How about '05-current Mustang seats? I have found a bunch of these (along with LOADS of seats from the Expeditions). Please advise... Thanks, MJ
This is :buttkick:

so just install the driver side...let them crawl into the back through the passenger side...nothing wrong with asymmetrical seats if you're comfortable...used to have a Tempo seat on the passenger side and Sploder seat on the driver's side...worked for me...
