Fill us in on the comfort vs. lack there of factor dozoor... i've heard those seats may be a tad harsh over rough terrain?

Hunted for a while , but found them at American auto parts in hombush.
$69.95 for seat , $69.95 for covers , 5c cheaper NAM
Colours , black/red ,black/black, black / green-yellow-purple -blue
Mounted with a simple 2.5mm flat plate , 420mm -350mm sheet metal jiont supplied and cut for $20 the pair, Just drill to siut the seirra runners and the mount holes on the rci seat.
Half a dozen mutiple lenght bolts requierd for each seat.
So overall cost was around $320 including a can of satin black to paint the mounts.
Trail test -- 14hours I found them to be Good for me on the trail. Although the have minimal padding they are shaped quiet well ,
I do intend to place a piece of high density foam under the sqab ,and if i need to use them on a few hour trip ill through a piece of sheep skin on there as well.
For long trips I wouldn't recommend them as they are a fixed back so you a confined to a single position ,For my car project they will be exellent , I really like the ability to take the cover of with just two studs ,
Makes hoseing the interior out heaps easer.

Yeah they are a bit FIRM. I've got them for mine but I prefer the standard ones until I drop the ride height a bit....

was going to put a switch in the dash but the less wiring the better
