Paratus Parry Rally in the front of mine. Around town ill admit they can be a bit sore on the posterior, but on long trips no sore back or numb bum what so ever.

Im not sure if you can still get them through ARB or not, but they were pricey when the previous owner purchased them.
Cheers,
Dan.

stock gxl seats.
you can laugh...
but they are way better then my old DX seats.
they were a huge step up from my old FJ40 seats.
its all relative on your age, budget and degree of softness.

I'll put my support up for the Sahara seats as well. Never sat in GXL seats for any length of time but my Sahara ones are quite good. How trashed are you original seats. Material stuffed or just padding gone. Also look at cost of getting them repadded. I haven't costed this for a long time but sometimes it's not too bad depending on the upholsterer and they can pad them to your needs.
