After our recent 2655mi trip it might be time to consider getting some Scheelman seats. Who’s the go to with 70 series experience? Thanks

I have them in my troopy. You'll need brackets from planted.
Send me a message and I can take videos, etc to share via phone.

I’d like to know this too. Thinking or this or Recaro expert since my accident.

75 series (Ute and troopy) aren’t able to have factory suspension seats due to the raised floor to make room for the forward fuel tank
Noted: At least others here considering them can at least be aware of the issue at least in case they have them in their 73 or 77.
Now if someone in the PNW gets rid of their factory seats for a sweet set of Scheelman's let me know, someday I dream of having matching seats. I dont know where the black-ish one that is my driver's seat is from, but it works.
I’m saving my lunch money for some recaros

My friend in Cali has Recaro experts in his 40, loves them. I’ve heard tons of good things on the Scheel Mann here as well.
They are similar in price with the Recaro expert standard colors cheaper.
Decisions…
Whichever you choose I would suggest adding armrests!

Can confirm, arm rests are key!

That black looks pretty good with the gray interior. Are those expert ?
Thanks! Not my first choice, it’s black vinyl but turned out very nice, I was afraid it was going to feel like cheap vinyl but it doesn’t. My first choice was to going to be med. gray leather but wait times were too long at the time and I got these within a week. These are the specialist m’s btw. Not as much adjustment options but still comfortable.

Black or Grey for the blue/grey interior?
You can get grey and then the delta seat cover which is available in black (if you get scheel-mann).
Here is my seat cover. Supposed to be grey but looks more green which disappointed me however the quality and fit of this cover has proven excellent so far.
Pic of my scheel-mann seats before I put the cover on the drivers seat which is actually motivating me to remove the cover. The grey scheel-mann vinyl just looks better itself.

I like those as well…hmm trying to decide what will look best and most factory.
It‘s obvious that Naugahyde is no longer appreciated. 
I have had both and have another set of recaro experts ready for my next build , I feel the Scheelmann seats are just hyped up to much and do not justify the extra cost vs the Recaro’s
Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I’ve never had a scheelmann seat and I am sure they’re great seats but outside of mud and expedition portal I’ve never heard of them.
