He is what CD said - true wingman. He sulked quite a bit last year at SAS3 because he had to give up the front seat to Lizzy. As long as he's in front on any trip he's happy, unless he wants me to get back in the Cruiser, like at the Swine Soiree last year.

I think I am putting Procar Elite fronts on Chunk. I would like to put covers on them.
Anybody know of a good quality canvas cover for those? I wonder if SOR Tuff Duck covers would work? Procars are similar shape to a stock 60 seat.
If you can try sitting in one before you buy. The side bolsters are a bit high. I went with Corbeau sport seats over the Procar for that reason.

Do you have those in your 80? I will check those out.

I did have those (Corbeau) on my "mental list". They have a black cloth too, which I want because I am using the rear split "Turbo" seats that are black and grey.
I sat in @FJ60Cam's 60 with the procars and they were pretty nice. They do have a ton of bolster which might be tough with my 6'2" frame

I have them in my 40. I'm about to head out to the shop so I'll text you a picture. I contemplated putting them in my 60 before I sold it. It looked like they would have fit and matched well.

I've got the front hj61 seats but they are RHD so all the adjustable stuff is on the right, and they cant be easily switched. Also I had them worked on locally - new black surround because it was shot, and it looks terrible. The rears are nice and I want to use those so I want black cloth for the front to try to match as well as can be.
I have an idea of taking the grey suede panels from the fronts and having them sewn into the new seats. I have to find a new upholsterer and see if it is even possible though. Here is a very rough idea of what I'm thinking

And if I was stupid lucky the headrests from the 61 seats could be made to work in the new fronts too. Probably a stretch

Pat, I get your idea and think is a good one. My favorite seats (another mud members) gave me the thought of doing just this for my blue truck.
I have the Procars in my 40. They are comfortable enough for the cheaper than most price. I had no complaints driving to SAS1 and back in them. I was able to get the cheap seat covers that was on the BJ seats originally. Thinking of doing the same in the 75 if I can find a nice canvas cover.

I have heard good thongs about the Carhartt canvas covers, and they are expensive so I would hope they are nice. I'm going to search if anyone has made either the Procars or the Corbeaus match up so something Carhartt stocks.
Looks like the split rear seats are getting the nod.

Yessir. They are a go. The mounts are different than the stock seats so I will be drilling holes in the floor.

Yep. Easily reversible mod if needed though. I’ve had a set of splits for quite a few years, maybe they’ll get put in one day.
Did you get the floor hoops the latch attaches to? The bench seat attachments won’t work.
Skimmed your entire thread last night, incredible job you’re doing.

Thanks!
Fortunately I have one of the floor hoops. Unfortunately, I don't have both!
It will take me a little time but I can make the other floor hoop since I have a template
Cool, if you get a chance, could you post a pic of the floor hoop you have. I sourced a couple from cruiserworld IIRC. Took forever to find them. Just curious how they compare.
