corbeau bracket & seats in a 55? Please post photos

[89yotanut]

Does anyone have the Corbeau bracket with seats mounted in there 55, if so will you post some pictures.

No pics, but I've got this set up.

You will sit higher than the stock seat, so if you're a tall guy this will be a problem.

I'm 6'0", and it works for me. I like the comfort of the seats, as well. Althogh, mine are getting soft in the side bolsters and they're faded pretty good. Probably had them close to 7 years in the desert sun.

For me having the seats higher is great! Better visibility! When I first got my pig the PO had put 2 inch blocks under the bench mounting points. When I took the bench out because it was broken I purposely mounted the buckets just a touch higher than that because I'm only 5'8". It gives me a great view all the way around. Just my .02

One of the PO's installed 2-3" wood blocks under the front bench.. Sketchy. I recently picked up some freebie high back bucket seats out of a Bronco that are in great shape. Wish I was on the cool train with the Corbeau style.

Will the rear heater fit in the stock location if under the Corbeau/SOR mount setup?

I put Silverado seats in my pig, they are comfy and have integral shoulder harnesses.

I put corbeau seats and brackets into my FJ40, it put the seats way too high. I had to cut, weld and machine the brackets so I could fit in the seat.

yes, and the width between the seats (at least mine) is perfect for a tuffy console

I'll see if I can find some pics

How did you mount the console to the frame?

Thanks for the photos, like the fact I can put the tuffy console, I have the seats,looks like the frame might be the way to go.Can you slide the seats front and back,I am assuming they still move as a unit like a bench seat?

 

[bogus one]

The seats should have individual slides

frame is stationary
