After 230K miles and some 14 years of ownership, the seats in my 25 year old FJ80 were beat. Add losing 50 lbs, to the equation and my "used to 290 lbs" OEM seats just weren't holding my 240 lbs as well as they had. (Put the "B" in bachelor lean)
After searching the forum and looking for a nice pair of replacements from any number of vendors, I pulled the trigger on a NICE new pair of Sheel-Mann Traveler F style seats. Having reviewed some of the efforts put forth by other members, I grit my teeth, opened the coffers and hoped the install would be smooth. I hoped it'd look good as well.
I ended up ordering the seats from Toby at Scheel-Mann USA and it took two months, but I couldn't be happier with the seats. I do want to say, though, whoever designed and made the sliding rail bases at Planted in Seattle created the perfect frame for my '92 FJ80. Complete plug and play. Four bolts out, seats out. Placed seats. Four bolts back in. And done. Again, couldn't be happier, and it couldn't have been simpler.
You get what you pay for. And my butt rests comfortable, even with less money in my wallet.
