Good luck, race car drivers are small people, like jockeys, you may
see Cory Mcclenathan being interviewed by not as small a drivers after
his Saturday Crash: http://billhughes.com/temp/coryMacCrash.mpg
You find something other than especially made, post it for us (me).

Isn't that like admitting that you're older than 29?

display. However, I am planning on going with PRP seats instead. Probably the
Competition Pro Series in a wide.

Take pictures for us. Usually the sides are so high it makes it
difficult to squeeze in-between it and the steering wheel. It's not like
we're in a sand buggy only a foot off the ground.

Jeep I recently went to sit in to check out the seats. I hope to get all the work
done on the rig in July, so I will be ordering stuff next week with that in mind. The
Atlas will take 5-6 weeks to get, and I am not sure of the time lag on the seats, its
a couple of weeks at least I think since they are custom built.

bucket seats are very light and are not designed for lasting very long (they
have minimal padding because you don't do that many miles in them and it
adds weight).
If you don't mind paying the money, something from Recaro is usually pretty
good quality (they make seats for sportier european models, and a lot of
stuff for the aircraft industry).
http://www.paragon-products.com/product_p/recaro_pole_position_leather.htm
Sparco stuff used to be pretty good also. Corbeau used to be ok, but I think
they have gone down hill now.
You *must* try one in a shop, as bucket seats being a fixed shape may not
suit your shape. If you can't get on with a full bucket, you can still get
some fairly decent lateral supporting recliners (again Recaro do good ones).

definitely spend the bucks for a local shop who can mock them up for you
as noted.

I got are nearly worth the cost! VERY comfortable!!!! They came out pretty too.
They fit me nice, and the guy who did the install is a big boy and he also finds them
very comfortable. They are not cheap, but, they sure are nice. I got the wider
model, with the 3" shorter cushions.

Competition Pro Series
$319.00
34" Tall x 22" Wide x 26" Deep (view seat dimension guide)
Mounting Area: 14" Wide X 18" Front to Back
Built with heavy-duty firm foam
The seat bottom is reinforced with duel Pirelli straps
Slotted for 5 point harness with 2 slots in headrest
Standard removable cushion
Available 2" wider
Available 4" taller
I got the two inches wider. I also went with the option to get the seat cushion
three inches shorter (front to back). In addition I had them leave the piping off
and double stitch them instead. (all this adds to the price) They are very
comfortable, well padded, and dont pinch in the hips at all. My lean and lanky next
door neighbor came over and sat in them a bit ago and really liked them alot. The
guy at the shop is probably 6 or 6'2, about 250-275, and broad in the shoulders and
hips and he fits in them nicely and really likes them also. They do NOT recline. I
did get the slider setups so that they can be moved front to back, since the guys at
that shop cant even get in the Jeep where I keep the seat set. LOL.
Honest, I will take some pictures later or tomorrow and post them with a link. I
just have not had time yet today.
They did have some troubles getting them in the TJ (these are mounted to the cage,
not to the floor), I lost my center console, and they had to finagel with the Atlas
some too, otherwise you couldnt get to the shifters with the seat up as close as I
needed it. Also, they were unable to run a bar diaganolly across the door since the
seats are wide and even with just the soft doors there isnt room. It was a squeeze
to get them in, however it looks good and will work fine. I will have to mount a
skinny ammo can or something instead of a center console. I lost my cup holders too
- they had to take them out to make the rest fit, but that wasnt really because of
the seats.
For me, since I am short, its a little bit of a squeeze between the edge of the seat
and the steering wheel. If I were taller it would be no problem. However I am just
glad that I am going to be able to keep the stock steering wheel on. Oh yea, and I
also go the seat covers, which are vinyal and pull down over the cloth part of the
seat to protect it from the weather. I will probably use those a lot - keep the
local cats out of my seats when the top is off.

such a thing since they are custom made. What I did was find someone nearby who had
the next ones down and went over and sat in them. I found that they were comfortable
but not padded enough and they pinched in the hips (standard width). So from that I
figured that the more padded seats and the wider ones should work and if not, well, I
was really really screwed. I sat in all the Corbeau seats and there was only one I
found comfortable, however, it was similar to a stock TJ seat, where this has the
"wrap around" too it and the seat sort of cuddles you. It should help on the trails,
where I have come back with my back rubbed raw from being thrown side to side in the
seat all day. Pictures soon...

pisses off my son-in-law that my Laredo's seats are more comfortable than
his Limited's factory leather seats. His are heated though.....

just jump in after digging an axle out of the mud. I found water once in
our desert winter time, and fell in, after that I carry a couple of
beach towels to cover the seat.

the seatbelts (on the outside of the seat). I suspect that they would blow around,
