    i put used bestop jeep seats in mine.
    75 bucks. so comfortable. longest ride ive taken is 6 hours to winter romp. no back issues at all. i sit in my wifes mazda 3 and im squirmiing in 5 minutes. the tuffy box is very comfortalbe as a arm rest / coffee holder.
    i do drive mine everyday to work and around town. getting up at 530 and getting into a cold rover to goto work isnt fun for the first couple of miles in the winter. but maybe if i ever get my heater blower fixed it iwll be fine.

    I know the feeling. Mine warms up for 15-20 minutes before I ever venture out and then it take 5 or so miles to ge the tranny warm.

    You have a heater that works?

    Did you have any issues with the seat mounts?

    nope
    took the tracks out and bolted right up through the seat box.
    they fit right inbewteen the original bottom seat frames
    so i didnt loose the rigidty of the seat box. opened up a hole in front of the toolbox that i never use any, and put some fender washers and nylock nuts so they dont loosen up. dropped the gas tank on the other side and did the same thing. have fun
