Volvo 240 seats. You can get them heated too if you want.

Jeep seats. Common as much used. I bought new Bestop Trailpro's. A simple adapeter consisting of a sheet of metal to span the Land Rover Seat rails plus a couple of lengths of 3/4" square tube and they fit a treat. It even lifts the back of the seat just enough to clear rear flange of the seat box so you get an extra 1 - 1.5" of leg room. They are also quite comfy.

I put a pair of Corbeau GTS2 in my 110. They are less than Trackers, and more comfortable. I prefer the high side bolsters of the GTS2 but they have many styles.

I've got a set of RRC front seats to put in the lightweight and will be picking up a full set for the 5 door (if I ever get around to that project). Dry fitting shows that it should be easy with the exception of all those silly wires under there. :eek:

Any one have a wiring diagram for early 90's Range Rover Classic seats?

Another thing to remember, if you've got under seat fillers, is how you are going to get access to them once the new seats are in. Don't ask me how I know this. :o

A hole saw should help. It would also be a quite convenient mod to save embarrassment on those long runs with strong coffee and few rest stops.:D

That would require a bumper sticker. Which might help ward against tailgaters too! ;)

Here is something along similar lines for the trail rig that has everything (that you'd want).

Anyone have any good suggestions for a two piece seat for exactly this reason. I have tanks under both seats and would like a more comfortable seat than the military one currently in the truck.:confused:

Install the seats on a locking hinge of sorts. Luckily you've got a bulkhead (or bar behind you) and the seat belt in front of you so making sure the seat is 100% solid in a collision shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Of course there might be a seat option that works better than this idea...

Tracks I made for corbeaus. They remove in about 15 sec for access to the underseat compartments.

Thanks Ike, would I then need to take the whole seat out to fill gas? ....I don't get enough weird looks as it is, filling gas inside the car, without having both front seats sitting on the ground beside the pump! :D

You have to take the seat bottom out anyway . . . not much difference. If you didnt want weird looks, you shouldnt have bought some old crusty piece of foreign military surplus :D

There are two piece high back seats available. They're the same style as the SIII deluxe black vinyl seats. Not available from our hosts but other US suppliers carry them. I've got a set and like them a lot.
