looking for front seats for the YJ to accomodate 5 point harnesses. Don't want to go expensive and buy mastercraft. is there a fairly ok budget seat out there that won't wear a hole in my backside during a day of wheeling?

Mastercraft's are one of the nicest, prp's are also good. I'm using a corbeau baja ss. in my buggy. I paid 100 for the seat but it was preowned and unused.

I plan on going PRP seats when I buy some. I have liked the ones I have sat in and hear nothing but good about them.

Scott and Brandon are running Hunsaker's. You could probably PM one of them about the specifics.

I actually have the older model, Scott has the newer ones. Both are quite comfortable. My shipping was great Scott's on the otherhand was quite horrible, still a good product in my opinion though.

Also are these good seats for someone 6'3" and 230#?

I'm right at your size. I sat in Scotts and they were a little tight up around my shoulders. I'm not sure about the Hunsaker's, but my guess would be they have them in larger frames. I'm pretty sure PRP offers them.

The new hunsaker synkro should fit you. I'm 6'2" and fit fine. However I don't know what color you are after but they are out of black. I had to get grey and dye them black.

I do NOT promote shit, just 'cause I bought it. I love my PRP seats. It made a WORLD of difference in a day a wheeling. They look like Mastercrafts, but cost 1/2 as much. :lol: I am 5' 11" - 320 Lbs.

Mine are the extra-wide versions.

AOI had some for sale recently; they may be a dealer now.

Im about 6 foot 200 or so, they are a bit tight on the hip. I can imagine they would prob be snug on you, they do however make different styles. Scott and I both have the Synkros.

I like the PRP seats, I picked up a set for mine. And have sat in a couple they seem to be comfy. I will be able to give a better report after I wheel in them.

Timely post! If this deal with the truck goes through seats are one of the first things I am going to do!

I love my seats. You get a lot of different options, and I bought them b/c they were considerably cheaper than mastercraft. I am 6'3" 250.
