Thread: Touring seats?

Well, I find Defender seats more comfortable than my P38A seats!

What about seats from a newer Rangie? Also I have always found D1 seats to be very comfortable. At the end of the day it is a personal thing though as we are all built a little different - kind of like Land Rovers

In the past I have semi ruptured disks in lower back, fractured tailbone, so my backs not good. In the last 20 years of driving I have found the disco 1 seats best for my back as it seems to suit the relief of the points that need reliefing in my back. I also find that it takes a couple of hrs for the back to settle into a seat and reach the pain level, that pain then dosnt get any worse if I drive for another 10 -15 hrs. Longest drive I ever did was 22hrs and 50 minutes and that was in the disco. My bigest problem is getting in and out of cars, must look funny when I get out of the wifes falcan as I have to sort of roll out, even if its a drive down the street. Hope you find a seat that can offer you some releif

have seen BA falcon seats in a fender, was told it was an easy bolt in, only minor mods to fit to the fender bases

JC - these are the seats i got. A bit pricey but i love them. I'm a young fella, so I figured get the seats now and they can last forever. I want to still have this car in 20yrs.
$1585 each plus seat rails at $298 each
G10 & V110 fabric
They also have other rails for other cars.

all the way to the front

all the way to the rear -im 6ft and can just compress the clutch with the seat in this position.
i'll get more photos of the hinges to the rear mechanism by days end
cheers geck

I agree my D1 has very comfortable seats.I have been Australia wide in the last 4 years and can be classed as very grey nomad but I don't suffer from bad back syndrome with the Disco's seats.

I can recommend BEARD seats JC,,

I had Recaros in my old rangie for many years. Comfortable, but cloth wears quickly.

In my current rangie, I fitted ARB Paratus seats. Have had them for many years now and happy with them - been meaning to get some Dingo canvas seat covers from Weipa.
