Which seats do I have in the ffr perentie?

[auslizard]

Hi, I had a bit of a search and found some information regarding two varients of green seat one light one darker, one with removable base and one without. Mabey it's just me but mine look blue with green headrests. Can anyone tell me the story of these seats?

From the appearance of the pivot mechanism they look like the earlier alternative to ISRI seats. I have an old set.

cheers for that rar110. The isri seats where the first "official" seats were they? Then I believe another varient was available later on.

I think the seat in your pic is the initial release Perentie seat. I don’t know who supplied them to land rover.

The ISRI seats, which is what all other Perenties Ive seen have, came soon after.

I’m not sure what was fitted to vehicles refurbed/remanufactured in the mid 90s. But I assumed they kept using ISRI supplied seats. I’ve seen auction lots of new ISRI seats up for sale down south, which would probably indicate the ADF stuck with that brand of seat.

Probably not that helpful. But here are a couple of pics of my ISRI seats.

Stratos seats were fitted to later vehicles and retrospectively fitted to a lot of earlier ones as they needed replacement.

I have no idea what they are but U have the comfy seats! I got the other type that are shaped like crap and you slide/fall out/off them all the time..... Thinking of putting my county seats in.

Harden up princess. I have that other type in mine and have driven it across the continent once and half way and back this year - no problems even for an old fart like me. I can do 5-800k in a day and still feel good when I get out of it[bigsmile][bigsmile]

Maybe cause Ur short 😛

Was wearing jeans the day I did 1000kms and the belt rubbed the skin on my back raw!

I like the ISRI seats. We did a trip Brisbane to Uluru through the Simpson and back through Oodnadatta in the perentie.

I reckon they are both reasonably comfortable if they are in good condition. Have seen some stuffed ones.

They were suprisingly comfortable on the trip home to Melb from Syd. At 6'3 I also found the seating position to be just fine ( arm out the window to stretch out sometimes but otherwise just fantastic. And the supposed candle lights worked great in high or low beam.

Gday
I took a seat to a trimmer with some auscam light canvas and got them made. The trimmer did a good job.

The centre box is a standard County box, but raised a little. It sits on a ply box I made which provides some storage, attached with a hinge. This space is accessed by tilting the top box back, using the hinge.
