    Front seats Defender

    Hello Aussies

    I was wondering if you could assist a Pom?

    I am looking for a set of the type of seats that you get in trucks that absorb the impact of off roading?

    I am struggling to find them here in the UK, as we don't have bumps in the road, but I understand that they are quite common in Oz - can you kindly point me in the right direction?

    Thanks in advance!

    Regards

    Adam

    Not sure how you'd fit them in a Defender, the seatbox would have to be modified because of the suspension base.
    A company I worked for in the UK used to supply KAB seating KAB Seating UK

    Someone else might have an alternative supplier.

    Bostrom are another truck seat manufacturer but I've never seen a 4x4 that isn't truck based fitted with one.

    Truck Seats, Air Ride Suspension Seats, Heavy Duty Trucks Air Ride Seats

    Tractor seats such as the one in the link might be made to fit

    I know that Santos fit a level rider seat to their Tojo's out around Jackson/ Ballera oil/gas fields.

    Don't recall the brand but it has a rotary dial that you dial up your body weight to.
