Oh my bad...I don't know why but I can't seem to insert the actual link, it keeps redirecting to JC Whitney home page?!

In the search box, enter these item numbers:#20461G#19795G

I still like the ones that TRUCKER posted, and think I may go with the Leatherette ones.

Found them for sale on nico actually, just need to keep your eye out you can easily nab a pair of 350z seats for $250-300 in great condition the leather ones probably go for closer to $500-600 but I personally like the cloth better they fit me snug. These look brand new dont they

Well, I was going to do my seat swap within the few weeks, but it's come to a huge halt. But when I do change them out, I'll update.

Seats installed in my 86 720 came off an 88 MR2 and needed very little bracket mods. Front holes line up almost perfect and only had to modify diameter of outer bolt hole.

personally i like the mg mini seats in these trucks!!! my dad is restoring his, and i just set one of his seats in my truck, and it sits in there perfect! the back is just a little lower then the door, and it sits about 3 inches off the ground! so im either going to go find some of these seats, or the old school b0mber seats, since there about the same hight

I just put buckets in mine and if you have a 720 like mine Cali model then all you need to do is remove the front two screws and loosen the rear screw rotate the ecu and tighten down the loose screw.

KC is nice since there is some reclining room, teh regular cab doesn't have a lot of room to recline.

I just want something that is more comfortable, and preferably bucket seats. Making quick trips around town isn't that bad, but when you gotta sit for more than 40 minutes, it hurts.

I plan on installing some subs and make a console in the center, which is another plus with buckets.

oh yeah i feel ya!!when i got my truck the stock buckets had like three yard funiture cushons stuffed under sum cheap seat covers..it was really bad you couldnt sit in them for more than 20 minutes without ur back killin ya...iv seen honda, nissan car and s10 seat in these little trucks and they all looked nice..unless your a crazy good welder i wouldnt recomend doing any to the frame rails of whatever seats you do decide to use i would set it where you want it and drill through the floor and drop sum nice fat grade 8 bolts with sum washers through and tighten them up i just did it today and you cant tell the seats are out of a 97 4runner except the color difference!!they freakin rock!!!!!
