Buckets for Gen2

Hey guys what comfortable bucket seat are you running in your Gen2 L? I have been tossing around the idea of buying new seats but I'm not sure I want to get away from the comfort of the seats I have. I don't want to cut mine and make them buckets, I would preffer to find some nice comfy buckets. Thanks guys, Woody.

Once you go with some Recaro Sports you will never want to sit in your stock seats again

I have a 2002 console on ebay that would fit nicely between buckets.

Man, I forgot just how awesome those seats look in your truck. I'm sure they have to be as comfortable as they look.
Maybe someday my wife won't want to sit on the comfy stock seats, and I can put in some killer seats

Well if I'm right the top line seats come like that. That is part of the reason they are $400.00 more. Man those are nice seats. If I swap my seats out I really need one that supports me. My 13 years in the Army have not been nice on my body. I have broke two vertibrea, an ancle, hyper extended both knees, and just the normal wear and tear from being an Infantryman jumping out of airplanes. By no means am I complaining though. The Army has always taken care of me and my family, and many others have it much worse so please don't let this be a Army bashing time. I was just saying why I really need a good seat.

Well the only real gownfall to the recaro sports, is they are really not for Big guys. While they have more room than the Sparcos they are more for slim to medium built guys.

Ebay. With shipping they were under $750 for the pair. They were new in the box from a Dodge dealer in TX. However that was more than 4 years ago when I did the seats.
