Thanks to Smitty, I have a new pair of Tillet seats installed!
I was pretty unhappy with the OE seats. My back would begin to hurt after about a 20 minute ride. So, I started looking at my options. After much debate, I decided on the Tillets and couldn't be more happy.
They really hug you and keep movement to a minimum. The construction is quite nice and the seat/back/head material looks to be of good quality. Ironically, there is less cushion to these seats, but they are 100 times more comfortable. I can drive around all day without even a hint of back twitch.
The installation process, for me, was rather tiring and tedious. Tedious in that I ended up removing and installing the passengers seat at least 50 times to get the shimming correct. It all had to do with the seat rail holes not lining up with the mounting points in the floor. From what I understand, and after talking to other members, this issue is unique to my vehicle.
The long and the short of it is that I ended up slightly modifying the rail, which instantly resolved the issue.
The drivers seat went in quite easily. I only had to pull it once.
All in all, it took me an entire weekend to get the seats installed. Well worth the effort.
Thanks again to Smitty, who was there for me at every turn. If I can be of assistance to anyone who might purchase these seats in the future, feel free to shoot me a PM.
