    @Dan8906 Mine were Baja XRS, but Zane's right - they were not comfortable at all - like sitting on hard plastic. Might work for some, but not for me. Looked great though. Took some doing to get them installed well, too.

    Replacing My Seats with Corbeau Baja XRS…Or Not

    [​IMG]


    I've just recently moved on to something more comfortable but significantly more costly, also on Zane's recommendation. No write-up yet, but one's coming.

    I've got the Moabs. They're OK. I think I would've stepped up to the trailcats if I were to do it again.

    I wish there was a shop you could sit in all the seats and see what works best for you before you buy them.

    Damn I was looking at the XRS since they are suspension seats too.

    The old kazuma unit was installed with swapping gears. The other lsd from factory comes as a complete assembly with gears

    Mmm…the hate is strong. You guys are just jealous that you don’t have unshielded 12000K bulbs in non-projector housings.

    I don't like second hand light, stuff bounces off everything getting all dirty picking up tints and hues in the process, I generate my own clean photons behind my cornea.

    Hate is too strong and not worthy of this situation. But truth be told, I have a very strong dislike for anyone who, through their behavior and choices, disregards the welfare of others.

    I realize the OP has a problem. Toyota headlights for their trucks prior to the '98 model (some would say prior to the '05 model :notsure:) sucked donkey dicks. But aftermarket LED lights is not the answer.

    And yes, I have lit up a few jeep owners when they run down the highway with their stupid bright lights on.

    Which? The Corbeau's are the Baja XRS; details here: Replacing My Seats with Corbeau Baja XRS…Or Not

    The scheel-mann are Vario R's. There is remarkably little information about them online, but what little exists is here: Vario Seat | scheel-mann. I'm going to try to make more info available in my write-up, which I expect to post next week.

    Look forward to the write up, at first glance it looks like 25% ish more in cost which isn’t horrible for the right set up
