Upgraded Comfort without sacrificing safety>> Recaro Seats with airbags

[PlayfulBird]

Never said I didn’t respect your opinion, I just have the same trim and it’s hella uncomfortable for being in the vehicle longer than an hour, seats are stiff and I bought it brand new.

I believe you that you feel they are uncomfortable. Honestly I am sorry to hear it. It is a expensive mod to do well. Comfort is important. Ergonomics for your health as well.
Don't really want to flood the thread here with posts of different experiences. IMO the seats are comfy and have been fine for us doing 8 to 10 hours non stop sitting and driving. My wife drives the truck from here to Dortmund in about 6-7 hours and no complaints. We did an offroad tour, everyday about 4-5 hours on varying terrain, washboards to riverbeds to a few tricky obstacles. Getting bumped around a lot (only getting out to clear fallen trees and stuff). Quick lunch then another 4 or so hours. Camp for the night. 7 days no problem.

Glad to read yours are working out for you, hoping I can find replacements that will fit my comfort needs.

Leather or cloth seats?

find replacements

Hope you make a thread on it too.
We have a few brands that make good seats, but the prices are insane. Going to a person (Sattler), saddle maker, who customizes, repairs etc. costs even more.
Maybe that is a solution though. Just getting the padding changed, or is it the ergonomics and shape of the seat?

It’s more about the padding for me

Leather, my wife would have preferred cloth. Not many options here. Gotta take what the market offers. What I do enjoy is the seat heating and the, I never thought the day would come, the steering wheel heating. It is actually very nice. I never activated it on other cars. Seeing as it activates automatically and with the tazer on both sides, well... love it.

I am sure a shop in the states can figure out a okay priced solution to improve the padding.

Its crazy that jeep can make a seat that sucks so bad and then make the Mojave seat. I love the stock seats in the Mojave.

Lol, the Mojave seats have a little extra bolstering that’s about it. Guys say the same thing about the handling and ride, Mojave is basically just a set of shocks. It may ride a little better and the seats may hold a little better but it is not huge differences.

These seats are almost the exact same copy from a 2002 Audi S8 D2! Amazing!

Might be able to find some of these seats from salvage yards, would be more cost effective.

I always wanted one of those after watching Ronin.

Manuel edition too. Nice.

I'm going to discuss building a resistor/connector for the seat airbags. A good buddy of mine is an electrical engineer and has done alot of work with GM and Mopar.

I would get some new seats and not install the seat bags. I have gone this far in my life w/o airbags in my seat, I think I will survive.

Depends on which car forum your on. Somewhere someone has done a DIY air bag delete using resistors when using aftermarket seats.

These seats are drool worthy, love the mod OP. Now every time I take a long trip in the gladiator this will be in the back of my mind.
