Has anyone found more comfortable front seats which fit the Jim? My wife has a bad back and wants a bit more comfy for laning.

Recaro's from a Ignis sport in mine are fab and i know a few others have them.

Pretty easy to fit, just some fiddling about with the adjuster bar in the back to make it shorter and then they fit onto the jimny frames/sliders/plastics nicely.

I've been looking into this too, wondering if a set of Escort/Fiesta RS Turbo recaro seats would fit as they appear to be very similar to the Ignis ones but easier to find.

Other option could be the seats from any Fiesta or possibly Focus, again they are fairly easy to come by but may require a lot more work to make them fit compared to the Ignis ones. Not sure but I think I heard that the Swift seats are an easy fit too.

Hmmmm guess I need to get the tape measure out and see how much space there really is for new seats.

As a former scoobies fanboi I have been looking into farmer fabbing mounts for a pair of sti fronts, they were singularly the most comfy chairs I have ever had in a car.
