Unfortunately, car manufacturers don't always expect us to actually take our vehicles offroad - so when it comes to fitting out your vehicle for a major trip you replace your suspension to improve the ride so ... why not replace your seats? View Full Article...

Hi CLC50

My 1985 Landcruiser is as rough as they come but faced with a replacement because of comfort considerations some ten years ago I replaced my wife's seat with a Stratos which has a 50mm vertical movement adjustable for the weight of the passenger. She was so pleased with it a fitted one for myself. Seats cost around $1600 each but saved me some $65000 on a new cruiser. OK, l now have a 23 year old vehicle with 300000 km on clock but just finished a 9000 km trip and still going strong. We are both 75 yrs young and hope to get another ten years on the road.

cheers Franles
