i could be rude...but i wont

Perhaps try an Auto trimer and get them to rebuild the existing seats with more support and padding.

Just a idea.

In 1988 I had a Pajero "Superwagon" on which both front seats were suspension seats. The amount of bounce could be adjusted and they could also be locked in from memory three different heights. As suspension seats went they were top quality. However, after the initial novelty of floating around, mine was locked into my preferred position.

Hey Bill

Buy a coupl of GQ seats. My seats are but the most comfortable I have ever had.

I raised mine by 50mm , made quite a difference to seeing over the bonnet in the ruff stuff . Errol

Have you tried any of the bus companies like Denning ect? Swagman motorhomes may have some contacts??? they are up here on the gold coast so I'll give em a ring for you today and get back to you.

Give your better half birthday wishes from us up here as I read it on another thread that it is her special day.

Cheers, Trevor.

Our heritage listed Paj has suspension seats as described above. Perhaps you could score one from a wreckers and try it out? They are quite comfy and SWMBO who has a bad back finds them good for long and bumpy trips.

Thanks everbody.......the ideas (well, most of 'em...lol) are all good. As I said, I have had suspension seating before and reckon it's the ducks guts. Most of the websites I've checked out have a large pedestal under the seat and this would make the seating position too high. I did jury-rig the old KAB base up with a GQ seat on top not long after I bought the Patrol, but even then seating position was just that little bit too high.

Thus, my question was more directed at anybody who might currently have a GU equipped with such a system? Judging by the responses to date, the answer (on this forum at any rate), would appear to be "NO".

Cheers to all......

Roachie,
Question answer, No I dont but I did look in to it fairly well last year.
Stratos seats make a rear suspension unit and seat to suit the GU. As you indicated it has to be a complete unit inc seat belt bits
Downside, apart from huge cost, is that it steals a fair bit of leg room as the seat has to be mounted further fwd to make it all sit on the original mounts.
Guys there seemed genuine and talked me out of this option as I am on the rear most position on the seat rails already
Cheers

try the isringham seats(spelling could be wrong) there at Victoria rd Smithfield NSW. They have many different models & bases all RTA approved, have found that they are the best in harsh conditions on the craft we build as a lot of Gov dept now must have them fitted as a part of OH&s & have found them very helpful. did try one in my old Gq and never got use to it & went back to the stratos's
