| I saw the other post about building some, but I am just interested in buying a set. I have my seats on order, so I figured I should get some of these on the way. If you have some can you give me some personal opinions of what you have? Would you buy them again or different brand? I will be building a cage once i get my seats in, and want to get the roof as low as possible. I will post some pics once I start the cage build. I came over from the rock crawling scene, so the cage shouldn't be too bad. Just have to come up with a design I like.
Thanks in advance, Stephen | |

| I have sdr seat bases but it wouldn't be hard to build a set if you have any fab skills and access to a plasma table or somthing | |

| I ordered a set last night. I'll post some good pics once they arrive. I have the plasma but don't feel like trying to re-invent the wheel. Seems there is only basically 1 way to build them. Figuring $30-$40 in materials, and 3-4 hours in labor it is almost a break even deal to just buy them. That tedious stuff really sucks to me.

| I ordered mine through Str8up Motorsports. Hopwfully they will be here some time next week. The ones I ordered say that they only work with aftermarket seats, but I'll take some pics and measurements once I get them in my hands.

| Yeah, the bases came in. The seats I ordered don't bolt to them correctly since the Corbeau seats I got are designed for stock mounting locations. The bases seem to be setup for a more universal type aftermarket seat. I bolted the Corbeaus to the stock bases for now. You sit at the same height, but they are way more comfortable. They also have a little more lean back to them. They are close to the bed. The only main gripe I have about the Corbeau seats is that they stick outside of the roll bar about 1-1 1/2". Some of the trails around here might be close to hitting them. I'll just have to be careful. Im going to keep the bases since they will bolt to a PRP or other aftermarket seat in case I decide these seats are too wide.

| I got the high back for a Rhino. I like the high back part, but wished I would have gotten a different brand of seat. They are nice but a little too wide. I had to bend the outside seatbelt bracket out quite a bit so they would fit.

| Ok I was thinking about the mastercraft seats but wasn't sure about High back or low back. Plus I was also thinking about the lower seat bases to get more head clearance from my gun rack. | |
