My ass seems to be getting a punishing in a non romantic way from the GQ seat.
After talking to some of the lads at the meet up I would love to hear any other stories from members that may have done something to make them more comfy.
Whether it be other seats that fit, modding the original or even just an added foam, etc...
Personally I like Scheel seats but they are hard to come by, can still be bought new under the name Scheel-Mann.
Another cheaper option is BA Falcon XR6 seats.

As for your comments about saving your ass and romantically punishing your ass...............you're on your own there!
Can't help with the new seat advice, however I'd recommend you don't install racing-style "hip huggers". These are fine in flat track racing cars where you need to stay centred in front of the wheel but are no good in a 4x4 as you need to be able to sway left and right on rough tracks. "Hip huggers" lock you into the seat and throw you around too much for off road use.
I just want cushiony goodness Plassy...lol....I agree with the hip huggers though!
Anything other than standard seats will need modifications/adaptors of some sort, and an engineers certificate to be legal.
Standard seats could be repadded and retrimmed by an automotive trimmer. Because this does not alter the frame of the seat it does not need to be engineered.
