    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    As a ‘temporary’ GU solution Cuppa mate, think I mentioned a few years back, pardon the pun. Thoroughly can recommend calling in to a specialised mobility type shop hopefully nearby on your adventures out there somewhere? Slow moving stock may find you scoring state of the art technology.
    As before, love my 1/2 price Sciatica air bag cushion, been all over the globe cattle class in years gone by too

    Seat bases for the LTSS were $450 ish last time I got one from Stratos/KAB... they are actually made by Recaro

    So that is $2000 a side. Making the change overs in Brisbane even more attractive. Will save at least $2000

    Once again getting aftermarket seats has been placed on the back burner (pun intended).

    I spoke with the three places who can supply them in Cairns & prices varied between $2800 each fitted, & $3300 fitted for the same Stratos LTSS . $5600 to $6600 is too much for a pair of seats. We will wait until we find some at a better price, either used or 'on special'. Wnt happen before we go up the Cape next year.

    The $1660 each price on the link in MR's post is unfortunately way out of date, I contacted them & would have ordered a pair like a shot at that price. It was a place which provides info to folks with disabilities etc, they don't supply anything, & suggested I contact the Stratos people direct which I did. As of a couple of weeks ago the RRP is $2500 per seat plus fitting kit (plus labour to fit in Qld, where 2 out of 3 retailers insisted engineering approval was required & a plate added to the car @$130 extra). The Stratos people did say that I could probably buy at under the RRP if I bought from a retailer & not from them! How dumb is that!

    Going down to Brisbane, a round trip of 3580kms on the Bruce Hwy (Yuk) to buy seats, albeit custom made & cheaper (but without suspension) is simply not a desirable or convenient option.

    So whilst far from high tec I have invested $90 in a better quality lumbar support than the $5 cheap shop type I had been using in conjunction with a cushion. It had sort of worked but required readjustment every time I got out of the seat or even just leaned forward. The new support is better with the addition of a length of pool noodle to lift it up a little. Not perfect, but at least it no longer needs regular readjusting!

    MrsTea is 'soldiering on' until we can find her a suitable 'Sciatica cushion' of some type, one which does not slide around like the pillows & cushions we've tried. Will wait to see if we can find a local option in/around Cairns when we are living a bit closer next year before we drive up the Cape rather than taking a punt onan unknown ebay/online offering .......... unless anyone has a specific recommendation?

    Aftermarket seat question.

    Nihao Cuppa mate!
    1.5hrs ish hills drive to Tullamarine, 9.5hrs to the Orient, 2hrs train thereafter and repeat again back home tomorrow.
    I do love my portable ‘Roho’ for Sciatica, ‘Mosaic’ I believe scored at least half price years ago although did find adding a good 500mmX500mm ish Aussie Sheepskin under its cover for Cattle class adventures helps farts sneak out silent yet muffled :-)
