Corbeau RS Seats

Found a great deal on a set of RS Seats on CL. Two new suspension seats and new 4-point harnesses new in box. Mounting these in the front and likely getting a set of Corbeau SS bucket seats (like Kinder's) for the rear.

I love Craigslist.

Nice looking seats. But watch out. As soon as I get things sorted out Bronco-wise, I'll be back on the CL prowl taking all of your sweet deals before you can even hit "reply". icon biggin

Muhaahaa-Muhaahaa (Dr. Evil Laugh). Hopefully the deals will keep on coming leading up to Christmas. The seller on these seats needed money for an X-Box for his kids for Christmas so Black Friday maybe better spent on craigslist than the Mall :)

Crap. I have two Xbox. My first contracted the dreaded red ring of death. I was in Germany at the time. Lock down. No drinking. 1 hour recall. Nothing to keep me entertained but the gym, movies, and Xbox. So I dropped the coin at the local post exchange and picked up the second one. Germany per diem is OUTSTANDING so it was really no worry. And I scored an HDMI output on my new unit. Once I got back, I sent the original in and got it back a couple of days later.

Now if only I could get my copy of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 out of the new unit! The disc drawer won't eject.

I have those as well. I got them in black. I also got the blue recoil corbeau seat belts. The seats are great!!! Make sure you mount them low, I used home made sliders from the salvage yard. Let me know if you need some ideas for mounting and sliders.

I will definitely want to see your install Zen. Since I am the only driver, I am tempted to skip the sliders and mount them directly to my cage. I am not sure that possible, but I want to get them low as possible as you mentioned. I definitely want to look at your install over the winter. I know I am not buying the Bronco Specific Mounts from Corbeau - they are $100.00 per seat! I am happy to hear you like them Zen - I am so excited.

Man I need to find me a set of those for cheap. My stockers have seen better days.

Nice find! I have the same seats (in black). The Corbeau sliders are not $100. I think more like $70 each from Bronco Hut if I remember...maybe cheaper. The mounts are nice and get the seats very low to the floor. I would recommend them.

Someone cut a hole in your floor.

So my question is how does one access the back seat? Do they fold foward enough to get in the back like stock?

And how hard is it to get in and out of the truck? Those sides on the lower portions look pretty high. I'm running a non-tilt column and having a helluva time getting in and out as it is without tearing a hole in my jeans.

Airbur, you may want to reconsider how those harnesses are mounted. Having the rear attachment points that low can cause some pretty serious spinal injuries in a wreck.

Exactly why I ordered the Beard Enduro seat.
they have basically the same construction as the regular super seat ( full race ) but have lower sides for easier in and out.
I need it even more as I am vertically challenged

Brianut - please post some pics of the Beards - excited to see what style and colors you went with.

Kinder has the Corbeau SS Suspension Seats in his truck. The side bolsters are higher than the RS Series. I was able to get in and out with ease. Sitting in them was total nirvana. It is good to try before you buy but I bought based on looks - luckily they are comfy.

The question is, does Kinder have a tilt column that makes egress simpler or is he still running a stock column? I'm pretty sure I already know the answer.

I got in the Passenger side of his EB, not the driver side.

haha...yea...that was earlier this year during the carpet-install process. It's nicely covered now.

Stock column, SS seats on Corbeau sliders, access to the back is down the middle, no biggie for the kids but if your old or slow you probably won't be doing those moves. In is easy, out is okay as long as you are willing to get over the side bolster. They are great off road compared to the stockers, I'll be looking to upgrade the back bench soon.

Yea....there is no where else to mount them at the moment and I don't use the shoulder harnesses right now anyway. Any ideas on a better location? I will have a family cage in soon but there won't be any bars behind the seats.

Eric - I like the Corbeau Harnesses you have installed. The harnesses I have, the rear straps are bolted down, so there will no movement after getting buckled - yours look like you can move forward so you can pay at a Drive Thru, roll down the window, or change the radio station. I may have to install my 4 points in the back and get a set like yours for the front thumbs up

Yep, they are the Corbeau retractable belts. They are nice. Only issue is the slots for the shoulder straps in the RS seats are very snug....you can move forward with them on, but when you sit back again, there is slack in the belts due to the slots holding onto them. I think I can widen the slots a bit.
