    The wide rides start out ok, but after you break em in there is 0 support, your back will hurt, bostrom or sears.

    5M, I had one in that Arnold truck I was driving. It wasn't too uncomfortable but it was VERY hard and the material was very abraisive to the ol behind if ya know what I mean. it was a real tight woven pattern and just made my butt itch after even a short while.
    back cycler was okay but was kinda creepy. it was like the seat was breathing..lol

    Big boys and their skinny trucks! :biggrin_2551:Whats up with that? :biggrin_25525::biggrin_25525::biggrin_25525:


    I suppose if I can't find a retailer nearby some of the dealerships probably have some display seats?
