    I even bought one of those purple things to sit on. Meh.....take it or leave it. I have a problem with the seat digging into the back if my thighs. Then my legs and butt start to go numb. So I move around alot in the seat. I look like a add ridden 5 year old going down the road....lol.

    Used trucks kill me. I usually end up with a truck one of those big ol’ boys drove. When I get it the outer edges of the seat pad are pounded down over the seat frame and my imaginary ### lands right on the metal. The truck I have now is an ‘05 we bought in ‘10. I got it after Butterbean drove it for 5yrs or something and the seat was destroyed. My partners father came home from an auction with a new seat for me he was right proud of. I was thrilled, until I got home and saw the stitching on it. Bostrom Wide Ride +. I look like a little kid sitting on it.

    Went to pick up a few odds and ends last week the place I normally shop had a pretty good selection of the legacy silver seat. Tried one out and it felt pretty good. They gave me a screaming deal on it and I couldn't pass it up. Made the first run in it this week and I really do like it. Way less bounce than my old seat, and the adjustable armrest and lumbar support are really nice. The biggest complaint I had with my old seat was if I put just a little bit of air in it it would bounce and bought them out, and if I put a good bit of air in it it was too stiff and would bounce me off the ceiling. The new seat seems to have just a little bit more side to side movement than I would like but all in all I am pretty happy with it.
