Plywood Incident

I was returning home from Home Depot with plywood sticking out of my jeep. Well, I forgot about the wood and backed into the garage. It was one of those, what the @#$% Happned, moments. Well the plywood caught the header over the garage door and this forced the wood into back of my front seats severly bending them and throwing me into the steering wheel. The house won the skirmish without any dammage but the seats are ruined. My wife thinks I did it on purpose because I wanted aftermarket seats. But no, It was an accident.

My question is, which seat should I but buy? I'm looking at the Mastercraft reclining seat and the Corbeau reclining seat. The Mastercraft is a great seat but the Corbeau is about half the price. Will they fit and is the installation hard? I can't seem to get a good answer from calling around.

Thanks

I've heard the MasterCraft are a true suspension seat while the Corbeau are not. Thus the price difference.

BTW...I need to remember that trick. I think I'll be needing some plywood very soon 😈

I used to wheel a lot. . .

Someone should write that up as a tech article. "Attach lumber to unwanted part, then drive into a house." lol

Sounds like a good test for the wiki site. 😀 We're going to need pictures though.

Here are some pics of what not to do. But seriously I will be putting in Mastercraft seats and that might be a good topic for a write up.
And if my insurance agent is reading this, it really was an accident!

Go to 4wheelparts in sacramento. They have some seats you can sit in. Also I think rubicon express has some seats in there tiny show room that I thought were comfy. I can't remember the brands tho.

Um...what?
