Here's my thought, seems like he stated that there was a symptom (noise)... and what he believed was the cause... Proving deceit would be tough...

it does ONLY weigh 2000lbs... I'm sure that is one of the only reasons that the axles don't break just coming off the trailer... just wait 'til he has the full power of all four squirrels!!

I wasn't bold enough to throw the flag myself, but I did think it was pretty optomistic...

Whats shipping gonna cost you ?

I see that you posted on the Pirate thread , Is their deal better .

I was going to get a set of those earlier this year.

bc35339 · 08-26-2009, 12:25 PM

I called and spoke with John and he said 2 seats to 40047 mt.washington KY= $80
$140
$140

= $360
A little cheaper than pirate. I talked to that guy lastnight and he wanted $395 to my door.

Anyone know of a seat just as good for a cheaper price?

Check these out! Im thought about trying these but kind of scared to spend my $ on something without a brand name but they do look alright

I have some smittybuilt suspension seats that have been a back saver!

carwash · 08-26-2009, 01:19 PM

have you sat in a seat like this? are you a small person?

my best suggestion is to try the seats out in another rig before you pay for them... i have known more than one person to buy seats and hate them.

yellowjacket · 08-27-2009, 04:17 PM

x2 on trying before buying! helped me out tremendously.

94Dodge Truggy · 08-27-2009, 04:24 PM

You can try my seat out if you would like but you best be clean as I keep my rig neat and tidy!

ThePeanutsGang · 08-27-2009, 05:03 PM

I had a set of the empi's sitting in a baja that I rarely drove, so I pulled them out and put them in my jeep, They are so-so for comfort. I would have been a little disappointed if I had bought them, and not just had them laying around. Like Carwash said if you are a bigger guy you won't fit in them well at all. I'm about 5'7" 175 and they are a little tight.
