Dang...that didn't take long.

I was on a day trip down to Tuscaloosa...stopped about 30 minutes out to let Dozer out since I didn't know how long I'd have to wait before I could dump off. Anyway, I get back in the truck to go and the seat back is no longer locked in place. I managed to get it so that it wouldn't go back, but every time I'd lean forward, the backrest would follow. So, that seat had to come out. I still have the old seat that was in the truck when I bought it...but I pulled it out for a reason. It's wore out, none of the air (lumbar, etc.) worked, so it really didn't offer ANY support and was extremely uncomfortalble. Not only that, but it's a wide seat....and I'm not wide enough to fit in it, so the arm rest is a bit if a reach for me. I do still have the seat that USED to be the jump seat....I unbolted it from the base when I built a seat Dozer could climb up onto (he's not allowed on people chairs). The base, however, was not air ride...and had a convenient storage box...so I bolted Dozer's chair onto the OEM base. So, I had to figure out how to get a non-air-ride seat to bolt onto a Bostrom Talladega 915 air-ride base.

I think I got 'er licked.

This was the bottom of the broken seat

...and the bottom of the seat that I had to get to fit onto the air-ride base the broken seat came off of

This one shows Dozer's seat, too.

Anyway, I'm not too happy with that Bostrom seat that broke...wasn't even all that old (bought it maybe 3 or 4 years ago)....
