Default Narrow driver & passanger seats ?
Does anybody besides me find them a bit narrow these seats. My friend wants to buy a JKU and he finds them too narrow too?
Any suggestion for aftermarket seats or something.......and honestly neither of us is fat.

Thx

They seem to fit me just right IMO but they do feel a little more defined than my old XJ seats, more side support. Probably what makes them feel more narrow

Actually, I wish they were a bit narrower, or at least had some side support.

You could always buy different seats... Plenty on the market.

My '08 seats are perfect for me, I haven't sat in the new interior, but I may be taking a trip to the dealer soon as they're starting to have good deals in '12s!

I don't see how u could get a bigger seat. Yeah it's a little cramped compared to my expedition but it's way better than my tj was.

One of the aftermarket seat companies - Mastercraft or Corbeau - have "XL" series seats, I think. Or "wide" series, or whatever it's called. Probably your best bet. (And they're supposed to be incredibly comfortable to boot!)

I am 6'4" 300# and they fit me perfect. I honestly can't see how they could be too narrow but it is a personal preference and if they feel uncomfortable to you and you can afford it I would look for other seats.
