     build in additional bolster and lumbar support, yet lowering the
     cushion a bit and keeping the stock look. The little voice in the
     back of my head kept saying "your back and azz are gonna hurt WAY
     MORE than they do now," but I let Steve's upholsterer do his thing.
     Looking at the finished product, it looks like a stock '73 seat
     (trimmed in leather), but it's gotta be the most comfortable,
     long-haul seat I've ever sat my keister in. I can easily go through
     a full tank of fuel and not feel fatigued (as others have noted,
     your mileage may vary). I wish I had a set of these suckers in my
     daily driver, but they'd look really out of place in a 4Runner...
