Suburban front seats replaced

I had Hummer power seats in front but switched to these third row seats mounted to bench seat brackets. I mounted the whole seat further back to suit my driving position; Seat still slides fore and aft like a regular bench. Plan to add a center console as well.

Got the idea from the Pershing Truck idea site

Thanks Ed!

These seats are fine for my short leggedness that don't require a lot of thigh support.

I have all three factory seats and 2nd and 3rd rows are pretty much for "show" and education purposes.
As you well know they are heavy and cumbersome and a drag to take in and out.
That factory front seat is not very comfortable and I find the seat bottom too long as it digs into the back of my thigh.

If I slide the new seat all the way forward and fold the passenger seat back down, it's as easy as the jump seat scenario, to get to the back.

You had me wondering how easy it was with the new seat to access the rear. Your photo makes it clear that it's easier than I thought it might be. Thanks!
