Help with bf's Xmas present...

I wanted to get my bf new racing seats for his 92 Toyota pickup/prerunner. Basically i dont know what to get. I was looking at sparco, but im poor lol so I dunno about that. Anyone know any other good seats I could get for him?

The seats would be worth more than his truck... Also, why the hell would anyone want to put racing seats in their shitty old pickup truck?

If u saw the truck you would say different...its got a ton of money into it, about as much as my 8 cost. And his seats arent old or anything, they just hurt his back (he got stabbed so he's a big cry baby about his back and shoulder)

No, if I saw it I would say "that guy is a moron for dumping a bunch of money into an old shitty pickup truck".

Get him some new K-swiss, a Kangol hat, and the new K-Fed CD. The 3 things every mini truck loving guy wants for Christmas.

lol ya I shoulda planned ahead a lil...

I actually planned on financing him a Celica GTS (cause thats the car he wants...bag on it all u want)...then my moms car took a ****, so i got her a new car instead...and now im poor again.

and its a PRE-RUNNER...not a minitruck (although he does have one of those 2...)

Here is a LINK with more options. Remember he will also need some way to mount the seats to his truck. So after he would unwrap them he would still need to get or make mounting brackets.

There's only cosmetic differences between a "Pre-Runner" and a Taco.. I use to have a 00' Pre-Runner. It's not special...

racing seats will definitely worsen his situation. in fact he should be driving a mercury sable or something until he gets well completely.
