I just returned from a trip to see Landtank. He installed his 80 Series Seat Extensions on my 1997 Lexus LX-450.
I have to say, he did a great job and I am impressed by the innovative engineering and the superb quality of his product. These extensions are one solid piece of metal and they are clearly far stronger than any component on the seat itself.
Rick is a great guy and a truly dedicated Cruiser aficionado. I can't thank him enough for designing and installing these seat rail extensions. I only wish he made one for the 100 Series now.
As far as the result? What a difference..!!! I have both a 2006 LC 100 Series and this 97 Lexus LX-450 80 Series in my driveway.
In all honesty, I am more comfortable now in the Lexus 80 Series than I am in my 2006 Land Cruiser. As soon as I jumped behind the wheel of the 100 series I was shocked to see how different it felt. The leg room and comfort of the 80 Series now makes it the first vehicle of choice now when I leave the house.
I gave the 2006 LC to my GF She LOVES this vehicle so she is happy ... as am I. I plan on doing a few mods to the 80 Series ... now that I can drive it comfortably.
Anyone thinking about this should stop thinking about it and just do it. You get more room than you might think based on just the measurements alone. It makes a huge difference.
