'85 FJ60 Front Seat Options (1 Viewer)

[Fyfcalls]

i was planning on doing a BMW front seat swap but the guys at Torfab said their mounts will not work on a 1985 FJ60. Anyone have any ideas on what I can upgrade to? The original seats suck and I like to put something like the BMW seats in if possible.

i went with middle row honda odyssey, im 5'8" and appreciate the couple inches higher i sit now. cut down u-bolts and welded in for mounts. both front seats pop out now in seconds, and they both recline too.

BMW Seats into an 85 FJ60

You will have to make your own adapters/brackets for BMW seats. Volvo, Dodge Neon, PT Cruiser, older 4Runners, Scion have also been mentioned as OK swaps, but nothing is bolt-in unless you go big and buy Procars.

The other challenge is that most alternative seats will sit high in an '85. Look at how your stock seats attach to the raised mounts on the floor and this will make sense.

I can tell you my Volvo seats sit way too high. I"m about to take a cutting wheel to the seat supports to get them back to a reasonable altitude.
