Hi all just wanted to jot my thoughts down after installing my Corbeau Moab seats into my 92 FJ80. FWIW my rig originally had the cloth manual seats and I'm looking to get rid of both.
#1 The Brackets they provided are not quite 100% drop in fit and needed some encouragement with a pry bar on the driver side to line up enough to get the bolts started.
Also I noticed that trimming away the carpet for the front feet helped quite a bit.
#2 The passenger bracket will not mount over the rear heater with enough clearance for the slider mechanism. As another poster mentioned, the only way short of removing the unit is to Dremel a piece of the plastic ducting. There's a pretty obvious hump that impedes the bracket.
#3 The Corbeau Seats upon first impression seem to be built well enough and the Moab seats have a really tall back. They are also really firm, although I've heard they soften up with use.
#4 The Lumbar bladder imo is a must for at least the driver side. I can't comment on the heaters as I haven't wired them up yet. I will update eventually to record whether or not my US Spec 92 has the stock heater plugs under the center console.
#5 Corbeaus Tan is the closest color match to the Toyota Brown/Sable. They look almost coffee/caramel. Imo they look pretty good.
#6 Both brackets come with a section of bar for the seatbelts which is not needed on my model as the seatbelts mount directly to the floor.
Overall I'm pretty happy. Definitely a nice upgrade.
Example of the tolerances I was dealing with.
Compare and contrast.
This picture imo shows off the In person color a bit better than my previous photo.
