I am thinking about getting a pair of Trailcats for my 78 FJ40. Any complaints about them?
I fitted a set of Prado 150 seats.
Had to remove the factory brackets and fab some new ones. Mine is a 78 with fuel tank under cab, so had to remove the tank and make sure the bolts don’t rub through the tank. Very happy with the results and all electronics work.
The only draw back for me is in South Africa we are Right hand drive and my cruiser is a left hand drive. My passenger gets the lumbar support.

2020 thread bump! Looking to replace some Mastercraft seats that came in a 78 I recently bought.
Looking for something more easy to use (and disembark from) than my Mastercrafts with 5pt harnesses, but maybe a step up in comfort and support from factory buckets. Those Trailcats look nice! Any other good seats on the market or popular swaps right now?

Looking good. I installed these same seats in mine a few weeks ago. They look very similar to stock but are more comfortable and buying these new - even with the required brackets - was a good bit less than getting new foam and recovering my original seats.
I too am running the ProCar 90’s and have been happy with them. A huge improvement on the Van bench seat I posted a few years back.

In respect to these Procar “Pro90” seats: was it a bolt on swap in your early model Cruisers?
What about post-1979 FJ40s?
PS. Fact is that you guys, who opted for these Procar “Pro90” seats, did an excellent choice: more comfortable seats and original looking at the same time, like squaring the circle, congrats!

Mine is a 1980 and it was an easy swap. They sell an adapter that bolts right into the existing floor holes and the seats brackets bolt into it. 8 bolts total per seat.In respect to these Procar “Pro90” seats: was it a bolt on swap in your early model Cruisers?

I can’t say for an earlier model, but I’d suspect it’s the same story, just a different adapter.

I installed a pair of these into my 1980 FJ40 and was happy with the results, but I wouldn't say they were "bolt on". I bought the adapters for late 40's, and they were poorly made and required some adjustment. Also, to get the lowest of the three seat height settings, I had to saw the seat brackets off on all four corners. Even on the lowest setting, you still sit and inch or two higher than stock.

agree with above - I bought the adapters but I had to bend them into position with copious bar clamps.
