Nice! I've had zero luck finding someone to redo my leather. Who makes those and are the specific to the Landcruiser or have to be git
 
scheel mann make the seats. they’re a german company who really owns the sprinter market. i used planted brackets up front and i’ll have to have a custom mount made for the rear.
 
photo angles kinda misleading. seats not really any further forward than factory.

seats are literally just sitting in rear. i’ll have a mount made that moves them apart and angled back a hair as well as back about an inch. which will get rear passengers as much if not a hair more room.

also nfg about rear seat leg room. my wife is 5’ tall and she always jumps in the back when we go out with friends if that ever happens again

This looks great. I am not really tall (5' 9") but still feel like I am sitting on top of the cruiser, instead of being in it.

Will the rear seats have fore and aft movement too? Can they be mounted a little higher?

fronts are lower than factory so you definitely sit down in it

i haven’t quite decided how the rears will be mounted. sliders are easy and only add minimal height but there’s not enough room to necessitate using them.

Looks awesome! Any update on the rear seat mounts?

I just installed a set of Vario F XXL's in the front of my FJ62 and would love to add a pair of Vario F's (not XXL) in place of the rear bench seat. Was thinking of reaching out to Planted about some custom brackets.

Cheers,

Ron
 
Are those full size rear seats or the smaller ones?
 
This looks awesome!! A year later how do you like this? Who made the brackets for the rear seats? This mod seems like it would really modernize the interior.

sorry i sold the truck to a friend on the east coast but the seats are the best, i’ve had recaros, corbeaus, and these and they’re my favorite.

my friend made the frames custom for me. mounts to factory locations and seats bolted to it.

rears are the shorter varios, and fronts taller

I’ve got the truck now and no anchors for child seats. We’ve got a Britax seat and it’s a huge upgrade in terms of safety and simplicity over the previous target/Walmart variety child seats.
The britax also fits nicely within the bottom cushion of the scheelman and not on the bolsters.
 
Do you lose side-impact airbags with these?
