Not a cruiser but I picked up another set of 2011 VW Golf seats (same as the ones I used in my 80) and installed them into my sons minitruck. The ones I put in the 80 are leather, these are cloth. But both seats are heated with power recline (although the recline is useless in the reg cab minitruck. I've been really happy with these VW seats. Very comfortable and supportive, and not terrible to make work. Not sure if a Planted bracket will work with them or not but I would guess it would. I built custom brackets for both sets.

Any OCD issues with seats not matching the interior colors? Mine would go through the roof.

No OCD here. Besides there's black on the dash. I'm also replacing the carpet with black carpet and recovering the second row with black leather to match as well. Slowly redoing the entire interior so no biggie.

Anyone know If the Lexus RX series would fit?

I went to the U pull n pay and found some seats in a Disco II, '06 LR3 and a '99 RR HSE. These are Land Rover vehicles and all seats have arm rests. What caught my eye is that the LR and HSE seats have integrated seat controls on the side, just like our seats. My test seating impression is that the Disco II seats are firmer and feel a little more supportive than the other two. The HSE and LR3 seats feel more "supple", maybe? It's hard to describe it but I'd probably be fine with any of these seats.
I need to refresh my memory but has anyone installed either a LR3 or a HSE RR seats into their 80?

I just put some WRX seats in my 96’ LX a few months back.
On the highway today, I went to use my cruise control, and it blinked a few times then the “cruise” went away. Obviously it did not work
Is this related to not having the drivers seat hooked up?
Thanks!!!

Don't think so. I put '07 Accord seats in my 80 several years ago and only used the power wire to operate the seats. Cruise and everything else works great.
Thanks @FastCarGuy. I’ll have to fix it now. And searching....

Did you also add LED tail lights? I had the same scenario after adding LED tail lights.

I pulled a pair of 2002 Disco II seats then saw a 2006 LR3 seats that I liked better. Seat controls switch is on the side of the seat on the LR3, like our 80s and the leather *seemed* a little more supple.
Has anyone swapped in a set of LR3 seats into their 80?

Seats from a ‘06 Toyota Solara. Perfect color match. The drivers seat is fully adjustable, passenger side is manual.
loves them!!! 
Also installed a steering wheel out of a Toyota Matrix. I don’t think i’ll be able to hookup the air bag though. But hey, myFJ60 never had one to begin with!
Nice to keep it all Toyota
Apologies if this has been covered, but do the planted brackets work with a rear heater?
