FJ40 stock seats

[FJGuy]

Looking for a set for my 73 FJ40. Anyone have some?

I assume you mean the front seats? Pappy can tell you what he used in his 40. No offense, but unless you really want to keep the seats stock, I would think you could do a lot better than the originals. It seems that Pappy used the bucket seats from a Celica and they're very nice.

If you're looking for the back jump seats, I think those can be hard to find. I'm not a 40 guy, so I'm sure there are others that know more about this topic than me.

Source3 on here just pulled out his front seats, so it worth asking him what his plan are with them.

I have a set of stock back jump seats from my 1980 in good to excellent original condition that I no longer need if the OP or anyone else needs them.

I am interested - are they the short or long seats?

Short. They're here at my place in Texas but I could bring them next time I'm there if you're not in a tearing hurry for them.

No hurry - what condition are they in - PM me for price

Thanks!

I will charge my camera batteries and take some photos for you, but they were in quite good condition when I removed them. I have no idea what these things go for but I'm more interested in helping a fellow HDC / mudder with something I don't need any more than trying to retire from a single sale.

FWIW, one of the best mods I did to my old 40 was to dump the stock seats and put in some racing buckets. Boneyard seats work well too - I think O'Niell used some from a Civic and they were really comfy. Or keep the buckets you have unless they have big issues.

1991 Celica.

The seats in there are shot. They need foam and a recover. I think the front part of the cage was homebuilt and egronomics didn't really play into building that part of it (either that or there is a huge size difference between myself and the fabricator. I am not saying I won't go back to buckets at some point, just for now, stock is easier to get back to while I work on the little stuff. Besides, I got a great deal on the factory seats, which if I decide to get rid of, I could nearly give away and come out on top.
