front seat swap? (1 Viewer)

[TexFJ]

Anyone try a simple temp fix for the seat cushion crush, swapping left and right seat cushions? I would think that it would hold the foam replacement off for sometime.

Could the rails be only swapped from seat bottom or would I have to do the invasive seat cushion install?

Many have done it. Lots of threads on it. Works fine.

FJ60/62 seats are about as interchangeable as any seats ever made. Even the 'seat cushion swap' isn't very invasive. A handful of hog rings and pliers, and you are on your way.

In 60/62s, this should be done every 30K miles

Sometimes I feel like the seats aren't completely level. Hope it's the foam.

Or go to a good doctor and make sure that everything is in alignment "down there".

Course, OME doesn't make spring packs for our buttocks.....yet.

I bolted a whole passengers side seat in on my drivers side. Can't tell at all, only difference is the reclining lever is on the right side.

Made an appointment with the doctor but first I went ahead and started to take things apart ( on the Land Cruiser )

I was hoping to keep the cover, foam, and springs together for the swap however I wasn't so lucky. As @YooperCruiser mentioned, the reclining lever mechanism is attached to the seat frame. So I went ahead and switched the foams. Tried to add extra foam in the needed area, hopefully it stays in place and doesn't create an annoying bump.

You could also take a look at the seat back frame. It's very common for them to split at the bottom, making the seat back twisted. Here's a picture of mine right after I had it welded. I had 2 trucks for a bit as I'm doing a drivetrain swap, and both drivers seat backs were the same.
