Landtank Seat Extension bracket install video

[ironbinder]

I made this youTube video of my 1st Landtank seat bracket install.
It was a lot of work, but worth it. If I was doing it again it would go faster.
Thanks to LandTank and all the work that went into the design and build of this bracket.
It does make you sit a bit higher, and the seat leans back a little bit. I personally like to sit back up straight and seat flat most of the time , but I was able to compensate by adjusting the seat as much a possible to make up for the difference. I'm 5'-11' tall. A taller person is REALLY going to like this bracket set up.
I also did the Gamitivi gears and white cap for the gear drive in the electric seats.
The Landtank bracket is only for the leather electric seats, not applicable for the fabric seats.

@ironbinder
Having done this before, I liked your video. It will be helpful to others attempting to do the same.
Merry Christmas

It's not your bracket, the bracket is good, great design. It is just the way Toyota made the seat in the first place. It's not that good of a seat.

For those that have done this mod. Have i bent these rails removing them or are they not straight by design? Thanks for replying

 

[Willy beamin]

They flair out towards the ends instead of being flat / straight against each other when i hold them flush against one another @NLXTACY @landtank

 

[Willy beamin]

anybody know the answer?

 

[landtank]

I've never noticed that with these rails but also haven't looked for it. Unless you really beat the hell out of them sliding them out that would have to be how they were. Otherwise I can't imagine how they got bent.

Here it the control side rail on the flat table. The end where the foot is taken off curves upward.

 

[Willy beamin]

One would think the rails should be flat as is the track they slide in. Doesnt really show itself until the both bearings are in. I have no
Problem getting the front or rear bearing in by themselves. Try to put both in as it should be and it jams up. Cleaned all the parts and sanded the tracks a bit. Still no smooth slide.

 

[Willy beamin]

Think this is time for heat and manipulation to straighten?

 

[landtank]

I'd like to think that I'd notice something like that. I'd put the rail on a flat surface and place a piece of bar stock inside the rail and try to hammer it flat. But I get nervous when there is a torch in my hand.

Thank you
