Yup, you chaps. The color looks great on that center console.
Cool! That is our standard tan powdercoat color. It matches the 95+ tan seats and door trim leather almost perfectly. It’s more like an “accent” color for the 91-94 brown. Pic here:

I suppose I could - hadn’t thought of that! In all reality, the center console lid is so close on the passenger side that it works fine as the arm rest. I’ve got another project that will use the upholstery shop. If I go forward with that, I’ll probably tack on the arm rest. It really only needs a half inch removed (if that).
I thought it would be very close. I have the same seats and for symmetry I wanted the passenger arm rest too. The center console is a close match, but an armrest for the passenger would be perfect. I just didn't want to spend all the extra money to experiment. Hahah. Was surprised when I saw your picture.
Being 6'3" or even taller in my case, completely depends on your leg to torso ratio AND your subjective needs of comfort.
A good build certainly has an order of priority!! You'll come back to the seats once you finish the other modsI was really drawn to this - because of my height and how low/far back these appear to sit. But good grief, a pair of these cost more than I initially paid for my Cruiser. Granted, I have dumped a ton of money into the rig at this point, but I just can't see spending the same amount on two seats as I am going to for gears and lockers for this rig. I will continue looking for other transplant or aftermarket options that can get the seat down like this.
This world was built for short people.
As @NorCalFJ100 mentioned, it's not about height, it's about proportions. I am 5'10" and got the NON xxl seat. After finding out the XXL is 3" taller, I had my business partner (he's 6'0 or 6'1) sit in it thinking an XXL would be better for him. His shoulders are actually right at the top of the seat back, while my shoulders are almost exactly 3" above the top of the seat back. I am now referred to as "the hobbitses" since I apparently have short legs and long torso.
This is me -- 5'10", short legs and long torso. I have a different aftermarket seat, but agree that the proportions make all of the difference in how the seats fit and feel. I have sat in mine for 14+ hours (less gas breaks every few hours) and felt perfect, while others want to jump out after an hour.
Similar stats for me and the lady. I have sat in these seats for two back to back 10 hour days of driving and felt perfectly fine!!! These seats are amazing.
I’ll keep my eyes open, will try to find one to test. Don’t drive more than 30 min/day right now anyway. When my boys get a little older (1,3 currently) and I’m ready for some longer road trips, etc I may just have to ship it out to y’all for seats/other goodies then fly out for a cross country trip!
Did you get your heated seats wired up? I just purchased the Vario XXLs and the factory Toyota vertical switches. Was wondering if you used the relays and fuses from the Scheel Mann wiring kit?
