what is the difference in LX450 seats and fj80 seats?

@FloridaFJ80 Have you installed non-pleated covers over the foams designed for pleats? How does it look? I would prefer no pleats, but I have pleats now and I don't want to replace all my foams as they are in good shape.

Yes guys the seat bottom cushion is different on the LX and the LC. The LX foam is made for the no pleat covers see pictures and the LC one is made for the pleat covers. The seat in itself is the same only thing that changes is the cushion. you can ultimately put a LC foam into a LX frame and vice versa and it will work just fine.

@allan man PS side is discontinued you can still get DS ones.

Resurrecting this thread because I need new foam for my LX450 DS bottom and the part is now discontinued. There are plenty of LC bottom foams around but the LX foam is impossible to find. Will the land cruiser foam work with the LX style leather seats?

different leather and foam...

have to get the foam from lexus, $$$, decided to run without (would have about cost the same as the leather kit i bought) when i re-did my front sea

Foam is the same, different leather.

Foam is different, I order the lx foam and it was not available. I used the landcruiser foam for the seat bootms and added foam to fill in the areas the landcruiser was lacking.

yes but you will need to add some foam to fill in the areas the landcruiser is missing foam. easy to do the the lx leather will fit.

Kind of unclear in what you state. Are you saying the foam from an fj80 has areas where you need to add foam to make it work for an LX450?

its foam in the middle on the bottom panel wish I had pics but I don't. this was sent to me by landcruiser heaven.I originally ordered the seat bottoms for the lx,but the sold out sent me the bottom foam for the land cruiser. We just put the foam in the center area like the lx450 had
