what seats can I put in my Landcruiser

[etarasoff]

What dealer did you purchase the Recaro seats from. Thanks.

These seats are probably 25 years old. New old stock, stored for years. Picked them up on EBay.

The Recaro Expert M model is pretty close to these and a good buy.

 

[voorland80]

Those are definitely Recaros based on the power seat controls on the seat bolsters. They look like vintage Classic C's or something in that family.

@etarasoff is correct. Those are Recaro C's. Almost went with those for a project, ended up going with Scheel-Mann.

Has anyone tried to dye aftermarket leather seats to match that of the interior colour?

I just found these from a Toyota solara, they are gray, powered and have lumbar support.
Will update once installed in case someone likes them.

I've seen a billion of these threads so far. You'd think someone savvy would be prefabbing some common seat bracket converters to cash in on our desperateness and lack of lumbar support!

@half k cruiser how did you mount the WRX seats?

Check out the link that was posted up there, how to install wrx seats sort of

This is from a 90 Vette. Pretty similar design and comfy too.

The better question to ask is which aftermarket seat is the most comfortable for both long road trips and wheeling.

And...?

I picked up a pair of grey leather e46 BMW seats and plan to make brackets similar to these:

Here you go, seat bracket adapters: Toyota Landcruiser FJ80 90-97 Seat Brackets

 

[Diggs84]

@jaymar NOW WE'RE TALKING. Has anyone actually used these?

 

[Gunsmoke76]

I just ordered the Wedge bracket with double locking slider for the FJ80 and a SCAT Elite 80-1100-52 from eBAY. Both front seats have seat covers on them now, but the driver is in much worse condition. I just chose to camouflage the new gray vinyl seat with the current seat cover, and no one will be able to tell the difference. The stock seat is so worn, my left cheek rides at least an inch lower than my right, and it's throwing my rear and back all outta wack... I'll let you know if the ~$500 upgrade is successful/worth it.

Corbeau makes them as well, slightly less expensive for the double slider option. I think that's the route I'll go. Corbeau Seat Mounts & Adapters for Toyotas

What seats are you going with @tacosupreme?

I like the Porsche boxster seats that I put in, but they are made for someone with a less wide a$$ than mine. The seats that @half k cruiser put in have real big bottom bolsters that you have to hop over. He is a skinny man, so fit him, but would bother me. The second set I put in was from a Toyota Celica GTS. I like those a lot, but there really is not much padding on them. When I put in the seat heaters, I will add a little foam.
I Just bought a set for my son's 80 from a 2 door Honda. They are really comfortable, both back and bottom. Excited to see how those fit.

Different seat opinion/options?


Manual seat swap

 

[2fpower]

Here are the Celica seats.

and this is the Honda seats I just picked up. Both sets were $30 per set at pick n pull.

That is more accurate. i was trying to not call myself fat, but it is what it is. Wide load, coming through.
