What is the best seats for a Hilux??

Post by grepin »

I want to put some better seats in the Hilux without spending big bucks on new aftermarket ones.
What is the best seats for ease of fittment to a 89 Hilux. Something obtainable from a wrecker.
I did a search as I thought I read something about Surf stuff but couldnt find it again.

Thanks

WRX ones in mine :D
Had to cut the original rails off and weld them onto the new seats.
Kind Regards,

i have skyline r32 seats in my 86 4runner. 3 of the bolts line straight up, only one bolt needs an extender made up which is a piece of piss.

Du AU or VS seats fit in, or do the rails need to be changed?

ryzzy, for your r32 seats, what do you mean by extenders? Got a pic by any chance?

SR5 4runner or Surf seats are the most comfy, and DONT require engineering like another manufacturers would.

I paid $150 for my front two! :D

Surf seats it is, although Im a bit scared of what Sydney wreckers would want. I saw a pair of Recaro's in a Surf, dont know if they were standard trim or aftermarket.

Most want around $400 (when i was looking) have a good look around, if you can find someone wrecking one you would get them cheaper.

I put monza ones in mine, are comfortable and only cost $250 for the pair on special from repco ;)

recaros are standard in a few surfs.

also, many lexus seats bolt in... just think, leather, fully adjustable everything, possibly heated if you pick the right ones.... :D

How do they go width wise in the small cab? The leather buckets in the AU2 XR8 I had are still the most comfortable car seats I've ever sat in....

Looked at some AU seats today and both mounting points on them are flat inline with the rail . No L shape like the lux
