Seats for Landcruiser

Bundy spend a day going to wreckers and sit on them until you find one that suits and modify or have someone modify runners to fit them in. There are some very god and comfortable seats around.

B&C,

Volvo seats fit very easily. Otherwise go to Seats are Us at Rocklea,1/1620 Ipswich Rd. Ph 32744139. I just had some work done and they are very good and reasonable.

I have a 2000yr, LC 79 series trayback and fitted a pair of '98 Range Rover all electric(complications), all leather, very comfortable seats with minimum mods to the seat frame. Paid $600 the pair from a RR wrecker in Melbourne. Mods & installation cost another $300. I am happy with the result and have freed up some dead space between the seats.

Bundayand coke,
We bought seats from a wrecker (from a Honda Prelude can you believe) to refit the seats in a 94 Troopy. Seats costs $150 each plus $100 (?memory is hazy) for the engineers certificate.

We now drive a 97 GXL Landcruiser, but had the seats replaced in these with Paratus ParaRallys - as they are a similar seat-type to the Honda ones we were used to - more like a racing seat with bolsters on the side to hold you in place, adjustable lumbar supports and air pump thingy. They are a much stronger seat than the ones from the wrecker which collapsed/sagged after a 2 yr around Oz trip. These have been in the car for 4 years now and done tons of long haul desert, rough trips.

Only problem now, is that the vehicle has a lift kit, I am 5 foot 2' and 9 mths pregnant so I can't get in/out of the car comfortably - ha ha LOL just a short term problem but a story just to illustrate that in hindsight, we probably should have chosen a seat without the bolsters on the side. Paratus actually is an advertiser on this site - use the Business Search menu and type in SEATS in the keyword search to find them for info on pricing, models etc.

Hope this helps

Paratus seats are very good, made in Oz (in Geelong) and available at lots of places around this country. I have sat and driven in them and they are very very confortable. I have also heard of Nissan 240z/260z seats being used but they sagged like Michelle.

Put some 80# cruiser seats in, I think they are one of the better ones

if you want quality (at a price) then you can choose between stratos, paratus (from arb) or recaro.

best to sit in them and then decide, but I beleive stratos are available in variable widths to suit the individual rear that will occupy it :)

opposite lock should have stratos on display, arb will have paratus

Having them reupholstered is a cheaper alternative.Costs about 150-200 per seat.
They can put new foam and springs in if needed and takes a day.

I have a pair of Paraus seat in my 75 Series and find the build and ride quality to be excellent
