Seat Change Over in 100 Series

Article Overview - Aftermarket Seats
Unfortunately, car manufacturers don't always expect us to actually take our vehicles offroad - so when it comes to fitting out your vehicle for a major trip you replace your suspension to improve the ride so ... why not replace your seats? View Full Article...

Can the rear seats in a Standard 100 Series be changed for ones from a GXL.
As the Standard seats are a single bench with centre lap seat belt and the GXL has 60/30 split bench with centre Lap Sash seat belt.

Cheers Kev

Kev,

I will be watching replies on this as well, so I can't specifically help. I did however change the front seats in the pov pack, which are bucket and 1 3/4 passenger seat to GXL seats from a wrecker and they fitted perfectly without modification. I then filled the gap between the seats with an aftermarket console..worked out well.

I would imagine the captive nuts would be the same?

Cheers,

Mark

Mark,

I already intend to do the front seats as well and will probably end up getting Stratos suspension seats.

But I am thinking about getting a poverty pack and giving it to Al & Mrs Al to do the chop into a Dual Cab, but SWMBO wants the GXL seats.

Cheers Kev

Hi Kev

just asked Al this question, he said you can, he said you need to "weld in a captive nut and modify an area of approx 100mm X 300mm of floor space, then everything else botls in"

He also added that you may require an engineer to check it .

If you want to chat to him, I think I gave him your number the other day.

Lyn,

Between you and Al, you are a wealth of information. What times are the best to call him?? Is he still in Perth ATM as I'll have to allow for the time difference.

Thanks Kev
