TOO BIG

As long as the new mounts conform to the relevent ADR's no problem at all.

Have a sit in a Patrol the ones in the GU have mobs of travell.

Not that it is a favourite of mine but I sat in a Mitsubishi Triton recently, '95/96 model, I think, and it had amazing legroom, as good as my Commodore. I am of large frame and 6'3" Also sat in a NIssan GQ with ggod legroom and a GU Ute with good legroom.

Always going somewhere

well I just finished fitting AU 3 Futura seats , to my 80 series . All I can say is , pay someone else to do it . It has taken 3 days to desighn and make the new brackets ect . To do what you , want is hard also , due to the way the rails are made , you may want to visit recaro to have castom made brackets . I was lucky to have access to a very well equiped engineering shop and still struggled . I am happy with the result , but it was a nightmare to figure out . I would be more than happy to email a photo of the brackets if you need them to get a idea Venus Bay

Steve, I have the same problems as you being a 6'4" long legged fellow, yes big frame. Agree with Willem in regard to the GU which I have but remove the footrest and like to get my feet under the pedals too with cruise control going for the leg room part of things. Many of the trucks seem to be built for ducks or their cousins.

I have not got as far as aftermarket seats yet but i do look at them and find there may only be a very small amount of extra room if any. GU seats are not so thick they don't compete that way fairly well, and comfortable too, even a Landcruiser owner told me. Greater creature comfort than his ute.
