Rear bench seat mod

Post by rangerboy1983 »

Hi

New to the forum.

Was wondering if anyone has ever tried/ succeeded in swopping out the rear bench seat for 2 bucket seats in a hilux DC (pre-2016)

Thanks chaps (and ladies)

In theory it is possible, but you are going to have to find quite short seats as the base under the rear seat is quite high. You're also going to have to make up custom brackets for the seats to use the existing bolt holes, or drill holes and weld in captive nuts or similar.
Happy trails
