There's nothing better than customizing your vehicle to gain superior comfort, let alone added safety,, and then enjoy the outcome knowing
that you have done it all yourself.
The original seating arrangement in most Landcruiser utes is a factory drivers bucket plus a 3/4 seat on the passenger side.
They are pretty good for the average work ute, but not so great for the long trips when they arise.

So,,,,, I ripped em out and replaced them with both Driver and Passenger side luxury leather buckets.
These seats also have fold down and fully adjustable armrests on the door side of each seat. (not noticeable in pics when folded up)

A while back now I decided I also wanted a center floor console,,,,, but discovered that they only make them for dual cab utes.

Undeterred, I bought one to suit a dual cab model, and then set about cutting, reshaping, and re upholstering it to fit the single cab floor profile.

Here are some pics of the finished project.
