The Land Cruiser Gets NEW SEATS, Tailgate Storage, and More Interior Upgrades!
Today we're upgrading the Land Cruiser 80 with brand new Corbeau Sport seats, modifying the tailgate and installing a tailgate storage system/panel which will give us a nice hidden storage compartment, refreshing the old cracked steering wheel with a nice new leather cover, and some other interior modifications! These interior mods have made my 1993 Land Cruiser 80 series feel more modern and much more fun to drive!

If those seat brackets are for your LandCruiser specifically, I would have returned it all, and everyone should also. This would force their hand to fix the QC issue. That's unacceptable.
Congrats on the success with your last video and the channel overall.
Loving the interior upgrades. Shop is coming along!
I’m buying an fzj80 next weeked, super stoked but I wanted to say that your videos are really informative and I will definitely be following you and your build! Keep up the great content!
That tailgate storage is probably one of the best mods ever. I think solvefunction has a strut mod that you can do also to have a slow opening hatch. Really helps with the weight.
First, the tailgate door does look better with the galvanized metal trim around the edges of the opening, and evens out the waffle edge of the factory tailgate. The steering wheel cover made me smile. I remember back in the 70's installing genuine simulated leather steering wheel covers on several of our cars. They stretched over the wheel like your did, but didn't require a needle to sew it up. The ones we could buy had a sorta plastic "thread" that was similar in color to the cover we were installing. Hey, for $2.99, how could you ask for more. 😅
Everything is looking so good man! I now wish I ordered that seat instead of reupholstering mine. Hopefully it won't be too tedious.
i had the same issues with my brackets for my 1989 Toyota pickup....i even made sure i called and gave all my measurments over the phone because i heard everyone had fitment issues. Great job on all the videos! always enjoy them.
for the brackets, I think you can just pull the tab towards the back or hammered down and pushed in and should have been ok. I did a friend's of mine fj and about to do mine. didn't have to cut or expand the holes
I put a center console from a 2001 Chevy Tahoe in my LX450. 2 cup holders front & rear, tons of storage & 12v outlet in the back. It took some tweaking, and the 2nd row of seats don't fold over all the way anymore..... but I absolutely needed the upgrade!
Nic How to..and the Nice shop!
I love this project!
I got the Planted seat brackets and they fit perfect, didn't have to modify anything
Great work
Nice upgrades mate. I loo foward to to what you do i the shop.
Thanks for posting about the seat brackets, I have been going back and forth between them and the planted brackets. Looks like I am going planted. My question is it looks like you’re still pretty close to the wheel, have you looked into the 4” extension they offer to move the seat back?
Another good Video, great neutral color choice, very clean. curious why you didn't just cut the bolt tabs off the seat brackets and just re-weld correctly measured tabs (common issue w/ alot of after market seat brackets). still I love the quality and effort your putting into this, Its a different type of restore when you have a love for the vehicle your doing. Instead of just View's, and it shows can hear it (the excitement)when your talking about the next steps... keep it goin
Your solution for the seat bracket was to take the thing out and cut that tab off to make a new tab that fits over the hole, especially since you know how to weld.
Where is the tailgate access panel from? I would like to get one for my Tacoma.
Hi ! Nice video, I really enjoyed it. What’s the 3M scotch that you used between your Amazon panel please ? I am looking for it. Thanks
