G'Day All

I'm thinking of buying a troopie as are first 4wd to do the big tour of this Great Country.

Could anyone reccommend what seats i could put in it or do with them to make a trip more comfy.

All the best

Best value comfortable seats IMO would be those from a grey import wreckers.

Agree with BT.
Otherwise,Recaro,Saas etc will cost you half of the value of the troopy ;D

I have fitted a set of EA ford Falcon seats to my fj-45, made a world of difference only cost $70 from a wreckers, the import seats hold ya a little more, but will cost a little more aswell.

You've lost me baby_tropie what does IMO stand for,and will these seats fit straight in or do i have to modify them or the fittings in anyway.

IMO means In My Opinion

As for will they fit straight in, depends on the seats. Some seats (eg mine in Import Prado 70 series) will go very close to a straight bolt in & you will probably not need to get it engineered.
Others will need some mods to the mounting & will need engineer cert.
