I bought a set of recaros for mine.Look on ebay under recaro seats and heaps come up.Look up your local recaro dealer and get the seat bases for the navara.$220.00 each

if you think the factory bucket seats are bad spare a thought for those of us with the factory bench seat!!!!.
Replacing it has been on my wish list ever since i purchased the ute

 

[AJZ987]

yeah u have a point the bench seat would be uncomfortable, and to scotty cheers mate i think i will go down that path with the recaros onle because i drive it every day and its always long trips.

I feel your pain Camo!

The D22 bench seat would be THE most uncomfortable seat of any vehicle I have ever owned!

I think the 2000 Hilux Workmate bench seat would give it a damn fine run for it's money

im just gunna get 2 bucket seats from repco there fuking comfortable they look good and there 200 dollars...problem solved

 

[gshannon]

Let us know how you go with fitting them, pic etc as I am keen to do this also

 

[AJZ987]

im sure repco will be able to get you some adapter brackets so the seats bolt straight into the navara.

You have to be carefull and make sure that they are adr rated for insurance purposes and you will have to get an engineers certificate.I know my neighbour didn't get insurance for his patrol because of the seats and his lift kit.

I seem to remember someone on here about 6 months ago wanting to go the other way, they had buckets and wanted to go a bench. Not sure what model it was or who it was but maybe someone else does.

Hey All, First post. Great info in this forum!

The 2009 D22 front seats are crap for long distance sooo...

I've been looking in to a clean seat swap here in VIC and I was thinking of a 2009 PAthy or D40 swap.

Has anyone done this? Or can you recommend another seat that is a clean swap out?

Cheers

Ben

Scott has a D40 front seat in his D22.

R50 Pathfinder seats might bolt up to your runners.

Maybe Xtrail, Maxima seats would be nice.

Hi Dave,

Oh sweet, now to ass test some seats.

So from what I've read, so long as it's the same year and uses the existing rails you don't need an engineers cert yeah?

Check your states laws.

All states are pretty much different with modifications.
