Great idea 💡 your a legend mate doing mine today cheers isn't it amazing y didn't Toyota do this mmm they put things in the to hard basket really mate you should work for Toyota lol
The seats are bolted together separately from that bottom bracket. When those 12mm bolts are undone, the seat back and bottom are still attached, so you remove it as one whole piece. Also the back rest is still hooked into place (hence leaving the 42mm) and will only lift up and out of bracings when the bottom seat is raised.
@@mathyland5373 I’ll keep trying but iv given all that a try and it seems they’re cut too short on my ute they are bang on 42mm. I tried nudging the square things up but they were then to far back (like to hard up against the rear wall) for the latches to grab
@@AlexC148 yea for what ever reason our seats I think must be slightly different, my seats are black from original not the grey like most others. What are ur seats?
Read all the comments. Do not do this . There is a lot that he doesn't explain or show in the video that you need to see or know before doing this. I don't think he's put the bolts back in on the seat back is one for a start.
The bolts are in place but later models do not hinge at the bottom of the rear seat. Your seat must have a hinge at the bottom. Mine does not. 2017 Revo model. Also a different type of catch.
Excellent work mate. We need that back bit for storage of items for the zombie apocalypse.
Always wanted to have my back seat to fold down. Search hinge kits etc. Then stumbled across this. Excellent.
Good shit mate, mine was noisy as so I chucked some tape on the steel hooks and that fixed it, should have done this while I was at it!
Excellent! Exactly what I was looking for
Hello all, I’ve done mine and for my 2014 sr5 the measurement I left is 45mm
Thanks Matt I can clean my water bladder easier now.
The Best! Thanks for the measurements. just got my new truck
Thanks mate works a treat
This can't be safe if you have a crash?
Mate that was very usefull I’ll do this too thanks heaps!
Thank you very much
Great idea 💡 your a legend mate doing mine today cheers isn't it amazing y didn't Toyota do this mmm they put things in the to hard basket really mate you should work for Toyota lol
If he work for Toyota he might become just like them. He's better off on his own.
Great tip
Staight to the garage!!
Good one brother
Do you tighten the bolts back up afterwards?
Yes
Ripper vid mate cheers 🍻
Hey mate how would u anchor up a kids seat behind the driver .. I'm having so much trouble
The hook point I believe is up, over and underneath. Hope this helps
You’re a fkn legend mate cheers
Thanks for your video
can i fit my slim line dual battery set up in there
Anyone can share how big is the room between wall and back seat? Can i fit 150mm batteries or have to get slim battery
No 120 mm max
Lithium slimline batteriers fit in there
Is there a hack to turn headlights off when turn engine off. But don't leave the vehicle
A competent auto sparky could make that happen.
so how does the seat stop from lurching forward when you slam the brakes on?
The seats are bolted together separately from that bottom bracket. When those 12mm bolts are undone, the seat back and bottom are still attached, so you remove it as one whole piece.

@@NitrosDen thanks nitro. yep got it a little while after watching this.
I pull the strap at the bottom and nothing moves ,,,any ideas ?
Read owner manual. Maybe different model? Seat should lift up when you pull.
Legend!
Do you have to do this on both sides
Yes
sorry forgot tay its ahilux 2010
I just did my 2012 Hilux to 42mm and no matter how hard i try, i cant get to lock in while in sitting position.
Move the bottom seat section up and down. Lock backrest when at its highest point. Otherwise tap rear panel square loops down with hammer.

-HCL- I have this same issue mate. Mine doesn’t lock in place now after this.
None of the forums mention this issue..

-HCL- mine are black too.
2009 SR5
Have you done anything with yours yet to try fix it?
Is that where my missing tools are?
You told me you’d drop by for a beer and collect them. 😜

it's appears that it's for a specific model as well.
