Hilux Rear Seat Hack 

If he work for Toyota he might become just like them. He's better off on his own.

The hook point I believe is up, over and underneath. Hope this helps

Yes

A competent auto sparky could make that happen.

No 120 mm max

Lithium slimline batteriers fit in there

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.

@@NitrosDen thanks nitro. yep got it a little while after watching this.

Read owner manual. Maybe different model? Seat should lift up when you pull.

Yes

Move the bottom seat section up and down. Lock backrest when at its highest point. Otherwise tap rear panel square loops down with hammer.

@@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

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

@@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?

-HCL- mine are black too. 2009 SR5 Have you done anything with yours yet to try fix it?

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

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.

@@stevendegnian1248 yeah this is for hilux 2005-2015 worked fine on my 2014

You told me you’d drop by for a beer and collect them. 😜
