I picked these seats in particular because of several features (I used to have a 02 TT) they are very supportive, they are all manual-no electric motors, fairly light, and have seat height adjustment using a gas strut. Of course the tracks don't line up with the FJ bolt holes, I made some simple brackets from angle iron...

Hopefully these images aren't too dark and you can tell whats what...

This is the outer front bracket on drivers seat,


Outer front bracket on the passenger seat.. (the inner front brackets are basically identical to the outers...)



The rear bracket is a little different, instead of a simple L tab like the front, it runs all the way across the back of the seat...



Just a piece of angle iron with a tab welded on the top at each end for the seat track to bolt to... the notch you see cut out of the center of the bracket is where the height adjust shock under the seat was hitting the bracket when you slide the seat back...
