    Falcon xr seats into gq

    Well as the title says I've installed a set of ba/bf xr front bucket seats to my gq so here's abit of a write up on how to do it.


    First off all get the xr seats and remove the original rails these are not needed.

    Then remove the seats from the gq and remove the rails from seats I put the rails back in so I could work out the hights of the rails.

    The outer rail needs to be raised 25mm I used abit of shs



    Then notch the shs to suit the rail and drill holes to Match




    Then drill a hole in the original bracket to suit the xr seat



    Then you need to modify the inner rail as its about 50mm to short I just made a plate to fit the full length of rail



    Then I attached the plate through the original real hole and drilled a new one to suit in the plate then you have all the holes were u need them for new seats.


    Then we come to the seats them selfs when I put them in they were touching the pillar you could modify the rails to move over about 30mm but I did something different I swapped the seats around so iam using the passanger side for drivers and so on then you have enough room for all the adjusters of the seats

    To make the seats look right remove the plastic panels and swap them around


    Then drill this one out 30mm so the adjuster fits



    Than bolt the seat down and ur done





    I still haven't done the passanger side but should be simaller to the drivers but ill post some pics if any things different

    Enjoy the comfort

    Nice work.

    Was the finished sitting position at a similar height to the original seats?

    Awesome job mate, it's a mod I want to do eventually. I reckon they are so much nicer than the Commodore seats. There is another write up by member Great Southern Camping of the same install.

    The seats look good. in NSW, do you need to get the vehicle checked for the mod? I'm interested to find out how the seats feel on rough terrain.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Certainly do mate, I don't think any state in Australia allows you to change from standard seats without getting it certified by an authorised certifier.

    Legally if you pull your rear seats out it needs to be inspected!
    Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time
