Important Note

The right seat mount (US passenger side) requires removing the factory rear heater and blower assembly. That unit takes up nearly all the space the storage compartment would otherwise use, and once it's removed, it's removed, this isn't a small detail to skim past. If you still rely on that rear heat, use the standard universal mount instead, no removal required. So far we haven't seen a right-hand drive 80 Series with the factory rear heater, so RHD owners shouldn't have this unit to remove. If yours has one, contact us before ordering.

Left-hand or right-hand drive? Sides are named by where the seat sits, viewed from inside the truck. In a US (left-hand drive) truck the driver sits on the left. In Japanese and Australian right-hand drive trucks the driver sits on the right, so the left seat mount is your passenger seat.

Early 80 Series Owners (FJ80) This listing covers the early FJ80 now that we've verified fitment. Power seats were never offered on the FJ80, so you don't need the floor harness extension.

The bigger difference is the seat belt buckle. On the FJ80, both front buckles bolt to the floor between the seats on extended stalks, the same as the 60 and 62 Series. On the FZJ80, each buckle is attached to its seat and moves with it. Our mount is built around the FZJ80 setup, so the buckle slides forward and back with the seat.

Our recommended setup: convert to FZJ80 seat belt buckles. Used ones are easy to find on eBay. With the buckle riding on the seat, it stays in the same place relative to you wherever you set the seat. That's more secure and more comfortable than reaching for a fixed floor buckle.

Want to keep your factory floor buckle? You can, but don't just leave out our seatbelt bracket and its spacer. Without them, the seat sits 3/16" lower and the cushion presses against the side plate. Contact us when you order and we'll send two spacers to take the bracket's place. Both are required for correct fit.

Description

scheel-mann Vario F / Vario F XXL, heated and Klima compatible.

A complete, vehicle specific way to put a scheel-mann seat in your 80 Series, done right the first time. This package pairs a premium scheel-mann orthopedic seat with the Tolerance Stack mounting system, built specifically for this platform rather than adapted from a universal bracket.

The mount itself is one rigid, boxed structure rather than a flat plate with unbraced legs, so it stays put off road instead of shifting and wobbling under you. It also encloses the space under the seat into real, usable storage, taking advantage of the scheel-mann Vario F's lift up center cushion, instead of leaving that space empty like most setups do.

Klima compatible: Works with scheel-mann heated and heated/cooled (Klima) Vario F and Vario F XXL seats. Cooling functions are controlled separately through scheel-mann's own switches.

Safety systems preserved: With the FZJ80 buckle, the seatbelt bracket lets the buckle move with the seat on its sliders, the way it does from the factory, instead of staying fixed in one spot. All other vehicle safety systems remain functional as designed.

Seat availability: scheel-mann seats included in this package are stocked in specific configurations only. Stitching patterns and certain cosmetic options require a custom build from Germany with a longer lead time. Seat availability varies by model, upholstery, and configuration. View current scheel-mann inventory before ordering to confirm availability.

We're also developing a +1.25" "command height" mount option for a higher seating position, still being finalized.
