Hello fj world,
I have a 1985 fj1100. Was wondering if I can use a fj1200 seat on the fj1100 ?

Yes, all years are interchangeable.

3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.

Pat, Not sure about that, I got a seat from a 1200 once that didn't have same hardware below and wouldn't fit, looked the same on top.

All years fit, that seat may have come off an FJ with a custom subframe. I have a seat off of an 84, 86 and 89. They interchange on my 86 and 89.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

I have a seat on my '91 that came off an '85. Straight swap.
