Replace the Rear Seat of a Toyota Hilux with a Storage Bench

Model: Toyota HiLux N150, N160, N140, N170 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Rear bench seat

In this video, you will see how to replace the rear seat of a Toyota Hilux with a useful DIY storage bench. Start with a project and a piece of wood, measuring the back of your Hilux. The YouTubers also acquired some common carpet to cover the bench, and once they removed the rear seat, they positioned the bench, properly divided inside according to their needs, to serve as a base for an adventurous trip. The benches were secured together with springs to prevent movement, and the job is done. A lot of creativity and a bit of handiwork.
