Great idea. Car-part.com does not yet have a section for Ineos/Grenadier but there is a forum for this on the Grenadier Forum that might be worth watching.
Breakers, Wreckers and Salvage Grenadiers
It might be of interest to some for a new thread or classified section for Grenadiers in salvage auctions, wreckers or breakers yards selling second hand parts. I understand that most of the Grenadiers are currently still under warranty but having the knowledge of where cars are being...

I would steer away from corbeau. I bought some sport touring seats and really don’t like them. They look good and have great support. BUT the back is designed wrong it has too much lumbar arch, so much so you can’t comfortably rest your head agains the head rest even with it folded all the way forward. I feel like I am always leaning forward in the seat.
Most any seat can be fabricated to fit in any truck. Junk yards are full of seats. Consider trimming and adding different layers of foam, if you aren't familiar with the construction of seats, it's not rocket science, talk to an upholstery guy. You can probably have some customs seats with decent covers for less than you'd expect.

My Uncle, when he lived in Southern Africa, put seats from scrapped aircraft in the vehicle used for long distance trips. He was GM for an air charter company so obviously this helped find seats which the pilots found best.

Just for future reference, this will take care of the SRS airbag lights when changing out seats:That's the first time I've had any thought called "logical" in a while. Make me feel kinda weird
I bought a Scheel-Mann for our dearly departed Sequoia's driver's seat. In retrospect, it would've made a lot more sense to just replace the foam that the previous owner had put nearly a 1/4-million miles on. Given that safety inspections are an annual thing in Virginia, and I didn't want to go through the insane effort it would've required in making everything work, I had to unbolt the seat and swap everything over to get the airbag light off as that was an instant failure. Not to mention it got to be tedious readjusting things every time we swapped drivers. And...well...seat airbags aren't all that bad an idea to retain.
Just some things for the OP to chew on (if safety inspections are even a thing where they're at).

Good to see they work for LC200s. The Sequoia is long gone but will keep this in mind if we ever swap out the seats in the Cruiser.
