So finding a oem arm rest is getting harder to do. I seen zor had brackets for dodge caravan stowaway 2nd row seats inti a samurai. Has anyone tried this with a tracker/sidekick?
I attached the photos below. I like that they give you more leg room, fold down flat for cargo, and the arm rest.
Seem cheaper than a set of moab seats and brackets too.
If not these seats mentioned whats another good option for a seat upgrade with a arm rest?

The arm rest is what really throws a wrench in the works. Most of the time you are going to need something out of a larger pickup or suv to get an armrest... we had a gen 1 Honda CRV, and the driver seat had an armrest... and is a small frame seat. That could be an option. Those caravan seats look like a good option, and they are comfortable enough. Any mini van with second row buckets will probably have arm rests.

If its an armrest you're looking for, have you considered another console out of another type vehicle with close to the same dimensions and color? I only mention this because I was looking at the stand-alone armrest of the early '00's Xterra/Frontiers. It looks like it might sit too far back to be useful or comfortable. I also wish for an armrest. I saw some aftermarket styles that could be slightly modified to screw to the existing console.

Yea i would like to stick to something thats been done and prooven. I wonder if the samurai has the same seat frame as the sidekicks? Do you know if the samurai guys swap the sidekick seats ir vise verse?

If someone has done it before and it looks nice id consider swapping the center console. Do you have any pictures or links? I prefer oem over aftermarket screw on. I want it to be sturdy.
I seen some locking armrests for the samurai's i wonder if they would fit with a slight modification

There is a guy local to me that builds mild to wild Sami’s, and putting sidekick seats into a Sami is something he does very regularly, and I think it is pretty simple.
