Default Exstending drivers seat in the 2007 GX470

Has anyone been successful exstending the drivers seat range in the 2007 GX470? I am a tall person and need more leg room. I am considering using a product from exstend-a-seat which appears to be relocating structural clips but it is made for the 2007 4Runner. * Successful ideas please!

Putting longer seat rails in so that it can go back further. You'd also have to extend the wiring.

No idea if the kit for a 4Runner would work or not - try giving the extend-a-seat people a call. They're the experts.

4Runner is a different body, it's very possible that the floor profile is different and the extend-a-seat kit won't work. They make a set of rail relocation brackets for this for the 80 series, but I've never seen it for any other platform. @chiph9 has a good point about needing to extend the wiring, it's already borderline too short and many have had to repair the seatbelt harness.
