My son purchased a 1997 Land Cruiser that is in remarkable shape and extremely well taken care of. Unfortunately, he did so before realizing it's a pretty tight fit for him while driving given his height. Is there a way to modify this to create some extra room for him? I am not very car-savvy so I apologize for the lack of knowledge and am probably asking a dumb question. But any suggestions on what may be options would be greatly appreciated.

Question on modifying

You can modify the seat rails and slide the seat back. I have and the difference is amazing. There is a kit for the leather seats that's available in the US. I keep meaning to make some, but I'm lazy.
They look like this. There's some work to do and you need to be confident, but it does transform the leg room. Alternatively, I'm sure there are people who'd help to take a decent 97 off your hands for you.

I thought this Bob, I think Chris assumed it was for an 80.
When Trev asked for help with a 97 Cruiser, I figured it to be an 80. The 95 always had more legroom in my view. So which is it a late 80 or an early 90?

Google images "Landcruiser history" , only because you mention the missing 150 i noticed it's an ad for these guys https://www.n14x4.co.za/about-us/
Geez...I feel way outside my lane as I don't know any of this stuff. I don't know if this will help but I am attaching a couple pictures of the vehicle itself as I don't know the answer to your question. I do have a carfax on it as well. But showing my lack of knowledge I don't see where it says the type of Land Cruiser it is.

Nice one Shayne, spot on.
And a very nice example of an 80 Series too, Trey, if I may say so, a very smart looking beast your son has found himself
There's very little to those and something I could run up on the miller very easily. But as with all these things it's the dimensions that I need. The time is all taken in working out the design. I thought about buying a set. There's nothing unique about them; they're just the opposite profile of the seat underside. I know there's a good few people here would like to mod their electric seats. The manual ones are just simple brackets.
