I thought it was the driver's side that was the problem...
The only problem I'm aware of is that the driver's side does'nt line up when you are swaping out the 60/40 for the buckets...
there are a few threads here on the topic I'd try a search... I think there might even be a tech article on the subject...
cheers aviator

Gen1 4Runner passenger buckets had a SHORT bolt range for the bottom bracket to make it easier to exit via the passenger dor (about 3"?)

Just drill a hold and bolt with fender washers...
