What seats are you running?
Curious to see what kind of seats people have fit into their taco's. Mine arent in too good of shape and I will be looking to replace them soon.

I'm running the stock SR5 seats but I took them in and had them rebuilt with new foam. It was cheaper than buying new seats and I can now drive it for hours and am still able to walk afterwards.

I think I paid 90 or 100 for them to do it and I think it took them about 2 hours or so.
If I do replace them I'll probably use these:

The new scion seat swap knowledge base ? :p
Lol. Yes, my swap was much different.
What I had to do to get the TC seats in was cut the mounting feet off of the Tacoma seat rails. This gives me my mounting points without having to drill into the floorboard. This also left the tacoma seats useless without some good fabwork to get them into another vehicle.
Heres the seat rails of the taco seats
After that there was still some material on the actual feet that had to be ground down, no biggie.
Then I had to very nicely cut the stock scion mounting feet off of the those seats, making sure to leave the lower sliding rails in good shape. Theres a big rivet rod on almost each mount that needs to be cut, as well as a spot weld that needs to be ground down. After that those feet will almost fall off leaving the rails nice and clean.
Once I had everything ready I bolted the tacoma mounts into the truck and set the Scion seat on top, gave it a good tack weld then pulled it out and welded it up fully, as shown :
And here they are in the truck

A different way of doing it is entailed in this thread:

I have a 99 SR5 with tan cloth seats. Tonight, I just bought a 98 Limited that was rolled. I hope I like the tan leather seats from it when I get them switched out. They are nice with only 120K on the truck.
