I am in need of replacing my factory bench. I would like the added convience of a center console, so I want to put buckets in. Were buckets ever offered in the 89-95 reg cab trucks. I know they were offerend in the 1st gen.

I am 6'4'' and dont want to put xcab or runner seats in since I am assuming they are deeper on the back than reg cab seats would be, and I need ALL the leg room I can get.

If you have them would you please post pics.

Thank You

if anyone has xcab or runner seats, I'd like to see em...I'm only 5'11" so I'd be happy with em

Ha! I've looked at those seats too. That guy always has seats for sale, so don't feel rushed to buy them. Figure out exactly what you'd like. Personally, I plan on just finding seats I like, and adapt them to my rig. Although, I'm only 5'-9", so I probably won't have leg room issues. $320 seems a bit high for those, despite their good condition. My 2 cents.

The drivers seat is the same X-cab to 4RUnner.....the only difference is the pass side X-cab seat has the lever for back seat access, where the 4Runner doesn't.

The regular cab trucks weren't offered with buckets are far as I know. And if they were, would be the same as the x-cab seats. We put 4RUnner buckets in our reg-cab deluivery trucks, and they fit and work just fine.

BTW: Wrenchmonster: $320 is a screaming deal. We sell those seats at work for $475-$975 and cant keep them in stock. Those seats are pretty rare, especially in really nice condition.

How much leg room do you loose, if any?

well, im only 5'11, so i didn't lose any room. but, the seat is all the way back against the cab. THere is room to move the seat forward and still be comfy, but i like the seat all the way back.

The Reg cabs just weren't made for buckets i guess.

and it also depends on how much you like to recline your seat. If you like it straight up like the orignal bench, you wont lose any leg room. But if you like it wayyyy back, then of course you will lose some leg room

AH64ID

No kidding. If I only loose a little, less than an inch its okay I guess. My leg doest rest on the seat anyways. When I started driving mr bro-inlaw had speaker boxes behind the seat, he is only 5'7. I drove it that way for a while, but when the lift went on the speakers came out....

yea, the buckets really dont allow for much of anything of size to be put behind them. perhaps a gallon of coolant or the jack kit heh

AH64ID

I am not too worried about storage behind the seat, my ARB pump is there and my inverter is going there, but other than a gazzeteer I dont need any storage. The center console is the main reason...

wrenchmonster

Wow, really? I stand corrected. My point was that if you were willing to do a little fabricating you could probably fit bucket seats from almost anything. I first started working on IH Scouts, so I'm used to not having any bolt in options. I know guys who've put heated leather BMW seats in their rigs for less than $200. My 2 cents.

AH64ID

Guess I will try and get a set, and if they done fit I will sell them.

6'4" in a Toyota? Maybe you should just buy an extra cab, get rid of the front seat, and just sit in the back.

AH64ID

yeah yeah....

I haul my bro around from time to time, and his knees hit my dash. 6'8". Most (if not all) here will say the Toy was a good decision over a domestic.

My right leg cramps unless I'm in 5th gear

So I have been looking around for more info on this. Has anyone done this swap on a reg cab? I found plenty of info for doing in on a xcab, or a rig with a 60/40 bench, but I have a solid bench..

Any insight/photos would be great

My truck came with buckets that they called sport seats . . .. I think. The driver's seat has adjustable side bolsters, lumbar, and the seat front adjusts up and down. I didn't think buckets were so rare.

Let me know if you need more info or pictures. I have easy access to the guts of the situation since my interior is torn out at the moment.
