Can you?

Does anyone know if it’s possible to remove seats in my 86 4Runner,and replace with some from a different car? Or have you tried it? Thanks

late 80's/early 90's Honda/acura seats are pretty dang close to bolt in. Mid 2000 HOndas seats are awesome.
Subaru seats mounts are close too but i feel the seat bottoms are too tall putting my head too close to the roof.

i stuck a set of 06 Civic Seats in my 94 4Runner that were pretty dang close to bolt in, able to use the factory mounting holes with slide adjustment to the factory Honda mounts
see below, maybe the info will help you out

forgot my tape measure so improvised with a window channel to get mounting measurements for the factory mounting holes.


wandered around trying to find something that weren’t trashed out, smelling like a 200 year old ashtray and would be easy to mount.
it was a long search but ended up with a set of 2006 Civic seats. Using the window channel tape measure I knew I would need to drill the inside front mount an inch or so over, fortunately Honda was generous with extra metal on that side.
the rear mounts looked like they would be pretty Dang close.



got the seats home and cleaned them up.



I ended up elongating the two rear holes. They worked out perfect using the two rear factory mounts



Drilled an offset hole for the front inside mount as expected

Outside hole worked just fine




hard to get a decent picture inside the garage but you get the idea.
I’ll get the driver’s seat mounted this weekend.
finally done with seats in this hunk of crap
It is nice to have some seats that are comfortable and the cushions are broken down.
edit- and these appear to be heated seats. Was able to find the wiring diagram online
