any one have any pictures of bucket seats out of a 4runner. i would like to buy some and wanted to know what they looked like. thanks. iuf you could just post some pics with your year and model that would be great.

 

I second it, with what year and model they came out of.. Esp.. If someone has took some out cars or something other than Toy. and they worked out.. Yotas are SO hard to find around here. they all still running!!

 

IIRC, there is another seat option on some years 4Runner. Like a lumbar support or something so you would need to know the trim code I think if you ever want to order good or factory replacement covers for them. I think on the Wet Okole, (spelling?), web site they mention it.

 

It was in a sport package I believe, 1992

 

be like the 4th time I've posted pics of mine =)

$50 pair @ a junkyard. Little carpet cleaner, Febreeze few days for drying and they were seats again =)

1994 Toyota 4runner seats. Into a 1987 Standard Cab Pickup. Replaced a BENCH seat. The backs adjust, has 2 or 3 lumbar adjustments (knob on side) and kidney support (if thats what you call it) .. the sides on the upright move in and out "squeezing" you i guess. (two knobs on inside of upright)

front-back... tilt... independent headrests.. those adjust up and down, and tilt forward and back..

The SEAT area, where yo butt goes tilts up and down as well..

all manual controls.

... Pass side only has two controls for it. Seat slider, seat tilt and thats it. (Well not including the headrest adjustments, same as driver side)

Pass seat has seatcover, left it off driver side to show original seat.


Bolts right into factory tapped holes, front and back.


Front bolts.


How I fastened the seatbelt buckle (factory location).

 

couple more



I decided to lower the headrests all the way down since they looked kinda odd sticking so high up with the one-piece seatcovers and actually interefered with the rear sliding window. Besides with them lower the seat went back further and it looks better.. To bad i didnt take a picture of them lowered. Oh well, you still get the idea. With the seat covers the seats look pretty killer IMO. Matches my interior perfectly.


Did I mention these are COMFORTABLE?!?!

 

OEM seats from a '92....

 

Here's a not that great pic of mine:



I'm not sure what they're out of or where they came from because they were in it when I bought it and I didn't know that much about Yotas at that time so I didn't know to ask.

What is the switch/controls just right of the steering wheel (small rectangle) Looks like it has a square green button on it.

Also i see some aftermarket guages in the instrument cluster, do you have picture of it?

thnx =)

 

Green "button" is actually the ignition courtesy light, the button is for activating the cruise control.

 

The previous owner swapped in the dash from a higher end 4Runner I'm assuming (like I said earlier I didn't know to ask at the time of purchase). So it has buttons and controls for cruise control and air conditioning even though my truck doesn't have those. It also has the button for clutch start cancel, but it doesn't matter if I push it or not; I can still start it without pushing in the clutch. The buttons look cools though

As far as the gauges, I have SunPro oil psi, coolant temp and tach (not pictured). I will have to get better pictures of those though. I know some will say instead of those individual gauges, why not get an SR5 cluster and be done with it? Well it had an SR5 cluster that I'm assuming was swapped in with the rest of the interior and about half of the gauges didn't work on it. I got tired of sitting there with a wiring digram and having no luck swapping wires around, so I ditched it and bought a cheapo cluster and made spots for the aftermarket gauges right in it.

this is the best shot i got of mine...

 

my 86 seats would b nice but they got a couple rips.... they r buckets with the tilt and headrests the green light stays on so long and when its on u can still roll down/up your windows without your keys in

 

i just put mine in two days ago!



seats came from a 93 runner, swapped into a 94 extracab pickup. my truck had 60/40 bench seats, and i only had to drill one hole. the buckets line up perfectly on the passenger side, but the drivers side will only line up to 3 of the stock holes. the rear right of the drivers seat has to bolt into the seatbelt hole, and you pull out the plastic plug and drill a new hole for the seatbelt on the side of the little hump (mirror image of the passenger's seatbelt).

the front right mount didn't line up to the hole that was used by the bench, but if you cut back the carpet there's a hole drilled at the factory (sans a welded on nut). i used a carriage bolt from behind, but if your hands are girly enough you could probably use a regular bolt from the front. here's an unclear pic:



i plugged the old holes with the leftover seat bolts.

all in all a pretty easy swap, and the seats are waaayy better. seat tilt adjustment, lumbar support, wing adjustment, and adjustable headrests. all for $50/seat. they were filthy when i got them home but a little turtle wax upholstery cleaner and they're like new.

ask if you need better pictures, i'll take 'em tomorrow.

 

Recaro's from a 2nd gen Hilux Surf in my 87 pickup

 

I really like those Recaro's. Are they comfortable on long trips?

 

I haven't taken any long trips, but they seem ok. They're a more firm seat compared to stock sr5 buckets.

 

So, are there any seats that just bolt up directly w/out any drilling?

 

Yes, should of read my post above.

Same seats as Issac338 put into his 94 pickup. However I'll repeat again that a 60/40 bench uses different mounting than a full bench seat. The holes and little nubs are the same in every pickup but the holes wont be tapped if you have a 60/40 to fit 4runner bucket seats.

If you have a full bench seat the holes that 4runner seats use are already factory tapped.

Two outers, inner (seatbelt connection) and the inner front holes are pretapped and ready for the bolts. toyota decided to pre-tap these holes for reason i dont know why, regardless of 60/40 or full bench.

 

I have a 60/40 split bench in my truck. I can always tap the holes. I'm just trying to figure out if there were some seats that wouldn't require me to drill more holes into the floorboard of my truck.

thanks for the advice
