this is a very good thread, of the better ones on the subject of seats.

any more pics? i'm especially interested in what people with the 60/40 bench have used in terms of bucket seats

 

Hey, I am 6'4" as well and I drive a 95 single cab.
I found MK1 MR2 seats, which fit very nicely with a little bracket modification.
They both sit lower, which was great for my height, and are much more comfortable.

Also, I bought a MOMO steering wheel. My legs didn't fit under the old pizza sized one. Best 200 dollars I've spent so far.

 

^ ^ I like the GT Grant steering wheel personally. I have a 94' SR5 so I have all my cruise controls buttons and what not on the wheel and don't want to lose that

 

got me some SR5 buckets and center consol for like 50 bux!

 

I replaced the bench seat in my 92 reg cab with buckets from a 95 4 runner. They bolted right up to the factory holes. my setup is pretty much the same as Drew303 with the seat belt bolted to the same location it was with the bench seat. Much more comfortable, and since i'm not that tall (5'-6") I can slide them forward and recline them. got mine at a junk yard $75 and steam cleaned them and used some upoulsry cleaner and they are good as new.

 

you have the regular bench or 60/40? thanks

 

Sorry, u didn't see that you had the 60/40. I had a bench seat in there. I would think any buckets from the same generation4runner would would work. Mine had all the correct holes in the right locations for the seats to bolt up without A problem. The 60/40 might have a little bit different mouning points, but the holes to mount up buckets should be there. If they aren't predrilled there will probably be a stamp in the metal where a mounting location should so all you would have to is drill. I think the outer mounting loations for all the seat types are the same, not sure though. It's pretty easy to pull the seats out, only takes about 10 minutes. Then you can pull the carpet back and see what you have. Take a look at the pictures Drew303 has posted on the first page. He doesn't have a carpet so it's pretty easy to see what it looks like for mounting locations. If yours looks the same then chances are buckets should bolt right up. Just be sure to measure first to make sure.

 

Good find! You even got the super secret "double console" in there.

I still have my stock seats, but a couple days ago I picked up some TRD seat covers for a Tacoma. Not a perfect fit, but very close. And at half the price of wet okoles, I figured what the hell. Yeah yeah yeah, I have TRD seat covers in a non TRD rig. What of it???



The bottoms fit just about perfect, but the seat back is a little tall for the seat. The nice thing is though...... look at the side of the seat. You can see how its not a full cover, the black panel cuts across. So I didn't have to cut anything and I can still use the lumbar controls on the other side of the seat. Not bad for half price. and the sides are wetsuit material, the middle is thick rubber. Heavy duty stuff.

 

Those look pretty good, they look like they could have been oem. Plus, putting TRD labels anywhere on your truck gives you like +15 whp. I also read somewhere that putting a v-tec or type-r badge or sticker on non v-tec/ non type-r vehicles yields about +10 whp, and +15 whp if they are red...... Just kidding/ ragging on ricers. I like the seat covers though. Having a heavy duty material like wetsuit material will definatly keep the seats nice and clean.

 

Nice find on these seats..

I can't find anything half as nice in my area. Every junkyard says that they never get Toyota buckets.. I wonder where they are all going?

 

I knew some of those comments would come. Oh well. I was starting to get the worn out spot from getting in/out. So these should cut that down and keep them from tearing open.

Soooooo, does that mean I am pushing the 120 HP threshold?

 

Maybe a little more since you have 2 seat covers each with a trd label, so maybe more like 130 hp. Just kidding. I think they look pretty good and it looks like they will protect the seats pretty well.

 

Another 50$ set of buckets,

 

Holy clean interior batman.... Nice seats, mine look exacty the same except the drivers seat doesn't have lumbar adjustment. I'll try to post pics after I get out of work.

 

got these off c/l. guy was asking 75, got them for 40.00 and had them steam cleaned for 20.00, then my buddy stole them and put them in his truck...lol

where did you get them steam cleaned? maybe it's b/c i live in a small town but i wouldn't even know where to begin to look for something like that around here

 

i went to a place called yellow submarine, dont think its a chain, but its just a car wash place that cleans and detail interiors. anywhere that can clean your carpets inside your car should be able to do the seats, only reason i went was b/c there was some grease stains and they had a high suction vacum they used after they put the cleaner on, otherwise i would have done it my self.

 

Or you could use a clothes steamer thing. My girlfriend has one and thats what I used. It might not work as well as one at a detail place, but it did the job. I think all your really trying to do is relax the fabric a bit to help get the dirt/ smells out of the fabric.

 

i just put some seats out of a 2000 civic into my 87 toyota (2wd but all the same for the purpose of this thread), they fit very well and without too much doing on my part. here's my write-up

here's what the look like installed:
