Seat and Wheel Swapability

I just got a 1986 4runner and I would like to swap the seats and wheels. I'm about to go junkyard hunting and need to know what years will bolt right up.

Not as a bolt in they are not.

First off, 86 4Runners are 2 doors...thus the pass seat has a slide forward function built into the recline lever.

Most 1990's were 4 doors, and the front seats did not accomadate this as well, since they did not slide as far forward using the lever. 2 Dr 2nd gens may work, but you will still have to drill holes in the floor.

And in terms of bolting it up...You WILL have the modify the mount brackets on anything except 84-89 4Runner and Truck seats. Either that, or plan on drilling holes in the floor.

3rd Gen 4Runners also use Uneven mounting brackets, and the rear inner is pointed sideways, since it bolts to the trans tunnel instead of the floor.

Sizewise, almost anything will fit in that space.

Back seats are the same 84-89 4runner. Trucks didn't have back seats until 89 X-cab. THose are definetly not the same as 4Runners.

Later model back seats may fit, but again they wont be bolt in jobs.

I got buckets out of a 1994 4runner sr5 and put them in my '87 reg cab that had a BENCH seat.



with a tiny bit of pulling it was a straight bolt in. Though the bench seat require pulling and prodding to make it fit back in, in both our toyota pickups so I figured the seats just dont line up perfect but a 1/4" is close enough to call a direct bolt in since I didn't do any drilling or adding new bolts.

The only difference i think you might find is in the stock bench setups the seatbelts are fastened to the inner most hole (thats tapped). I think in the 60/40 setups the inner inside mount is tapped and where MY seatbelts bolted to is NOT tapped.

Hard to describe but you can see the second UNTAPPED hole below the seatbelt (stock attaching position). In other words in bench fitted pickups the usual untapped hole is already tapped so the 4runner seats are a DIRECT bolt in. 60/40 I dont think have this hole pre-tapped, the inner one is instead so you have to drill where my seat attaches to.

tip tap untap, wippy wap... *breath*
