That sounds like a great option. Did you get them reupholstered too? If you don't mind me asking, how much did this cost per seat?

Lol. Yes, my swap was much different.

What I had to do to get the TC seats in was cut the mounting feet off of the Tacoma seat rails. This gives me my mounting points without having to drill into the floorboard. This also left the tacoma seats useless without some good fabwork to get them into another vehicle.
Heres the seat rails of the taco seats


After that there was still some material on the actual feet that had to be ground down, no biggie.
Then I had to very nicely cut the stock scion mounting feet off of the those seats, making sure to leave the lower sliding rails in good shape. Theres a big rivet rod on almost each mount that needs to be cut, as well as a spot weld that needs to be ground down. After that those feet will almost fall off leaving the rails nice and clean.

Once I had everything ready I bolted the tacoma mounts into the truck and set the Scion seat on top, gave it a good tack weld then pulled it out and welded it up fully, as shown :



And here they are in the truck
