Bucket seats in a regular cab, HELP

i dont know

 

so far the hardest thing is disconnecting all the things off of the seat and putting it on the new ones. I also didn't have screws so that was another issue. I put everything back since It didn't seem easy. The next day off or weekend, I'll try it again.

 

I think drew02a swapped in some buckets. Thought he had a thread about it, maybe in his build thread.

EDIT: here's pics from his build thread, thought there was more info somewhere

 

the 09-10 bench does have airbags in it... the weight connectors are different but they are not hard to figure out what wires go were and solder them rather than worry about the connectors. the 09-10 airbags are an issue though. there is a way to match the resistance of the airbag and add a resistor to the circuit but idk what the resistance is...

 

Well I won't worry about airbags. I have an '05. They're a pain. It might have to call Toyota and order more seat mounts

 

oh now i get it! u got a 2005 which is a 2nd gen tacoma. my 1997 is a first gen. aftermarked seats would be fine as mine arent stock and i went to shucks to get mine. as to getting a center console idk where ud find one, i still havent put one in yet

 

How would it matter? i have them and they work just fine

 

Purchasing spare seat mounts still seems like the way to go.

 

id reccommend that someone helps u when puttin em in though. since ull have to drill holes and stuff

 

how did you install the buckets?

 

some custom brackets made with flat 1/4" steel. painted black and finished off of course. They look okay and sit low like a race car. :/

 

didn't the seats you bought come with the brackets?

 

they came with rails. usually you'd be able to unbolt the mounting brackets from the oem seats and then attach them to the new seats but since i had a bench, i only had enough mounts for one seat.ha then i sold the bench with mounts for $300 picked up.

 

can you post some pics of the setup? payday is tuesday and i need a reason to not give other people rides.

 

this is the best i can do for now. i don't have a camera at the moment

 

very nice work

 

10-11 reg cab doesn't have an air bag IN the seat.

What is has is an air bag WEIGHT SENSOR underneath the seat. This is so my 7 year old daughter can ride in the seat without being killed by the airbag in the event of an accident.

If your older bench seat doesn't have this sensor, there's nothing to worry about.

 

ours just have the sensor too.

 

bench serves good when your drivin with ur girl

 

i already know that. its the only reason i'm hesitatin to swap out the bench.
