    With the money you save you could pay someone to come over and weld them for you. :thumbsup:

    I gave my buddy a sixer and a t-bone steak for his lawnmower with broken pull string.

    There's a fellow on youtube who put the sport seats in his single cab with a
    bench seat. As mentioned, the bench seat doesn't have the inner rear holes.
    The youtube fellow didn't look under the carpet for them, or drill holes himself,
    he says three bolts on each Corbeau bracket seemed fine to him and
    he left it that way...

    I have Corbeau's installed in my 99, had to file one hole in the brackets just to help fit a little better. But I don't have any complaints.

    Well, I went ahead and ordered the Corbeau Seats and Brackets. This am the brackets arrived and I put them both on with no problems. I'm gonna wait until tomorrow (Too freakin Hot out now) to install the Pass side and see how it goes. If my back allows I'll do it myself. If not, then I'll take them to my Mech. And let him deal with it.

    I installed a Corbeau GTS II in my ‘92 pickup and the only regret I had was ordering the seat bracket with the dual locking slider instead of the single locking slider. It was VERY stiff, to the point where i dreaded having to adjust it, which would be good security for rock crawling but for daily use I think a single locking would’ve been better. You won’t be disappointed in any of the Corbeau’s though. Very comfortable seats.

    Corbeau seats brackets are direct bolt in specific to our truck.

    You can buy used seats with Corbeau brackets or their seats and it’s very simple.

    It’s an easy install

    Only problem of the day, The bolt for the seat belt retainer "DOES NOT COME OFF!". It is part of the seat frame, lucky me I have the bucket of bolts, nuts and screws every shade tree must have.

    One side done. Still unsatisfied with the seat belt retainer, as they do not come with hardware. Oh well.

    Don't forget the seat belt warning light wire, as some states will not let ya pass inspection with the light on.

    If you use the Corbeau brackets they have the seatbelt bracket part of the frame and you just bolt the Tacoma seat latch to it.
