race seats or offroad seats in 1st gen tacoma

Does anybody here have a tacoma that has different seats in it like the harness seats not stock seats.I want to see what it looks like in a tacoma thanks

 

Did you ever have a look at these threads over on CustomTacos. Not exactly and easy project, and pretty expensive as well.

I keep going over this subject as I travel about 80 miles round trip every day in my truck and the seats are horrible!!!

Don't have race seats but I have subie seats (2.5rs) in my Tacoma.

 

interesting. pics?

 

I'll get some tomorrow in the day.

 

what did u have to do to fit em?

 

ok it's late in the day, you better have those pics!!!!!

 

i got the same issue i just dont fit in the truck anymore

 

Alright you picture Nazi.

Here's the goods.








Still need to weld a Tab there.

 

Drill 2 holes and weld an extension tab.

WRX seats also works.

 

I think the OP is talking about 4,5, or 6 point Harness type racing seats, like Sparco, Recaro, or Bride.

I can't think of any members on here with a first gen with racing seats...

But mjp2 has a sweet 2nd gen race build

Anyways, 4 point harnesses with racing seats are DEFINITELY helpful. My best friend would be dead right now if it wasn't for Sparco.

But to install them requires more than just retrofitting 2 seats with 8 bolts, you need to have a roll cage or at least a bar behind the seats for the harness to tie into.

It's really kind of unnecessary unless you're planning on racing; in which case I more than strongly encourage it. But if you're going to do racing seats, then you should also do a full roll cage as well.

Or you can always buy racing seat covers from autozone. They look just like the real thing and add 100 hp.

 

i want those! how much did it cost ya and what did you need for installation?

 

40 bucks.

A drill to drill those holes.

 

Holy crap! 40 bucks for those 2 niceass seats? I thought they'd be like 100 or something. I might have to replace my torn up tan seats after a visit to the junkyard...

 

seats are expensive, but worth it

i'm still undecided which corbeau seat i want to go with but i want one that still reclines. corbeau offers brackets for the tacoma, so you can bolt them right in

Nelson, did you ever end up installing the corbeau seats? Seats are my next expense for my truck and to help my aching back on those long drives. Comfort is very important to. If anyone has pics please share.

 

no, havent gotten new seats yet, but they are still on my to do list

 

I went with a (1) Corbeau Probably going to sell and get a recliner later down the road.
