    Not enough to have a build thread.
    little late to the party but my friends use a guy from out of state to build their drive lines. Typically 200 - 300 shipped to your door. Let me know if you want his info

    That's rad. The bolstering on those looks super nice. The seats also look to be in really good shape.

    Assuming you made your own custom brackets to mount them? How was that?

    The bolsters is THE reason why I wanted to do it. WAY better than original. More adjustment with the power seats is going to be nice too.

    The brackets weren't too bad. The BMW rails were flat on the bottom. I just cut the brackets off the original seats bolted them in to the floor where they go, then set the BMW seat on top of them, lined everything up, tacked them in the truck, pulled the seat back out, and fully welded the bracket to the rail.

    The seat sets up about 1 inch from the original seats did. I'm 5'11" and sit with the seat layed back, so it really doesn't bother me. But the way I did the brackets may not work for someone a lot taller than I am.

    I'm betting they go up and down and have heaters. Speaking of which, I learned 4Runners have nicer seats too.

    They do go up and down... unfortunately, the heaters are controlled by a panel in the dash... which I do not have... and haven't the foggiest clue how I would set up... so no heaters for me. :pout:

    I was a little wigged out on my test drive. The controls are not in the right place.

    I think that's down in the center console? Kinda hard to find it when driving.
