Front seats

Finally got around to painting my pinch weld, (looks awesome BTW, on super white). Then cleaned my WeatherTechs and was vacuuming out my truck when I noticed, the two front seats are different, ('08 double-cab pre runner). The passengers side has a extra section right at the back against the back. Can't believe I've never seen this. Are yours the same.

 

Alright, here you go, extra three inch section is shown on the passagers side, not on drivers. It's no big deal, just wondering why and can't believe I've never seen it before.

 

maybe has to do with lumbar support?????

 

i noticed that the other day and painting the pinch weld is so sweet did mine awhile ago

 

Maybe, but seems it would be on the back instead of the seat if that was the case.

 

Yeah, I just went out and looked at mine, its a 2011 and doesn't have that extra section.

 

Does your passenger seat fold flat and serve as a table? does it have a hard back? maybe thats it?

 

Okay, I'll ask. What is a pinch weld?

 

Yep, now I think your on to something, the pivot is a little higher than the drivers side, it's even got a sticker on the hard back that says something about a table for rear passengers. Thanks for the insight.

 

It's the ugly-ass seem that's crimped and welded right below your doors it shows up better on lighter colored trucks and way worse on darker ones. If you've got step/running boards it's prolly hidden.

Here a link.

Damn it! I thought (well, my wife thought) that this was going to be a yard work weekend ....... ..... nice job.

 

It will look sweet on your BaRed, you will be amazed at the difference. Just take your time with the prep. I used a piece of cardboard up behind the seam to prevent overspray.
