lower seat cushion swap? passenger to driver side... plus seat covers

So, my '97 is doing pretty well on the seat bolsters, but I was wondering if I could take the lower passenger seat cushion "section" and swap it out with the driver's side... is this a thing? The controls are all on the outside, so maybe I could swap the cushions?

I am looking at seat covers too if anyone has any recommendations. I have searched here and googled around, but can't find much specifically for a 1997...

Thanks for anything!

 

i use this buttox cushion pad I got from wally world as well as the lower back cushion

 

Superb looking SR5! The Very last year of the true SR5
Manual transmission and a sunroof!
My SR5 has the bluishgrey interior and no sunroof

How many miles are on that seat cushion?
I had an upholstery shop add some more foam to mine many years ago and perhaps time to get that done once again before hitting 400k miles

 

Yes, you can swap the bottoms. That's what I did as part of my search for comfortable seats. Here's how to do it:

That worked well for a while, but eventually I ended up with much more supportive seats. Here's the whole "saga": Saga of Seats

 

I have some covers from these guys. Very happy with them. I got a heated seat retrofit kit for a Corolla and installed it on the seats under the covers, works great.

Those are some rare seats. You don't see the Limited 1995-2000 trucks very often.

 

No limited Tacoma until 1998 Model Year

 

No, it definitely did. Here is a page from the 1995.5 brochure for the truck. Those are the Limited seats with the same fabric, as well as the door panels.

You are thinking of TRD, which did not exist until 1998.

 

I certainly cannot argue with that

 

Thanks!

We're at 230k right now, so I think it's doing pretty darn good.

 

thanks for the recomendataion! Others have also suggested them, and I am leaning toward those... also with heaters.

I just priced out some of the half piping covers - with the black bolsters and color centers.

What do you guys think? Should I try and match the interior and pick tan for the center color, or go crazy and do red or something?

 

wow. Very cool! I have "special" seats!

I learn something new every day on TW!

 

Thanks for links!

 

do you have the full brochure? or know where to get one on the interwebs?
all i have found is this so far, which requires a donation to download lol

1997 Toyota Tacoma Brochure - ImportArchive




it has really been eatin' on my brain that i have been thinking otherwise (for over 1/4 century now)
that the limited LTD tacoma was not put on the lots until 1998


there was also this, which might be part of the brochure?

here is another found brochure link

Toyota Tacoma (1997)

 

Import Archive is what I use. I paid to get the brochure for my truck from them.

 

Go nuts with the color, it's not permanent! One note with those covers...careful when soldering near them. Hehe. They don't like a drop of hot solder. Did that within hours of installation. But after a year or two the imperfection hasn't grown. I would suggest pulling the seats out for the installation, just way easier. And O'Neil wetsuit wash/cleaner works great on them. It will extend their life as well. You can wash them without removing them, just go to town.

 

Thanks! I will order some soon... probably Black/Red =)

 

do you have any shots from the backend of that beauty
i have been waiting All Week for those pics
LoL

 

HA! Sorry! I will grab some shots tomorrow!

Been running around like a madman lately haha

 

More pics as promised!

With the new bed liner, and I finally got the full sized (265/70 R17) spare tucked up under the bed. No bending/cutting/mods required!

Apparently those are some kinda 4-Runner wheels...

Don't know how I feel about the chrome mirrors though, heh.
