    I would really like to get rid of the bench and put bucket seats in with the least amount of work. Not lazy, just looking for efficiency

    I’ve read in some posts that some modifications such as drilling holes and repositioning of the seatbelts would be needed for some bucket seats.

    But does anybody know from what Toyotas have the least modification for my 04? Gonna search the salvage yards.
    Thanks!

    I ditched the bench for 3rd gen 4 runner seats. Had to modify one attachment point per seat. Sits you up a little higher but it really increases the comfort. Out of all the seat upgrades it has to be the most easy.
