4Runner Seat Swap / Belt Receptacle

Howdy folks. I recently picked up a set of bucket seats from a 2000 4Runner for my 2001 Tacoma. Before install, I tried clicking the existing seat belts into the receptacles built into the 4Runner buckets and they did not click. Anyone else run across this issue? I figured I can either use the receptacles from my bench seat and feed them through, or maybe Tacoma bucket seats receptacles could be bolted onto the same place on the 4Runner seats if I can find a set?

 

I had this issue. Tacoma bucket seat belts bolt right on. The bench ones won't.

 

Thanks man. I will seek out some replacements!

 

Also, not all taco seat belts are the same. Found that out.

 

Hmmmm ... tell me this: Will any 2001-2004 seat belt receptacle be interchangeable? As in, if I find an 01-04 receptacle from a Tacoma bucket seat, should it be compatible with the seat belt from any other 01-04 Tacoma, including one that had a bench?

 

Best thing to do is to actually test fit it.

 

I'd love to do that, but without having any nearby, I'm probably gonna have to take a semi-educated leap of faith on something . . .

 

I have a 95.5. Had buckets. Put in a bench seat. Had to get new belts. Then I tried out some 98 buckets. Those belts wouldnt work. The 04 seats did. Then I got rsx seats with 4Runner receivers. Those didn't work.

 

If they are too wide you can grind them down to fit.

 

I just used the belts from the 4runner

 

Yeah...I've gotta get either new belts or new buckles...
