    Hi there,

    Just joined TW - been enjoying threads for a long time, lots of great answers - time to ask a first modification question.

    I'd like to swap my bucket seats out of my 2006 tacoma regular cab. I got a bench seat out of a 2012 tacoma and it fits just fine. However, the seat belts and sensors are a total mismatch, I understand, due to their different locations. I've seen threads about swapping a bench seat for buckets seats but not the other way around. Has anyone done this before?

    Thanks,
    JM

    As far as I'm aware, when installing buckets into a regular cab... You have 2 options with the seatbelts:
    1) Grind them down
    2) Get a new assembly
