    I have a 2013 RC Tacoma with the bucket seats and center console. I love the bench seats though, and would ideally like to swap to a 60/40 split or just a bench if possible. The center console can be removed, but would I have to remove anything else to make this fit? If anyone has a 60/40 bench they would swap for buckets, let me know! I’m in Minneapolis.

    thanks

    I love my bench seats. Good for keeping your girl close to you & your wallet when she's not.

    Good luck with your search :thumbsup:

    @whatstcp It looks like the shifter is a little higher up on the bench seat model. I just want to make sure there's enough room for a bench seat if I just remove the armrest storage part, and have the middle of the bench seat just hang on top of that. Do you have pics of your interior?

    I am in Texas so probably too far for you but I am finished with my bench to bucket conversion and need to get rid of the bench seat. It is complete except for the harness wiring which I removed (bladder pad for the occupant sensor is still in there as I didn't need it). I am willing to give it away to anyone that would pick it up in San Antonio.

    I'm interested in your search, have you found a way of swapping the bucket to bench or have you scrapped the idea?

    Thanks,
