    Good afternoon everyone. This is my first post. I am a new Toyota Tacoma owner.

    When you examine the picture attached.
    PLEASE REFERENCE THE RED SQUARE BRACKET.
    (The larger one at the top of the rear seat)

    I recently bought a 2018 Tacoma from a guy who used it alot for over landing.
    He did a back seat delete set up.

    I am trying to reinstall the back seats. However the square bracket is missing. He told me that when I bought it. He had removed all that to soundproof the cab.

    However I am unable to find any replacement brackets. I have a few questions to the group. Hopefully I can get lucky here.

    Would anyone here be willing to sell them if they are not using their backseats? I would gladly exchange information and pay you top dollar for your parts.

    Or would anyone here have a parts/scrap Tacoma they're parting out? If so. Could I purchase them off of that truck?

    Or if anyone has any other ideas on how to attach the rear seats back in. I would love to hear it. My next stop would be a machinist shop.

    Please don't tell me to look in
    junkyards, or on FB marketplace. I have already been calling junkyards. They have no 3rd gen Tacoma's in my area. Marketplace has nothing. Both are dry watering holes.

    The part I am looking for is very small and specific. I will be contacting Toyota directly to see if it's an part that can be ordered. Even doing research online. I haven't been able to identify a part number. So I'm not optimistic when discussing it with Toyota.

    I was referred here by the previous owner. He said you were all very helpful.

    I wanted to say thank you in advance to everyone.

    That "red square bracket" is just the back seat locking bracket. 2 bolts and you can remove or install.

    Sorry, but a junkyard is still the answer

    Any junkyard that has a third gen will ship you one for cheap, it’s tiny
