    Hey Everyone,

    I am new to the Tacoma's but have really enjoyed modifying mine. I have a 2005 DCSB 4x4 SR5 with some new suspension, tires, stereo, etc.

    I've been taking some road trips in it and have found the seats super uncomfortable. Nothing like my 2002 Tundra Limited which felt like a massage therapist was hugging you the whole time you're driving. For reference, I'm 5'9", 215 lbs with some back problems.

    I've heard the Sport and TRD OR seats are more comfortable and offer lumbar support. Is this true? If so, how hard would it be to swap seats? Do they just bolt in?

    I love my Off Road Bucket Seats... Not quite the feeling that I'm getting massaged. But I never notice my seats when I'm driving.

    I put sport/offroad bucket seats in my SR5 that I got from a junk yard. They do just bolt in. There are factory plugs under the seats that need to be connected for the air bag sensor but other than that there are just four bolts.

    Also IMO the sport or offroad bucket seats are more comfortable than the SR5 bucket seats.
