Switching seats

Has anyone switched driver and passenger front seats?

 

Not that I've seen. Any reason to do so?

 

Driver seat is starting to show some wear. Just curious.

 

they make seat covers for that

 

if there are airbags in the seat, they would then be on the wrong side...

 

yeah, that's a good point

 

Cover them or reupholster, it's easier. Driver's and pax are not only mirror images of each other (reason #1 why theyre not swappable), they're wired differently. Pax seat has a weight sensor that driver's does not.

 

No, It's my truck, I'll drive. I am not switching to the passenger seat!

 

When I was a kid, my dad had an old jeep my brother and I would drive around the place ( 200+ acre fields and stuff) It was an older USPS jeep that had a steering wheel on the driver side but had pedals (brake and gas) on both driver and passenger. So we would take turns driving around and messing with each other messing with the pedals while the other drove. Almost flipped it a few times on tank dams... ah, good times, I forgot about that till now

 

Someone posted in the “what have you done to your 3rd gen” thread a few days ago that had swapped out their seats for custom seats. I’d check those out. They looked nice, but likely pricey.

 

or get one from a junkyard

 

The 4Runner driver seat is pretty comfy compared to my Tacoma one. But I would agree to just get clazzio or katskinz covers. You could order the parts OEM if you have money to spend.

 

Removing the seat covers and replacing with new ones isn't overly complicated just a PITA.
