    So correct me if i’m wrong but what exact electronic connections are made in the swap? Both seat weight sensors? Is there a center one and if so what is done for that? I have a set of 2006 bucket seats i found at a scrap yard, both manual w/o airbag.

    Only weight sensor is the passenger seat on the bench. If you pull you harness off the bench, the only connections you will make is the two seatbelts.easy peasy!

    Hello there, my bench seat is very painful, I have a pair of seats I could get but they are out of a 2005 4 Runner, do you think they would work? Your answer is greatly appreciated! Thanks Philip.

    4th Gen 4 runners are 2003-2009. They should all have the same bolt pattern on the floor. I don’t see why they wouldn’t fit perfectly. Good luck!

    @@satchelcasalini7874 I did swap the seats out,however I bought some bucket seats from the same year tacoma. Could not figure out the airbag wiring. So I left everything intact under the seat. I will have to to do something about it before my inspection sticker is due. I used 4 bolts that attached the back of the bench seat to bolt down the buckets. What a difference these have made!

    I’m sure they will. If the thick backed 4 runner seats work, those Tacoma seats should as well. The seat bolt pattern should be exactly the same.
