You saved my life in Engineering school, now you are a life saver for Tacoma mods! Didn’t know you liked imports too. Huge help. Thank you very much. I bought 2014 4Runner seats and I’ll be trying to wire the electric seat movement
I got a set of bucket seats from a 2010 X-Runner and installed them in my 2005 regular cab Tacoma, replacing the bench seat. The X-Runner seat mounts aligned perfectly with the bolt receivers in the Tacoma. The driver seat belt wire harness connected with the Tacoma’s harness, however there weren’t any harness in the passenger seat that matched the Tacoma’s passenger side wire harness. Due to this issue, the airbag dash indicator stays on. Since the bench seat was discarded before seeing this video, I now have to find one to take the seat sensor and install it in the X-Runner’s passenger seat. This seems to be the solution to resolve the airbag indicator on my dash.
Fenomenal video. I'm fishing to do the same thing on my truck thanks to this video. the bench seat feels like a park bench to me, I'm done with the bench.
Great video!! I’ve been looking for this video for a long time. But I need to see more details. What else on wiring and seatbelt buckles. Thanks and Happy new year!
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!
@@1234jhanson i assume those seatbelt connections are self explanatory, and i have to reuse the floor mount seatbelt female holsters while discarding the seat mounted ones from the 4runner seats.
I’m about the same height. No problem for me. Maybe very slightly higher. Of course I was sitting in a hole in the old bench seat so….zero regrets so far!
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.
@@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!

Thank You!!!!!! I will be attempting this on my 2008 Tacoma , I got buckets from a 2014 Tacoma.
Did it work ? Got a 07 Tacoma and want to try it with 2011 seats

Thank you for posting this video. This is exactly what I want to do to my 2005 Tacoma.
how did it turn out?

exactly the video I was looking for. my man

Yoo ever figure it out ?
Yep
I want to do this but in reverse! I want bench seats instead of buckets in my 07 tacoma 4s at
any leads for finding a video tutorial?
been waiting for this video for ever!
Great vid! Thanks.

For the center console, did you find bold or screw holes existing under the carpet or did you drill your own?
I drilled self tappers.
Did you ever figure out the wiring for the seat heater? Picking up a pair of seats this weekend
Not yet but I haven’t had a chance to experiment yet. Let me know if you figure it out
Great video. I’m 6’3” tall does this seat create more or less headroom?

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!
Ever do the swap

I have fully completed swap let me know if you have questions.
do tacoma bucket seats fit?
how did you do the brackets/install on the xterra console?
will the tacoma bucket seats work?
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.
@@engineeredchannel5649 thank you.
Hi me friend what car model exactly is this new seats
Did you reused the entire wiring harnnet from the bench, seat to be use with 4runner seats? is the same size connectors?
Yes, reused the entire harness. Plugs are the same
Hi, do you know if these would work on a 2014 tacoma?
Don’t see why not. Exact same cab
