SXS seats maybe?

 

[alec]

I used 89-94 4runner seats in my single cab which sat pretty close to the floor and the back wall and world's better than the bench. I found a second passenger seat and used the bottom foam and cover to redo the clapped out drivers seat.

I’ll keep my eye out for a set, thank you

I had some PRP daily drivers in my 4runner, I’d really like to throw those in there but I think I’d run into the same issue, head hitting the roof haha. Unless I mounted em super low

@Turboyota has his seats mounted to the floor... like as low as you can go. He's a large mammal. He can probably post pictures/a drawing of what he did

Sweet truck. Loved my '84 and '92.

Yo!

Here’s what I did on my extra cab truck:
Forward seat tube is 1.25x0.065” 4130 tied into cagework and stock floor with sickgnar dimpled 0.050” sheetmetal. Nuts welded to seat tabs, forward bolts go inboard toward outboard.


Rear is the difficult area to reach when installing and removing seats, so I put those bolts thru the floor:

Enhance:

Inboard side goes thru the floor and the underside ~0.090” thick stock doubler. I welded a little stub tube to that doubler.


Outboard side has a 3/16” tab welded to the door sill bar and the floor:


These Flat-Shoulder Rod End Bolts are attached to the seat tabs with exorbitantly expensive aircraft hardware, and they allow tilt adjustability at the back of the seat.

@Turboyota thanks dude, I really appreciate it

Most of that seems to be outside the scope of work you’re looking to do on your truck, but maybe an intermediate bracket that’s flat to the floor that interfaces the seat tabs?

Tried throwing some bolt in seats in it, too bad it didn’t work out I’m just too big of a guy . Bench seats back in for now til I find an alternative . I’m open to suggestions haha, my back can’t handle the bench anymoreView attachment 37983

They’re corbeaus, but I didn’t like that new logo either

That’s what I was thinking, I’ll figure somethin out. I appreciate the help

Ive got a clapped-out set of bucket seats out of an 89-95 reg cab truck if youre looking for something cheap (Id definitely plan on taking them to an upholstery shop).

Was fortunate enough to find some blue seats out of a 4runner. Facebook marketplace has been very kind to me lately.
