I just did the celica seat swap a few weeks ago. Took most of the day using some metal brackets from Home Depot. They are better than the bench but I am 6 ft tall and in order to have any recline in the seats I have to slide them forward, reducing leg room.
But, better than the buckets.

So my question to you guys, is there any buckets out there that has a flat bottom and back? Something like this...
but with a head rest of course.

$250.00 ???? are you joking? THATS NUTS!
I paid 50 buckets cash for my two 4runner buckets from the wrecker.
I should also mentioned I tried to put Honda Civic seats in my rig but I found them to be way uncomfortable. The 4runners are comfy and bolt right in. cant beat it for 50 bucks

Here's some of mine. I used seats from a 98 Pathfinder that was in the wrecker. I had a bench and had to drill a couple holes.
The best way to find some seats you'll like is to take some measurements on your truck of the mounting and where the bolts are. I made a rough sketch of how it looked as well and took that info to the wrecker along with my tape measure.
Seats? Who needs seats?
New hotness.
I ripped out the carpet while I was in there and put bedliner on the floor.

I was too tall for my "turbo seats" so i replaced the springs with the exact same size springs but new ones had some give and "spring" in them. I sit about 2 inches lower and dont get thrown into the moon roof when i hit a bump.

I'm also tall, and I installed some buckets from a SR5. And just like you said, you lose leg room. The back rest is thicker than the bench, and because of all the side bolstering , you are pretty much seated in the middle of the seat. It's just too claustrophobic for me. The bottom bolstering makes it higher to get in, less leg room, skinner seat.
So my question to you guys, is there any buckets out there that has a flat bottom and back? Something like this... but with a head rest of course.
