What I love about your channel is you have a project and finish it all the way. Other car channels on here only show pieces or have multiple projects and never complete one. Keep up your dedication and focus!

[@austinniemela]

I appreciate that!

[@maryspeight2840]

Just what I needed to see regarding the seats, just replaced the heater core in my 97 tacoma 3 days ago, and had to pull everything out of the cab. Now I know which seats that will fit. Awesome job. Guy Speight

[@RaulPerez-lf6ii]

You have a shop, a Toyota pickup and a ford diesel? Living the dream mate. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@bushey822]

I got here by looking to build a flatbed for my truck. 3 hours later I watched a total transformation, great work man for real.

[@austinniemela]

Haha thank you man!

[@citabria4804]

This is giving me some interior ideas it looks great!

[@temetka]

This is a great idea. I just picked up a 1991 4 Runner and am building a parts / mod list. The seats reek of smoke and the springs are shot. I never considered a non-OEM seat replacement, but those ones look great. I also love the idea of replacing the center console.

[@tylerclayburn8688]

Technically it is oem just a different toyota lol (scion)

[@beavernut2079]

Down here in Arizona those seats and console would have been easily $250. Prices here in AZ are just going insane which makes it hard to do a budget build. Those look awesome in your truck and thank you for giving the year, make and model.

[@luzbel8740]

In MA $120-200 pero seat $45 Consol Everything getting expensive

[@mattlikesbikes]

Yep, been thinking about these TC seats for my 89 4Runner. Like the slide and flip forward on both of them vs just the pass seat as stock.

[@hooptydx]

You could pull the matching fabric off the tc rear seats and use it to recover the rear fold down seats to match maybe, Ive done something similar.

[@jimmadonna1436]

Love the console. I can't believe that the seats were that clean. Nice work!

[@Odins-Dad]

too bad he's missing the plastic inserts for the cup holders. He's missing out on the experience of having that insert stuck on the bottom of your drink when you get inside lol

[@argeliotomasramos3055]

How much 4 tha truck

[@ShawwwHa]

Watching your videos brings back memories. I almost want to go to a junkyard just to wonder around.

[@driverman252000]

Looking even better, love the seats

[@solosaga5091]

Thanks soooo much! I planned to swap my 60/40 for buckets. Awesome to know of a no weld, almost direct bolt-in option. The search for some nice examples begins...

[@austinniemela]

Glad I could help!

[@robertnilla6845]

nice job my man.. i have a 94 toyota 4 wheel drive with an old bench seat.. you inspired me to get some nice used buckets for my old rig! thanks a bunch.

[@kodyquist]

I love the Tc seats. They’re pretty sporty and support just right

[@ScottsMopar]

Dude, those are the exact same Scion TC seats that I put in my '68 Dodge Dart a few years ago. Great seats, love em.

[@toyotatherapy9685]

Very nice. Awesome how well that center consul fit in there

[@jaybats7865]

Awesome job amazing how you sourced the console and seats from different vehicles.

[@carholic-sz3qv]

That interior is just perfectly done, merry Christmas mate.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks! Merry Christmas!

[@wrmathis2]

i know a little late, but the parts you cut off the seat rails you could have drilled holes into the ridge in the floor board. helps to center the seats. but looks good. the seats look great and the center console matches perfect.

[@elmaddog1978]

Thanks for the idea on the Scion seats, they look great, I had to fab brackets but I'm happy with the results, still haven't found center console yet.

[@groundskeeper5292]

Nice build. Beautiful work on the center console brackets. Been thinking about getting some stiffer buckets for me Taco. Thanks for the info. Gr8 video!

[@gregjohnson4760]

Wow man, those fit perfect, lowkey thinking about getting those seats for my tacoma. Interior coming together real nice, good work!!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!

[@timbales3652]

Nice work,you made it look easy.Now I have an idea on what to look for as far as buckets.Wish I could just send my truck to ya,lol.

[@mikejensen-fogt4662]

2006 jetta seats fit really good and are nice, low and go far back for tall people. im 6 foot 6 and fit great now lol... also have a great bucket shape to them. i rewound my toyota seat belt winders with the webbing from the same jetta so the vw buckles would work. looks factory and the buckle is attached to the seat, not flopping about lol.... the bracket is fairly simple to make too. the vw seat tracks are flat. the toyota pickup floor has about 1/2 or 3/4 of an inch difference from the inboard to outboard bolts. the bracket levels the seat back out....

[@flat6fever680]

Good idea. How do you rewind the seatbelt webbing with different webbing?

[@flat6fever680]

Also, what year Jetta?

[@justbald21]

Great work on the bucket seats and console!! Thank you!

[@johnpyle8027]

Looking good! Hey, I bought one of those Eastwood mini steel circular saw you told me about. Works like a charm! I was scared of the full size one I have and dropping it on my leg-s. I don't do a lot of car stuff anymore but I restored a JD 430 Diesel garden tractor last winter and just built a 60" box blade with scarifiers. Finished it last night and from a seated position in my wheel chair I could see everything and the saw was light, I wasn't scared of dropping it in my lap because it was easy to hold out to the side. So glad I saw that video and appreciate your lead! My next project is a front end loader for the tractor. That will all be cut with my evolution chop saw except the 3/16 plate for the bucket and that little saw will get it done! Thanks again! You helped me keep going and safer!

[@austinniemela]

Awesome I’m glad it worked out!! Thank you!!

[@edbartlett6348]

That JD 430 is a brute of a tractor I drove one, mine had a 3 cyl Diesel always started,im sure yours is a beautiful green beast 👍

[@ralphmendoza4563]

Great idea for the seats, I've been looking for a set of buckets, for my 89 yota, once again great Job, they look great!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@jedidan045]

Console and seats turned out great brother...was glad to see you get some Toyota branded (Scion) seats for it 💥

[@dakotajubie9291]

Love the seats and center console. Need to go find some for my truck now. Been worried about getting some that line up that nice. Too bad sr5 seats are so hard to come by, I love the map pockets

[@dakotajubie9291]

You talked about new steering wheel, which one did you put on the red truck

[@foeloko]

If you’re in Cali more specific the inland empire San Bernardino Redlands Yucaipa and riverside have a great deal of 4runners tacomas and hiluxs in junkyards, I have an 86 pickup And have found decent amounts of parts :)

[@joseglez57]

I'm really impressed on the Scion seats, might as well do that. Thanks for the video!

[@dezfan]

Amazing what $50.00 will get you at the salvage yard! 👍🏼

[@tonyduran4293]

IDK where you live but that is dirt cheap that would run at least 5x more in new mexico for those seats and console at minimum

[@kevinortiz7879]

Paid 100 just for the seats in Sacramento

[@joshymcdaniel9233]

The center console was a good score. Looks like it was made for it.

Awesome upgrade and I love the center console! Great channel look forward to your uploads!

That center console fits perfectly in there.

[@saebbi]

Pretty good man! I've got WRX Subaru seats in my pickup, in fact 3 out of 4 bolt holes line up perfectly and you just modify the one mount (front inside)

[@alfredobrown]

What year WRX?

[@saebbi]

@@alfredobrown 2005

[@alfredobrown]

@@saebbi thanks!

[@logancase2683]

Curious on the verdict of the 4th bolt, did you need to through bolt or did everything line up after bending the front brackets? Awesome video the truck is looking good!

[@bjspitfire13]

I pulled same seats out of an 05 Scion xB. Glad they are able to install with ease. still have to get to that end in the project by truck, 83 pickup

[@Brettisgg]

I have an 05 tc and have wanted better seats for my 98 tacoma. snagged some clean 09 tc seats for $50 at the upull. looks like the inside bracket is perfect and the outside bracket will need holes front and back. thanks for the idea, the tC seats are comfy. can tell they are better than the taco seats just by their weight.

[@austinniemela]

Sweet! I like mine but they sit pretty tall in the toyota!

[@zachbredeson7976]

I would have sent the seat on the back set of holes and made a little l-bracket to bolt in the position of the front mount with a welded bolt sticking vertical and bend the bracket up in flat and bolt it down and then you're able to game a couple inches backwards for legroom by using the Back original holes

[@flat6fever680]

No idea what you just said but sort of makes sense to use the back holes for more room.

[@fishermanmitch1]

putting buckets in my 82 Toyota pickup tomorrow. Nice job.

[@scottblake6850]

Seat n everything looks awesome! Can't wait to see the next video

[@ThisOldYota]

Scion seats look great! Cup holders where they should be..... Great job!

[@wesleyfuruya3659]

I am contemplating swapping out my bucket seats for a bench (maybe a 60/40??? if I can find one). Currently, its kind of rough squeezing a 3rd or 4th large adult into the back seats and I thought the bench seat might be a more comfortable solution. What didn't you like about your bench seats? I kind of wish I had seen this sooner... and we could have swapped seats and console. Though, those other seats are probably 5x more comfortable with the lumbar support and other adjustments.

[@nathankoroush7918]

Build is coming along great.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!

[@3.0colorado21]

Sweeeet! I have been looking for seats but the price tag on the PRP’s I want have been holding me back. These look pretty good man!

[@h.a.t.5321]

Your patience and attention to detail is incredible. Everyone is in such a rush that they half ass the work but not you. Maybe you have Japanese ancestry.

Thanks for the video bud! Bought my '93 Hilux brand new and is still my DD. That's no surprise considering the reputation of the 22RE am I right?! This project inspired me to do the same. Thanks once again.

Wished we had a pull n save junk yard here in Alaska

[@colebz420]

Is the "pillar" or ridge across the floor where the mounting points of the seats touch, level left to right? Unlike the tacoma where one side is an inch higher? Installing same seats right now in my truck. Thanks for the vids!

[@johncrump8061]

Outstanding working you're doing. I enjoy watching & learning from all of your videos. I have a question. I have a 1995 Toyota Pickup DX Model with the Extended Cab. And I've found a set of 50/50 Bucket Seat that came off of a 2004 Toyota 4Runner. Will those work with my truck? Thanks

[@geographyinaction7814]

I have never heard of Pull and Save. Where I live in Canada, you go to an auto-wrecker and pay through the nose for parts that are all removed, cleaned-up and sold off of the shelf. The whole idea of walking in and taking the parts yourself, is an insurance nightmare here, so you can't. What a great idea that is, go to the wrecker with a toolbox!

[@64jazdude]

Just found your channel last night. Watched your bumper builds & love the interior project!

[@austinniemela]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@keyvoz]

Hi! I want to congratulate you, because you are a Great Genius of transformation and restoration !!! In my quest to restore a 92 4x2 Toyota Hilux Pickup, looking for information I found your channel, which has given me new ideas. and what really surprised me is your ability to manufacture everything that comes to mind, bravo! you are a genious!!! I saw how you made a "Bumper", you look fabulous ... my respects !!! What if I have not seen is the rear bumper, so if you have the plans you could go up to the page and thus be able to buy it. I greet you from Chile, hope you keep uploading Videos for all of us who are your followers. A strong hug in the distance!!!

so the rear bolt holes on the Tc seats didn't need any modification? Did they line up perfectly?

[@anuanuruddha631]

Just $50 for all 3? Wow! For the steering try to secure a 91 or 92 Paseo Steering wheel. Those are thick and 3 spoke. If you can, get a 2nd gen 4runner instrument cluster that has 2 more gauges (oil & charging). Truck is looking good day by day!!! There is a separator inside the rear lens. Do you have it? You can buy OEM parts from partsouq.com.

[@jakewashburn4426]

I love the new seats they look really comfy also the center consul especially since the center consul will give the passengers if you ever have passengers in the back cupholders since the stock one doesn’t have cupholders in the back which I don’t believe it does but then again I only have a single cab first Tacoma . Have you ever thought of instead of making brackets in such for the new seats could you just take the ones off of the stock Toyota seats and just put them on the new seats unless that’s too much of a hassle to do and not really worth it

[@austinniemela]

Too much work to mount them to the new seats! Thank you!

[@Batryoperatedbob]

Hey man how's it going. I just tried to fit these seats in my single cab and I find that they sit very far outboard compared to the OEM seats. The height is fine (I'm short) but the adjustments and levers are basically against the door panel! Did yours fit any different?
