I've had these R1 seats sitting in my 3rd gen 4Runner for the past year at least. Someone on FB marketplace was looking for a set of seats and was okay with not having the brackets. I gave them the choice of the leather or the R1 style and they went with the lower cost option. I decided to tackle the swap first thing after work so I wouldn't cop out of doing it later in the week due to laziness.










It took 2 hours but was pretty straight forward. I only f'd up one of the bracket bolts but the rest of them bolted up to the seat just fine. I'll have to rethread it down the road but otherwise looks fine. I'm just glad to get rid of that 90s leather smell that was plaguing my interior ever since I put the leather seats back in. I still prefer the base cloth seats, this material feels thin and seems like it won't hold up to my heavy weight. My guard dog got tired and took a nap towards the end.







While cleaning up the garage, I messed around with the TE37SLs and tried them on. The color is definitely a bit loud for a stock body FD. Not sure if I want to leave them or paint them a more subdued color. They would be tucked more if it weren't for the 275 wide tires. I'll eventually get them on the car once I find the right front set of tires. For now back into storage they go. At least the garage is cleaner after the organization.
