Seat Swap Research Begins...

Now that I'm almost done with exterior mods (high clearance attachments finally installed) its time to look at seats. Despite my love for Recaro seats they're too freakin expensive so I've been eyeing a set of Sheel-mann Vario R XXL. For those interested in replacing your own seats I reached out to the company, who put me in touch with a retailer and heres what he had to say. And yes, i originally asked about the Traveler LR seats.

"There is only one company I am aware of that makes an adapter for you rig: Planted Technologies. These adapters work with the Scheel-Mann flat sliders. This is the only part that is vehicle specific. Any of the seats will fit in your vehicle since the 4Runner has so much room. Traveler LR base is $1399 and goes up from there depending on added on options and covering option. This will be about a 10 week lead time depending on Toby's
stock.
The only thing that is a speed bump would be the airbag system in the seats. The true speed bump is the occupancy sensor in the passenger seat. Toyota has a fascination with 4 post weight sensors as their OCS. These will need to be
transferred and integrated into the adapt bracket. **This is only if you plan on doing both driver and passeneger** The next little bit is transferring the rest of the wiring harness for the distance sensor and seatbelt receptacle. Last piece is
bypassing the side airbags that are built into the seats themselves. This is bypassed with a simple resistor soldered in line with the wires right at the plug. This will trick the vehicle into thinking the airbags are still there and keep the SRS
system still active"


I'm 6'4 240, so the stock seats drive me absolutely insane, especially after driving the M3 for a few days and then switching back. the 4Runner is pretty much a perfect utility vehicle in my opinion but damn if they didn't take some serious cost saving measures in terms of comfort. More to follow, Cheers.
