98 4runner Seat Swap?

[mud4runner]

Hey guys,

Planning on going to the junkyard this weekend to pick up some new seats for my 98 4runner 2wd Base. I currently have cloth but the driver's side foam is completely deterioriated, the passenger side reclining handle plastic trim is broken, and the backseats don't seem to line up properly with the mounting holes.

Found a 97 4runner Limited with mint condition leather seats, front and back. Question is...will it be a straight swap? Is it hard to remove the seats from the front driver and passenger? Will the power seats work? I googled it a bit but all the answers I found seem to be iffy and not concrete. Please help!

direct swap......easy

how about the power seats? is there a manual override until I get the wiring sorted out? I don't want to be stuck in an awkward driving position if there isn't haha(sorry if that sounds like a stupid question, I'm new to this)

No manual over ride. Easy to wire up though. Just make sure to grab as much of the wiring as you can past the plug.
