Greetings ~
~ Literally, about a few days after purchasing my 2018 TACO, I removed the back seats, leaving the rear cargo storage areas.
~ This was done out of necessity and for storage of my wheelchair.
~ in the process, working together with a friend, we made a rail system, so that my chair would be placed securely while I was driving and it works great.
~ The system gave me 2 different options for transferring the chair from the TACO and making it much easier (for me) to do with fewer steps.
~ This also makes it easier for those friends, to transfer the chair to/from the TACO, without making it a hassel for them or for them to - "take down" - the chair and learning a new method as its pretty straight-forward.
~ its been about several months since then and its working like a charm without any issues.
Sounds like you guys got pretty creative! 😀👍 Could you email me some pics of the rail system?
Great idea, I also would like to see the pics. My mom's walker wheel got tangled with the wheelchair and deformed. The chair is getting beaten up too.
This video was very helpful. My husband removed the back seat of his Tacoma and after he passed away I had no idea how to replace them until I came across your video. Thank you so much for such a wonderful video.
I'm sorry to hear your husband passed but glad the video was able to help you out.
Race cars have no back seats, your truck has no back seats - your truck must be a race car.
I live my life a 1/4 of a mile at a time. For those 25 seconds I'm free.
Excellent video . No bs , ranting , rambling , just 1-2-3 done . great job.
Much appreciated!
GREAT! you made a change I wasn't even aware I Could make. Now that I can't Un-see that, I'll have to figure out "why" I should do it..... Darn you and your great videos 😁😀
Great video and save by helping me locate those hidden bolts under the cover. Appreciate these videos!
This is actually an awesome idea, I think if I had a 4 door taco I would do the same thing, I love having more room for tools and gear too!!
Heck yeah buddy! I'm actually thinking of leaving the back seats out permanently.
Best Tacoma channel on TH-cam Thanks 🙏
Thanks man!
Enjoy your videos. I have access cab 2015. Thought I was hearing to much noise behind the driver and passenger seat (used phone app for cab sounds/decibles). Pulled all and used sound deadening material. Found no sound deading material (OEM) behind front seats or rear wall. Sealed all with deadening material (added a bit of wt). Tape used on any open holes that weren't threaded. All threaded bolts in place especially if leads to out side. Improved 2-3 decibels. Still hear a bit of noise (? if I should build a cover below cab that covers the gap between cab and bed....may get rid of lower road noise). I also created a rear deck instead of returning jump seats (which allows access to toyota storage) but gives me two levels of storage with large flat area (good for cooler). Also cut holes in deck for large (34-64 oz) Hydro flasks (to prevent rolling around in back). I do pull the deck on occasion and replace jump seats (half hour conversion with 15 bolts).
I'm curious to see how much of an improvement the sound deadening material will add.
Thanks brotha!
Good spot for a refrigerator.
It would be awesome. If you could give the space measurement once the seats are out.
Thanks
I had to do this to install my 2 10” JL w1v3’s. I left the foot brackets for the seats attached and left the seats as one and man are they hard to bolt back in
I'm going to look at and likely buy a 2008 Tacoma in the next few days, and I wanted to know if I could remove JUST the rear driver's side seat so I can fit my sub there better. Glad to know it's not only possible, but easy. Thanks!
Yes you can! Been awhile since I removed my seats, but IF the smaller driver side is connected to the passenger side it should just be a few bolts to detach.
How far back does the front seat recline now? .. Great video.
Great channel! Do you have an idea when you want to do the sound deadening mod for the area behind your rear seats?
Thanks Trevor! I plan on doing the sound deadening behind the seats this week. 👍
Givitalittlejiggle.
Thanks for the video! I'm considering a storage conversion. Are there any prefabed options for this?
Thanks buddy! I haven't see any prefabed options yet.
What kind of cell phone mount do you use?
Greetings Matt! It's a "ram mount" setup discussed in my vid linked below and you can find all of the parts needed in the that video's description: th-cam.com/video/QwmxBYjjnpc/w-d-xo.html
also I have to aftermarket racing seats that match my truck very well they're universal seats do you have any suggestions or ideas on how to install them.
I'm thinking about buying another pair for the rear so I can have for matching seats
As long as they fit in the location the seats, you will need to replace the factory seat bracket with one that works for your Tacoma AND the seats in question.
Do you have a video to remove 2011 4 door Tacoma front seats. Thanks
No but it's really easy. Just remove the bolts holding the seat to the floor/bracket, then disconnect any airbag plugs beneath the seat. It's easiest to fit through the door opening when the seatback is folded forward as far as it will go.
So much more room for activities
Nice man. My Tacoma dont have the factory seats anymore. Front seats I replaced with the seats from my friends wrecked 2013 Dodge Viper GTS, the rear seats are being replaced with an old fashioned bench seat from my sister's 69 GTO.
Sweet, what year is your Tacoma?
@@Tacomaholic 2012 TRD Sport, i figured it would look awesome with new seats. The outside is the nice 2012 exclusive paint. The Spruce green with the gold pearlesent coating. So I'm trying to make it a nice show truck. I don't really use it for offroading. She is my daily driver
Could you send me a pic showing off those Viper seats?
@@Tacomaholic id be interested in seeing those seats too !
Tacomaholic I’d like to see them Viper seats as well!
Hello, I just happen to see your Headlight, Is that a Halo, Oracle RGB, or Demon/angel light? Where did you order from? Thanks
Hey buddy! Yes it's a halo that has a ton of colors/options. They were custom made.
Have you tried having the seats installed but leaving the storage panels out? The storage panels look like they take up a lot of space just to look pretty. I wonder if it’s possible to get more storage space in there, while still leaving the seats in for use.
I haven't tried that yet, but there are sweet molle panels you can replace those storage panels with which greatly increase your storage capacity back there.
I took mine out years ago, still out. Use caulk to cover/fill bolt holes.
What bed rack do you have on your Tacoma? It looks really nice.
This is from KB Voodoo. The racks are nice but that company has plenty of powdercoating issues.
Hey man if u got a moment couldnt u commemt me a link to the same lift kit u got with everything?
Greetings Zach! Here's a link to the kit I'm running (SPC Upper Control Arms, front 5100s, 887 spring, dakar packs): www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p312/Coil%2FBilstein_5100_Kit_w%2F_Dakars_%28HS05BK-1-Dakar%29.html the only difference is I'm running the extended travel rear 5100s.
I’ll be taking mine off tomorrow!!!!!
What project are you pulling the seats out for?
Tacomaholic Less weight, more room for tools and naps when traveling
3:52 Can you remove the larger passenger side seat without removing that bolt for the seat belt? I plan to put the seats back on, I just want to remove them so that its easier to install Clazzio seat covers on the rear seats.
If I remember correctly that bolt has to come out to get the seatback out since there's no way to remove the seat belt from it.
@@Tacomaholic Thanks im going to install the seat covers this weekend and I wanted to do research on the best way to install them. Next week hopefully I can take my truck to get wrapped in paint protection film.
Was wondering if you removed the passenger seat along with the back seats, what the length is from passenger feet area to the back wall? Was wondering if I could make a bed there?
I did a quick measurement and have 85" from the footwell in front of the passenger seat back to my rear wall molle panel so plenty of room to sleep if you add enough padding.
@@Tacomaholic Thanks! Im 6' so was wondering. Ya enough room cool. Thinking I cot mattress would work well. Then I can put a cooler behind the drivers seat. Then put a double slide window through the back window and cap window to grab canned food or whatever.
Do you recommend doing the sound deadening in the back even with the back seats in place?
The seats do a great job of insulating sound coming through the back of the truck, so if you plan on keeping the seats in I'd recommend sound deadening the doors and headliner before the back wall.
Tacomaholic thank you!
I don't have the truck yet, but is there any reason you couldn't remove the smaller seat and seat back from behind the driver? Would it look like garbage? I would love to be able to able to access those storage units without wrestling with the seat every time.
Yeah you can do that. A buddy of mine did that to make room for a fridge.
tacomaholic can you please help me!
I'm trying to install individual seats in the rear to make a little bit of space between the driver side and the passenger side I want to install subwoofers and I want to have an exposed subwoofer in the middle is there anyway I can install single seats and the back do you have any suggestions
That's a tough one. The jump seats from a Tacoma access cab might work, but I have no idea if the mounting area would line up with anything on the floor.
@@Tacomaholic you should do a video on universal seats one day that would be really cool.
only when you figure it out
@@Tacomaholic you should also do a video on the urd throttle body conversion with the 5.7 tundra throttle body
I thought I had found my soulbro, with such a fly taco and helpful video, we had to be friends...
But then, I saw the horrible, awful, no-good, very bad decal on your window.
Disappointment.
Then indifference. Thanks for the video!
At least he’s not an Aggie!
My rear seats are gone, replaced with goose gear.
Nice. Always loved that setup but couldn't justify the price.
I Can’t wait till my girl gets a little fatter 😥
I’m doing the same on my truck I have like two boxes of sound deaden matts
Soon when I have time though cuz that thing takes time to lay down lol
How much space do you now have?
Looking to able to fit my mountain bike (front wheel removed) for safety and more space for the dog without having to clean the seats constantly
Removing the rear seats added about 6-8" of space.
If you get a molle panel for the back can I have your storage bins?
Kuntrykid
Hmm, I'll think about it. 😀
“Weight reduction” ~buys rooftop tent~
I want to remove my backseats and replace the area with some storage organization system. My wife hates the idea, but 99% of the time, the only thing that lives in my backseat are just tools and STUFF.
I'm thinking of doing something similar maybe with lightweight plywood and then put some speaker box carpet over it to clean it up.
I took out my storage and put in a sub box
Nice! Are you running a single or dual subs?
Tacomaholic I’m running 2 10s. I don’t think it’s enough space to do 12s
I put in 3 10's. Two behind the passenger rear and one behind the driver rear. All in one box too! There is a little room in between to store an extra jacket and first aid kit.
Where will my kid sit ??? 🤷♂️
Ha ha yeah this is only an option if you never use the back seats. 😀
If I tell you I love your channel and it’s premium content after each video I watch , will you send me some free schwag 😁
Hmm it certainly wouldn't hurt your chances. 😀
Touché
Don't loose those seats, they are expensive to replace from Toyota!
Ha ha yeah I bet Toyota would charge $1000 to replace them. I'll keep them tucked away safe in my dungeon ... err, my basement. :)
To be honest they are more closer to 5 to 6k to replace those seats. When we had the fires up here in Northern Ca., we had people that had taken their seats out of their trucks or suv's and van's for one reason or another and had stored them in the garage. When the houses went up in flames the seat where in the garage and the seats went bye bye. What kills me is that Toyota doesn't sell the seats as an whole assembly, we have to piece it together and it adds up. I've had to do several price quotes for insurance company's for the cost of replacement seats and that wasn't fun! Don't let anything happen to those babies!
Crazy pricing.
Why am i watching this video ? Yesterday i was bringing a rat home from the pet store for my rattlesnake , pull in the driveway , behind the front seat i pick of the bag with the box with the rat , guess what ,, the bag is way too light ...
Yikes!
I pulled the bottom of the seats off for around six months or so. It’s still never going to accommodate my tools setup so I put them back for any girlies that wants to go off roading faw faw always from peoples ,.......... yeah.... still would have to have the side doors open and front seats forwards and even then. Oh wait, there’s a bed in the back. Suspension Check🗣
Front seat all the way back is a confirmed can do , but still gotta have the windows down ☁️
It gets kinda stuffy, and fast ha
I can’t jerk around anymore though with all the hell that I’ve been through, I have to get my cummins back rollin coal again. Let the Aircraft Carrier do the heavy work and the TRD Missile seek & destroy the forest.......... trails
