The completed install for @resman.93 in his @truckhouse.co 2022 Tacoma manual access cab. This rig was an absolute dream to work on. No b-pillars to get in the way. It felt cavernous.

There is so much more to yet report about our tiny part of the build. In this setup you can see that the uncomfortable OEM Tacoma seats have been 86'd and @scheelmannusa #VarioF seats have been installed in their place. Nothing beats the ergonomics and orthopedics of a Vario seat.

This TruckHouse Tacoma got driver and passenger black leather seats with the #Klima heating and cooling package. This meant going the next step and doing all the wiring to make the OEM seat heater switches play nice but also to have the Klima switches blend in (more on that later).For our part, seeing the culmination of all of our hard work come to fruition is amazing. We spent a good 12hrs…

On this 2022 powered and factory heated driver seat out of a TruckHouse.co build, we go into the details in removing both the seat rails and the harness dissection in order to repurpose those parts for the install. of the Tolerance Stack mounting system.

Love it when customers send us installation pics and are happy with their install and overall experience. This customer out of Washington made the driver side upgrade using the Tolerance Stack kit to mount his scheel-mann Vario into his 2023 Tacoma TRD. He was able to locate his own manual seat from a junkyard which meant he didn't have to tear apart his own driver seat. Just an additional Driver’s Seat Position Sensor Conversion Jumper Harness was all that was needed in addition to our kit. 

When designing the mating interface between your Toyota truck/SUV and the scheel-mann Vario F seats, Tolerance Stack is content playing the unobtrusive go-between.

When deciding on a seat upgrade, it's usually a defining moment right?• My back hurts, time for better seats?• I can't do long trips anymore because of my back.• Back surgery, no riding in the truck for me anymore.• These seats are ugly smell funny, and are ripped.

• These OEM seats are horrible.• I'm about to sell this truck the seats are so bad.

Now that's settled, its time to research seats right? Keep it simple because there is only ONE compamy even making an all-in solution for your Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, or 4Runner. That is where Tolerance Stack comes in and with the task of staying out of sight, playing nice with Toyota and scheel-mann, and just getting it right the first time.

We know it can be a very difficult decision; on one hand you are thinking that someone somewhere REALLY wants your clapped-out, sweat-soaked, butt-dented seats. That's real money, cash. Or you can take a chainsaw (or preferably a socket wrench) to your old, torn seats and upgrade them to a set of scheel-mann Vario F, with an assist by Tolerance Stack, to FINALLY give your sore back some love.

Sacrificing your original Tacoma seat by removing components for the Tolerance Stack mounting system does mean you likely won't be able to resell it as a complete unit. To determine if this is a worthwhile trade-off, let's consider a few factors:

Resale Value of Your Current Tacoma (or FJ Cruiser or 4Runner) Seats:

• Used car parts, including seats, can have some value on the secondary market. The actual value depends on several factors: Condition, Mileage, Trim Level, Demand, Completeness.

• You could…

We are specifically looking at the passenger side right now because there is more into the wiring bundles than the driver side.

Under the factory heated, but non-powered, passenger seat you have the “always yellow” SRS/airbag connector. ANYTIME you are even considering removing this plug you MUST disconnect the battery ground and wait for 90 seconds per the Toyota factory FSM. This means even if you are removing the seat just to give the carpet a good cleaning, the battery gets disconnected.

To the right is the Load-Cell Array/Seat-belt connector. This is the connector that connects all four load-cells only found on the passenger side with the seat-belt connection info.

Next over is the occupancy sensor computer which basically takes strain calculations from the load-cell array and sends that info to the truck computer thru the seat-belt/occupancy sensor harness.

To the right of that is the Seat Heater Computer. Only…

We had the absolute honor of doing a @tolerance.stack and @scheelmannusa install for @resman.93 in his absolutely glorious @truckhouse.co 2022 Tacoma build. Promise there will be many posts focusing on this Tacoma's seat upgrade adventure. More to come.

Techstream refers to Toyota's factory diagnostic and reprogramming tool, allowing technicians to access vehicle data, troubleshoot issues, and reprogram ECUs, and is available in both full and "Lite" versions. This quick write-up assumes either you, your installer, or technician has access to Techstream.

When you are removing the OEM, computer calibrated passenger seat, with an upgraded aftermarket seat, you must get the seat's weight to the same as you are taking off. With the Tolerance Stack mounting system the solution is built-in. With addition of washers under a tensioned spring you can calibrate by adding washers to adjust the pressure of the spring.

If its determined that you need to use Techstream to accomplish the zero-point seat calibration, simply follow along with the written instructions found here: https://www.tolerance-stack.com/technical or follow along with this video:
