    So I’m in the process of gathering parts to do a third row seat conversion so my wife’s 2014 limited. I have been seeing a lot of seats listed for 2010-2013 and 2014-2023. Does anyone know if the 2010+ is compatible with the 14+ models ?

    From what I have read 2010 models should be compatible with a 2014 model year.

    I wonder how is the 2nd row situation? Slide forward seats, the step / cover near the 2nd row?

    I got them out of the wrecked 4Runner but could not make them work with the 2nd row. The tilt brackets were completed different mail I just modified the ones I had.

    How did you mount the seatbelt shoulder anchors? I remember when I swapped D-pillars (the only work I've done so far lol) there wasn't an anchoring point like there was on the factory 3-row truck.

    I got a piece of thick flat bar 3inches x1.5 inches and drilled a hole through it. Then welded a bolt to the backside. Then drilled a small hole in the top, tied about a foot of paracord through it then fished it down the top opening. Once I got the holes lined up it easily threaded.
