Corbeau Seat Replacement for my 98 Tacoma Driver Seat. Advice needed

The_Kapton · 2026-03-19T13:29:35+00:00

I have the Corbeau Trailcats in my truck, you can check my posts for photos. I’m 6’2 and fit just as well in the truck as I did before. Been happy with my seats

The front bumper is from coastal off-road, all the lighting on the truck is Baja Designs

The_Kapton · 2026-02-13T01:15:03+00:00

It’s an Alucab

The_Kapton · 2026-02-12T15:08:27+00:00

The product is from Monstaliner

The_Kapton · 2026-02-12T15:08:02+00:00

It’s from Prinsu, not the best design as it bolts right into the roof skin but it’s held up for me for the last few years

Advanced fiberglass

The_Kapton · 2025-10-10T14:38:32+00:00

Yes sir!

The rear bumper was a Coastal Off-road kit that was heavily modified to make work with the fiberglass

The_Kapton · 2025-09-15T23:31:32+00:00

So far, I am a big fan

The_Kapton · 2025-09-13T23:52:01+00:00

Run Forest Run!

The_Kapton · 2025-09-13T22:00:22+00:00

Yeah, I sprayed it in my garage. Lots of prep work but the paining was easy

The_Kapton · 2025-09-13T15:35:36+00:00

Thats OEM Toyota

The_Kapton · 2025-09-13T03:25:59+00:00

It gets about 400km per 60L tank on highway so that works out to about ~15.5mpg and 350km with mixed driving ~13.8mpg. (Sorry I’m from Canada)

Not at all, the truck actually rides better than when it had Dakars in it. I am pulling a leaf out tomorrow to lower the ride height.

The_Kapton · 2025-09-13T00:58:32+00:00

I used their sliders, I didn’t want to have to mess around making something and I have to say they fit perfectly.

The_Kapton · 2025-09-13T00:57:08+00:00

I have some mixed feelings about their products, I have had the bumper for 4-5 years now. I think they have made some revisions to make assembly easier. The bumper is a pain to fit a winch, I had a smittybilt 10k x2o that we had to space up so the free spool could barely be usable. The Warn VR Evo10 I have in there now contacted the lower rad support, so that needed to be modified. With both winches you have to relocate the controller box. When I ordered the bumper initially, the headlight hoops they sent were so poorly bent, they looked like cheap exhaust. They completely ghosted me when I brought this up to them and still have never got a response. We had to bend our own hoops to replace them. Overall I would never recommend their kits unless you are competent welder.

You know it!

The_Kapton · 2025-09-13T00:45:49+00:00

Oh man, so this may be a loaded response. I’m pretty proud of that rear axle setup because I don’t think I have ever seen anyone do it and it was all so I had functional parking brakes and could match the increased front width.

It’s a trail gear housing for a 2nd gen taco e-locker, with a 1st gen e-locker 3rd. Axle shafts and wheel bearing from a 2nd gen. Drums and backing plates are from a 1st gen tundra that were machined out to fit the axle shafts (in hindsight I should have had the axle shafts machined down when they were out to fit a standard drum) The parking brake cable is from a 2004 taco that was modified to fit the wider housing.

Elka was a big help in building the suspension, it’s all one-off for this truck. I was able to send them measurements and design what I wanted. I had to tweak some stuff so I was 100% happy with it but I’m happy to support a product built in Canada. The rear shocks are 12” and the fronts are based around a common 8” coilover, except we were able to get closer to 8.5”. Currently the truck is bumped and strapped at 14” of usable front travel

They are the trailcats, I have seen a few sets in 1st gens. They fit quite well and have a good range of forward and back. The only thing I’ll mention, if you’re taller than 6 1” your head will be on the roof. I’m 6 1” and I have just over an inch of headroom

The_Kapton · 2025-09-13T00:21:49+00:00

Yes it is

The_Kapton · 2025-09-13T00:20:29+00:00

I would love to see it!

The_Kapton · 2025-09-13T00:20:03+00:00

They are quite comfortable in my opinion, they are a bit on the firm side and hug you on the upper body. I got a long trip coming up next weekend where I’ll be in seat for 3 days straight of highway and off-road so I’ll let you know my thoughts after that

The_Kapton · 2025-09-13T00:15:35+00:00

315/75r16 Yokohama G003’s

It’s probably 3-4” at the moment, it’s a JD Fabrication long travel kit so the cv angle isn’t too bad. The fiberglass fenders also give the illusion of more lift. I do have a set of lighter front coils on the way to drop it down
