    After much searching found some super good seats(Scheel Mann) with Dual Locking Sliders. ordered Seat Brackets from Wedge(learned from a Forum member) which look super strong and have Provision for Seat Belt receptacle. Now I am left with finding solution for seat occupancy sensor . Have scoured the Forum trying to see if people replacing seats with aftermarket
    rewire seat occupancy sensor to always be on. Saw an article about seat replacement in a late model FJ Toyota that showed a Hewitt switch and wire kit to turn on and off (not applicable). We always wear our seat belts so would not turn off. Have considered finding airbag repair/Replace tech to do this but none of them locally do customer work (body shops ,etc.) wholesale only. My seats do not have side air bags which should make this less complicated. Tried you tube. Probably should buy Toyota Tundra repair manual from dealer so have proper wiring diagram.
    Any input on this would be appreciated.

    After serious searching thought had found kit for Passenger seat occupancy bypass (emulator) Read FJ posts several that gave me two companies that sold this item. However when I went to buy they said they do not have and have not had for a couple of years. That puts a serious crush on my just plug in module and go as this would not interfere with my passenger airbag deployment. That way I probably would avoid any static from my insurance company
    If I got in a collision. I will have to rethink the process as some of the posts I saw on the FJ forum said they would only install the Drivers side and pass on the passenger side .The reason i bought the seats was to enjoy the ride on BOTH sides. Will continue to scour the Toyota Forums and see what I find. Will post if I find a solution. Thx

    too bad I don`t have BMW mercedes Mazda audi Pickup -They all have high quality Passenger seat occupancy sensor emulators (DKL-Poland and Cynetic)
    they go all the way back to late 80`s. Guess they change a lot of seats out over there. Told them there are LOTS of people looking for that product here. And their Government restrictions are a lot stricter. Told them they need to get on the job and make some. Waiting to hear back from them. Also asked if they might know an Asian company (Japan/Soth Korea ) that might have them.

    Florida Step Side Owner, were you ever able to find a solution for your Scheel Mann Seat installation? I have a set of Scheel Man seats for my 2003 Tundra 4.7L 4x4. Spent all day looking for any information about the sensors and wiring under the passenger seat. Hope to get on the drivers seat tomorrow. Any information update would be very helpful, many thanks!
