    Hey Guys!
    Does anyone know if 4th gen seats will work on a 1st gen? I have an 86 that the seats are toast and have the option to pick up some out a 08 for pretty good price but wanted to check if anyone knows if they will work?
    Thanks!

    They will not bolt right in but that doesn't mean you can't make them fit.

    Break out the welder, grinder and cutting wheel and anything fits.

    Well the seats bolt holes don't line up at all but I'm pretty sure I can make them work. The only thing I didn't take into account was that these seats don't fold forward allowing somone to get in the back seat. They only fold straight up so I pulled the grinder out and did some modification to the seat to get them to fold a little more forward so looks like I'll get them to work. After I get these mounted I am wanting to install an 1000 or 1500 watr inverter in the cargo area for camping and such. Anyone know of a good brand to go with?
