not really, front tabs i had to bend and adjust a little, also had to make the hole on one of the tabs bigger to lign up, then the back i had to make the tabs longer using flat steel, now just i just got to paint the brackets black.

Are the inside holes front and rear already pre-tapped and pre-threaded?

Do you sit higher than a bench?

all the holes are there and threaded, only thing on the tacomas that are equiped with factory buckets the rear inside hole is on the tranny hump, my truck does not have that hole, so i used the seat belt hole on the floor and it was perfect, and i think im sitting about the same in height.

Here is the inside rear brackets i made.

Probably wouldn't support my fat azz.

I'd need to weld in some blocks or something.

K guys now its a complete project, got my bazooka tube mounted in the middle, painted the seat brackets everything is bolted up and looks awsome.

This is due to having a single cab with a factory bench I believe. If you had an XCab with 60/40 seats it would have the hole on the hump. I like your setup. My only suggestion is that you weld a support on the rear outboard bracket. Otherwise, it may eventually bend under your weight and cause the seat to lean outward.

when you say rear out board the rear one near the door or the one towards the middle

Near the door ...

Inboard = Near the centerline of the vehicle
Outboard = Toward the outside / periphery of the vehicle
