    I have not confirmed this yet but just last night I reinstalled my carpet and the back seats on a 2006 double cab . It was getting dark and I grabbed the bolts out of the bin where I had stored all the seat bolts and one of the bolts acted the same as mentioned here. I didnt try to tighten down much and left it alone being it was dark ( light burned out) and was going to finish today. I have yet to check this out but could it be possible there are in fact different bolts with different threads as mentioned
    I will def know later .

    I learned this last night, happily while hand tightening.....
    On this subject, I took my 60% rear seat out to put Katzkinz on last night. Took the seat apart- removed the hinge bolts to remove the bottom seat cushion. When I went to reinstall the two hinge bolts, a piece of hte blue thread locker came off and gummed up the welded nut, hard. I was lucky in that I could get to the backside of the welded nut and run the bolt through that way and doing so pushed the blue plastic gunk out. I knew i wasn't cross threaded (and i wasn't) and it was definitely the blue thread locker compound causing the issue.

    I don't know what the thread pattern on the seat frame bolts are, but a tap is the best advice that I can come up with.

    And why in the hell would one of the four bolts on the 60 seat be different than the other 3?

    So, for those just tuning in...on a crewmax 60/40. The middle front on the 60 bench is the odd bolt. At least that’s what I shoved in there after a few shots.

    I remember having a little difficulty getting the bolts started back in my passenger seat as well after installing an amp under the seat. They weren't the easiest to deal with.

    I actually had a hard time removing that damn plastic trim on the backside of the seat that covers where the seat mounts to the floor. I don't know why but that was a bitch to remove!
