Replacement side panels for scheel-mann seat mounting systems installed in 2nd and 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, and 4th Gen 4Runner platforms.
 
Each Tolerance Stack seat mounting kit ships with both driver and passenger side panels. These replacement panels are offered individually for situations where the original panels have seen wear, damage, or modification over time.
 
Overview
These side panels serve both a functional and aesthetic role in scheel-mann seat installations.
They conceal mounting hardware and wiring associated with the seat installation, creating a finished, OEM-style appearance, while also providing a flat, rigid surface suitable for mounting small accessories.
 
Accessory mounting capability
Both driver and passenger panels feature a flat exterior surface suitable for mounting accessories such as:
Flashlights
Small fire extinguishers
Knives or tools
Compact first-aid kits
Emergency flares
(Fire extinguisher and mounting hardware not included.)
A felt backing is applied to the rear surface of each panel to prevent rubbing or abrasion against the seat rail assembly.
 
Vehicle-specific fitment
Although the panels may appear visually similar, each is vehicle-specific. Minor differences in seat configuration, floor geometry, and mounting orientation require unique panel designs for each supported platform.
 
The goal is for the finished installation to look intentional and integrated, not universal or adapted.
 
Construction and finish
The panels are laser cut from 3/16-inch aluminum, providing sufficient thickness for:
Drilling and tapping directly into the panel
Clean accessory mounting without requiring access to the rear side
After cutting, the panels are deburred and tumbled to achieve a refined surface finish. This process was chosen over sharp CNC edge finishing to produce a softer, more OEM-appropriate appearance.
 
Each panel is laser marked using a fiber laser to create a subtle, tactile logo. The marking depth is designed to be visible without appearing overly bright or decorative.
 
The panels are then black anodized, providing corrosion resistance and a durable, uniform finish.
 
Manufacturing philosophy
These panels are designed to be functional first, visually clean second, and understated by intent. Branding is present but restrained, allowing the panel to blend into the vehicle interior rather than draw attention.
