I finally got around to adding my 3rd row seats in my JK. It took about an hour and a half start to finish.I started by pulling all the carpet up in the back & used bungee cords to hold it back. I then laid the brackets down in the approx. location that they were suppose to be mounted.



Next I positioned the brackets using the measurement provided in the directions, & market where the holes needed to be drilled using a silver sharpie. (Very important to make sure the brackets are exactly squared)



I then used a hole punch to start the holes before I drilled them to make sure the holes were drilled on center.



Then using a small bit I pre drilled the holes, then went up in size to get the holes drilled to the correct size.



I then sprayed rustolem on the holes to try & prevent any rusting.



The kit included Nutserts to install the brackets, but I didn't feel safe doing that so I went out & bought some Bolts, Nuts & washers & used those to mount the brackets to the bed in the jeep. It did require 2 people since one needed to be in the jeep & one needed to be under the jeep to tighten the bolts/nuts. The measurements on the directions were spot on & the bolts all mounted easily.



Next I started putting the carpet back down.





After laying the carpet down I had to take a razor & cut slits in the carpet for the brackets to stick through. I also had to cut down the rear storage panel to allow it to open/close with the new brackets in place.



I then put the 6 bolts into the brackets & added the rear seat. Thats all it was too it.

 

Who made the brackets? I'm not sure how much I would trust the rear seat to stay put in an accident with it mounted to only sheet metal.... Looks like an easy enough install though.

 

Teraflex. It uses a 2 door rear seat

 

Great write up!

What length/size bolts did you go with?

Anything special?

 

All the bolts were included with the mounting bracket.

 

This setup is much nicer than mine. Very nice.

 

Thanks. It works great

 

Looks great! Give us an update! What's your seatbelt solution?

 

What are those brackets worth? There is an 07' rear seat on kijiji close by for 100$. Just seeing what my total cost would be. Thanks.

 

In 0.163 seconds, I found that Teraflex still has them... "Google" teraflex 3rd row seat
