I don't know if I understand. You only want one folding seat? That's exactly what they sell, one at a time. You also by their adapter if you want the seat to face sideways.

I will typically run with just the driver-side rear seat in, facing sideways. It will allow me to carry 4 kids (my two & two more) or let me lay down the right side for larger cargo.
Yep, that's what I wanted to know and do.

Thanks

Are they easy to remove if you need to often? I'm thinking of getting 1 side facing seat but would want to know if I can remove them easily when I have long trips and more cargo and no need for an extra seating.

I have their bench seat. I believe the floor brackets are the same. They are very easy to remove... four bolts leaving cargo area flat.

I've got the side-facing seats. Two bolts remove them. Takes just a few minutes, not quite as easy as the quick latches of a minivan, about as long as it takes to get the freedom top panels off.

My side/rear facing has been ordered, should be here anyday, I hope before Friday, we are going out of town. Would rather take the Jeep instead of the wife's minivan.

What do you estimate the time to install them would be? Just 1 seat.

Question

For those of you who have installed these in Rubicons, what do you do with your subwoofer?

I called the vendor, and the guy that could have told me what to do wasn't there--they just said that "a lot of Rubi owners buy these and they just relocate their subwoofers".

I relocated the sub between the 2nd and 3rd row seats (I installed my 3rd row seat facing bacwards so the roll bar would provide overhead protection. ) Requires lengthening the wires by about 2', but no cutting or drilling required. I'll take pics for you and post them tonight

If you have the seat mounted so it is rear facing you could always leave the lid off the little storage compartment. Give the kids a little more leg room. Seriosly though the seats look good. I have been thinking about these ever since we traded in the wifeys Tahoe on a Grand Cherokee. Neither of us are willing to bite the bullet and get the minivan.
