Will '97 jump seats fit in a '94?
My guess is yes, but just checking.

If a salvage yard is pulling these, are there specific parts I need to make sure the get?
I am asking for all the mounting brakcets and bolts, and the shoulder belts, mounts and bolts.
What about the center-floor loops?

thx

You might look and see if the loops are already there. My '94 came with jump seats and I thought they were standard equipment in '94.

Thanks Lee N !

You came through here and on the ECU question.

Made an offer on the '94. Prices on 4D56 imports has gone up though. It will be summer before I'm started if all falls into place.
Just happened accross the jump seats and know I want them, so thought it was worth getting now.

thanks,

Right, 94 was first in US with 3rd row. I also know that the 3rds on our 98 will fit the 95. I can't believe there'd be a problem with 97 fitting 94.

I had a dealer install 3rd row into my '92. I do not have the floor loops. I've never put the belts in either. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> I've got an extra set of 3rd row seats.

Any way we can get those jump seats that face eachother like they have in the disco. I think OTEP posted up pics of that and it actually came in a Pajero/Montero. How can we get those here? just curious <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I doubt NTSA, or whoever, would pass them here for safety. I mean, we don't have anything that has troops seats. Save for some older vehicles. Seat belts aren't going to do much for those in either a head on or rear-ender.

97 3rd-row seats should fit in earlier Gen-II's as long as the seat latch bars are in the floor and the fender well tops have the mounting brackets (you'd have to pull the plastic fender well covers to check).

Fitting the Gen-II seats to a Gen-I could be done, but, not without a lot of work.

The Gen-I tie-down loops in the floor are not the same as the Gen-II seat latch bars, nor are the wheel well shapes the same for mounting the seats. The Gen-II seat latch bars are towards the center of the floor and recessed in small wells below the floor. The Gen-II wheel wells are taller and the mounts for the seats are welded fittings on top of the wheel wells. If you were going to salvage some Gen-II 3rd-row seats to mount in a Gen-I, you would probably want to cut out the fender well mounts with a torch to try and re-use, or, use as templates for fabbing some new mounts.

If you'd want to have the seats fold up as in the Gen-II's, you'd have to fabricate seat latch bars and mounting brackets for the wheel wells. Could be done, but, not a trivial bolt-them-in project <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />. It might be easier to fabricate a frame to mount the seats more permanently in the down position. But then access to the seats would be more difficult (the Gen-II split 2nd row seats slide forward for access to the 3rd row) and you'd have a more permant loss of rear storage space. Take a look at MontyMcV's project: MontyMcV 3-rd row seats

Here's a shot of the back of a '90 Gen-I:


Here's a '97 Gen-II. The latch bars are recessed in small wells in the floor.

Just to add my 2c, I put in new 6x9 speakers last night on my '93. Both fenderwells have the upper brackets under the plastic trim. I don't have the middle floor loops, but those could be added easily. Looks like the US Gen IIs had the brackets before they actually started coming to the US with jumpers.
