I keep getting conflicting information about a folding 3rd row of seats (in the vein of the old LR defender fold down seats). This is a Phillipine Montero but am wondering if it was an option in the states? I have seen that a few scrapyards list 90/91s with jump seats. ![[Linked Image]](http://static.flickr.com/62/210903943_643318ea56_o.jpg)

I put the back seat from a SWB into my 89 LWB... with lap-style seatbelts.
The seats face forwards and I only had to drill 2 holes which I used a bolt and nut on. The other bolt holes were there from the original tie-down mounting bolts in the back... that includes bolt holes for the seat-belt mounting bolts.

The jump-seats in that picture look like they're aftermarket.

Sideways facing jump seats are not DOT legal in the USA. Thats why you will never find them OEM.

Is that why the LR Discovery changed their jump seats to forward facing when they went to their Gen II? I thought (or at least assumed) the Ford Ranger & Chevy Colorado eliminated their sideways facing jump seats due to adding the partial rear doors and thus losing real estate to mount them to. Years ago I looked at a non USA SWB Montero that had sideways facing jump seats behind the second seat. Had a NA diesel in it, too. Still kick myself for not buying it!

I forget the exact year they changed the regs. I should have clearified...we had a 67 Country Squire station wagon with sideways fold up jump seats in the back. You just don't survive crashes very well when the sholder seat belt takes out your neck.
