Try some web surfing for pics. They are out there in other markets...

Well, here a few pics of a sideways bench.





This is about as minimal a bench as you will find. When I sat in it, my feet stuck out over the halfway mark. You'd have to have people sitting opposite each other literally alternate there leg placement.

I can see why these are used in troop situations: Troops can't tell you to go hang yourself.

If the Raider were 6" wider, it would probably work. As it is, I wouldn't put my family back there.

I have the first gen LWB and see no problem with space for three. When you find that still a problem then install the two rear seats. As far as I know the First Gen have two rear seats. At least all I have seen here in Europe. In the states I do not know. I can fit up to seven beef eaters with no problem.

No third rows in a Gen I in the US. None it Gen II until 94.

WagonMaster, don't you wnat to go with a third row bench?

Are you sure?

Can't fit a 3rd row in a SWB. At least, I wouldn't put anyone I care about into any 3rd row that would fit in a SWB.

As I've been saying, though; the Gen I LWB would easily accommodate a thrid row, including shoulder belts. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Somebody should check under the carpet of their Gen I LWB and see if there are weld-nuts for the seat brackets to bolt into. If not, then this probably wasn't a US option. My pics of Burtha, while not specifically focused on that area, don't look like there is a bolt down location in the area of where the seat tracks are.

If it uses the tie-down points, the bolts are 2mm smaller in diameter than the seat bolts. Not that the seat would break free in a crash and kill all the occupants in the entire vehicle forward of the rear seat (which has intigrated seatbelts which will go flying with the seat). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

I'm just saying that the bolts are smaller. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

And the fold-down aspect won't work with the rear hatch closed. Look close at the picture and you'll see that the entire backrest sits further back than the rear bolt-down location. The tie-down points are at the very rear of the vehicle.

I can't say for sure that this isn't legit, but if it is, it sure is a bad design. This actually looks more like someone took a 3rd row seat from a Caravan and built their own brackets to make it fit a Gen I.

If so, they get props for creativity, but slapped in the head for execution. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Well, I just call the person who has it for sale. He said it was an option from Mitsubishi and there are hole for the tracks to bolt up to. The nuts are welded to the floor on the underside.
I'd check my Monty, but it still has the bed in place. Alway ready for an overnighter, fishing or off road trip. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Been a long day of raking in the cold with flurries and a storm coming. I'm running a little stupid. I thought this was on you LWB...

As for SWB and jumpers, I picked up a set from the back of a Ranger. They are pretty neat and have the lap belts (not 3-point) already built in. It set them in though and they sit too high. They could be reworked, but I think that the time that would take is not worth it. I'll build some that fit exactly the way I want.

You know, not that you post that, I remember finding it myself. Don't know how I did, given the distance from me...???
