Parts for adding jump seats
I’m wanting to add the rear jump seats to my truck and have found a couple guys who are are parting out the 7 seaters. Can anyone tell me what all parts I need to convert mine?
i just want to make sure I get everything I need as there both 4 hours away.

Allot
Brackets, side panels, headrests...
There's mounts that have to be welded into the floor, holes to be drilled and threaded.
I believe there's a difference in suspension and you'll need the rear step that's under the bumper.
It's a mess.
I part out 7 seaters and usually sell just the seats for 2-300. If it were easy I'd have extra seats in mine.

Ok thanks guys, I’ll probably only install 1 seat on the passenger side. I have 3 kids who elbow and fight each other if it’s a long ride. It would help my sanity if I could separate them a bit. 2 are still in boosters so space is premium.
would work great, and you can save yourself some time and money.

No welding needed, all holes are there. I have installed them and just bolted up. One guy I sold a set to told me he had to tap the holes, but I think he was just removing the paint.
Make sure you get the floor brackets. If only installing one side do the passenger side. The driver side has the extra bracket to clear the AC system, this way you can keep your storage cubby on the driver side. Besides the seat belts you need the upper ivory panels the seat belts thread through. There is also a small bracket that bolts to the floor that holds the seatbelt behind the lower cargo panel.

What holes. My and every rover that had the tool boxes didnt have the holes for seats. Been down this road countless times with people...
The seats have to latch into the floor.
If you add this seat, and you get rear ended, the passenger in that seat may die...and it may come back on you because you modified something that shouldn't have been. Same reasons why car seats have expiration dates.
