Splain a little...In what way do you mean exactly? OEM? Any type? I've seen some use the OEM seats and rig em up that they swing in and therefore fit three folks and look "stock" retracted but don't know that I've ever seen 3 actual seats in the back.

If you mean "seat 3" then I'll do some searchin for you in the OEM direction. If not, I'll stay tuned as I've not seen it done.

Good luck

PRP can make a custom seat to any dimension you want.

Here is a link to a 40 series with Montero seats in the back. Looks like it could seat 3, but two very comfortably.

Sweet pix...can't say that I've every seen the LX seats as such, but they are nice.

I didn't understand the "three seats" or trying to "seat 3 people".

Do a bit of a search. I have a seat from Tom's Bronco website and it's exactly 41" wide. The distance b/w the 40's wells is 41" ...fits like a glove. There are cheaper places to get the same seat, however. It's in the thread here on mud.

...I'll try to look later if that's what you meant.

Second row seat from a Dodge Caravan.Fab a bracket to fit the in body stock and you end up with a 3 pass bench that slides plus you have quick release handles for fast removal.Drop it on the slab and it rolls to the corner for easy storage.Makes fishing even easier.I used1 1/2" angle with 1/4"Bar stock and it works sweet.Be sure to adjust your elevation so it slides above the rear fender wells and if you run a soft top or no top you can position it front to back so that the forwarard slide doesn't rub a white line in your soft top and with no top it will slide back to about a 1/4" flexed to a stock spare tire. Back out your under carriage with some more angle iron and you won't tear thru if something drastic happens.Pull the trim caps off each end of the seat and you can anchor the outside seatbelt(Lap) and it works great. Rear passengers will ride a little high so I padded my 6 point roll cage but it sure makes it easy to see whitch of my 3 boys is startin the chit.Good luck with it.

can you post a pic of it, sounds like you can still store things under the seat the way you have it?
