CCOT wouldn’t sell it for the past 10 yrs if it didn’t. But since I havnt done it I can’t talk. But what I’ve heard is that it fits so perfectly - it’s like it was made for a 40

Does nobody know which bracket works best with the trailmax 2 rear? There’s lots of different choices and I’m just curious if one is better than the other, or if one works and one doesn’t … I need to purchase bracket first to see how the install will go with my long range gas tank in the back below the tub.

Hi Kyle - Attaching a few pictures of how I've installed my trailmax. Also in San Mateo CA if you want to see it 'live'.
Wow that’d be great - nice of you to offer. From your picks I can see what I need but seeing it live would be very useful.
Ultimately I wanted to see if I would have to drill points above where my long range gas tank sits below the tub. And from your pics I can see that I will. Ugh.
Old thread revival…
Lots of nice installs of the Bestop rear seat in here. Can anyone share pictures/descriptions of the mounts you made or altered to mount the seat in your FJ40? Does the bestop seat itself come with a universal mount of sorts that can be used?
The premium to buy the CCOT kit is $400 more than buying the seat alone, and they don’t sell the black denim version I’d prefer.

I took what I think you are referring to as the universal mount and mounted it to a custom 1/4" adapter plate I made up.
Then bolted the entire assembly including the seat down using the bolts that attached the body to the frame (actually used slightly longer bolts).

And finally located and bolted the latch through the bed to a backer plate.
This is great, thank you for taking the time to show your mounts. Your design looks pretty simple to replicate.
