Lincoln Navigator Rear seat FJ40 Mod!

$25 whatca think!

Now if I can get the bottom mounts it could tilt/fold.
I'm 5 foot 8 and I don't hit the top.

Looks awesome. I like the integrated seat belts. What year is it out of?

2001. I need to get the mounts but a junk yard might be of help.
I don't even know what to search for on ebay.

But the good news is ford/lincoln/mercury all shares the same design.

Only bummer is you have to drill holes into that tub. Looks pretty good, just needs a little cleaning. Going to need to reinforce that mount under the bed but there is plenty of space under there.

Too bad you couldn't rig up some cross members to use the existing roll cage bolts... But then it would be way too high and those cross members would clog up the back storage.

Here is some info on mounting - maybe you can integrate those front tub bolts like they do somehow although your seat looks more like the mount is in the center. A crossbeam spanning bolt to bolt perhaps?

I might just as well drill the tub, this is about to get dissembled and sandblasted.
Plus I have an English mastiff who will flip out if he cant ride.

My body and tub is perfect though, just needs the basics to be back to life.

Does the extra drilling really mess the value up?
I really like the Phatty bench seat and so much room when folded up!

I am going to try and do something similar with mine except my rear seat is out of a 93 bronco.
