I tried looking through the faq and that is a time consuming process. Anyway, the question is, is there a certain year(s) that have the rear seats facing each other? That's the specific style that i like, but it seems like a lot of the 40's i see for sale have normal rear seats facing the windshield. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Not including early fj25’s or lwb 45’s that had forward facing … the 40 came standard with the side facing seats in USA
If your seeing rear forward facing bench seats they are not stock … the truck has been modded

Jump seats (facing each othe) we’re factory in FJ40’s. The front facing seats you see are aftermarket seats.
Most markets had the side seats … some got the higher end front seats later on … and earlier on

There is the two main types of side seats … pre roll bar seats and post roll bar seats
Before roll bars there were longer seats (a few varieties) and when roll bars came then the seats fit in between the bar and were shorter (there were variations of them as well)
I use the side seats … used to have a forward bench for the kid seats to attach
Both styles have advantages and disadvantages
Did Fj40 Land Cruiser's ever come with a rear bench seat?
Did Fj40 Land Cruiser ever come with a rear bench seat from the factory? I have never seen one, however a guy told me one he bought new had one in it. Was the a dealer option or something?
