Mark in Burbank (marksoffroad.com) always seems to have one he is selling...plan on $$$$$
 
We'll after attending the Bakersfield Landcruiser Rally today, I saw one of the old Con-Ferr rear seats for the FJ40 and really like the set up with the folding backrest and all. Anyone on here by chance have one of those you'd like to part with? @65swb45 have any of these left. After I saw it in that 71' I was going back to ask you, but you had already left.

Thanks for any help all...

Jason-
 
I forget how much I paid for mine - it was pretty spendy - but it's one with the under-seat storage, and I love it. Matches the factory bench front seat nicely.

I bought one when you could still get them new. The seat back was too low to be very safe in my opinion.

If we're being honest, there's not a lot about these vehicles that is 'safe' compared to modern vehicles.
 
Paid $125 for mine last year, repainted all the metal and had a small rip repaired for $20. Plenty of storage under the seat and I can carry passengers with the seat belts. Yes, the backrest could be higher but since I rarely if ever carry back seat passengers, that isn't much of a concern. Overall a good score if you can find one. (Sorry for all the pollen on the seat, this year has been especially bad.)

Yes I am being honest. A simple rear end collision that you could walk away from could become a back or neck injury. Just because it's not as safe as today's vehicles doesn't mean I want to make changes to make it even worse.

Sold it within a year of buying it.

A Jeep TJ seat is pretty similar fyi.

I have owned both. I have a TJ seat now and it's about 1/3 taller and has adjustable headrests. In that it is a small rear seat about 40" wide, yes they are similar.

How did you mount the TJ seat? Straight to floor or did you used a raised frame constructed?

I have one without the under seat storage has belts attached if you are still looking ?
 
I'd used a Sami rear seat too. I'd mounted it high enough to use the whole area between the fenders as storage. Then my wife's very tall kid cousin rode back there and couldn't sit up straight with head clearance on my family cage. I shortened the seat mounts last go round so the seat is as low as possible, but now it's too far back as the seat back interferes with the soft tip rear window. I was trying to give adult head and legroom.
