If you still have the third row seats, the plugs you are referring to are stored in the bottom of the seats for use when the seats are in the upright position (or removed). So look at the bottom of the seats and see if they are there.

I'm getting rid of my 2nd and 3rd row seats. Should shed a ton of weight and create great storage space.

It was the very first thing I did, lol.

I never use the 3rd row seats and would like the extra room to haul stuff. Is there a clean and somewhat easy way to remove all traces of the 3rd row seats of a US spec LX570? Has anyone done it yet?

Third row removal

MM,

I had a template made of the cargo area (pager traced then used to make a cardboard cutout). Then we used the template to cut a mat. The traces of the third seat removal on the rear wheel wells (bolts exposed) are covered by the Orvis dog mat (medium) that is fleece on one side and mat padded on the reverse ( and washable). The dogs are happy and I do not see the exposed bolts. The floor bolts are covered by the first or base mat.

The first mat is cargo liner stuff (pickup trucktype) that is washable and flexible. The holes in the floor carpet, after removing the seats, were filled with cargo liner material-cut to fit with the same paper trace.

A lot more room. Toyota should have a plan for this.

I can throw muddy dogs and gear back there and easily clean up. On Monday at the office no one has a clue.......

Can you or others here tell me how many cubic feet the rear is with the third row removed? With 43 ft cubed with these seats, a 4Runner has more cargo space! I'm trying to gauge how the rear would compare to a Tahoe, assuming 3rd row removed in both.

Apparently Toyota folding seats take up no space. From the South African Toyota website, no third row vs third row configuration:

Vehicles - Land Cruiser 200 - Toyota South Africa

3rd Row Seat Configuration - 2
Luggage Capacity (L) 1276 1276

Anyway, I'd guess the seats are roughly something like .75ft x 3ft x 3ft folded or very roughly ~6 cubic feet each. Mine are buried on a storage shelve so I can't directly measure them without cleaning the garage. Maybe someone else has them handy or can measure them folded on their 200 series.

I just measured the folded up stored 3rd row seats in my basement. They are 21X25X8.5 inches each. Doing the math yields a total of about 5.2 cubic feet additional cargo space if both are removed.
