Just figured I'd share this all in one place so people can find it.
Pulled out the third row and its seatbelts today:
Tools needed: 14mm socket, ratchet, extension.
All the trim can be pulled with your hands alone. Just pop out the outside covers off each seat leg at a time, and each will expose two bolts. After removal, I replaced the bolts in their holes just to make sure I never lose them. To pull the seatbelts, just undo the lower bolts, then the pivot, then separate the vehicle side molding with your fingers. The 14mm bolt holding the belt coil in is just behind the seam. You'll need to pull out the lower panel a bit first, then pop the top panel out to actually work the coil free. Watch the tabs go into their slots straight when you push everything back together. It really is that easy. Took me 30 minutes all in.
I ordered a rubber mat from a Heritage Edition (part #PT206-60200-02) from Toyota Parts Center: Landcruiser Aw Cargo - Toyota (PT206-60200-02) | Toyota Parts. Took two days to arrive, cost was $60 before shipping. Fits perfectly.
Did this to create space for our dogs:
That cargo barrier is just a cheap Amazon Basics item. Wouldn't recommend it much (the large fits pretty well though) as it provides no actual safety. Just using it as a placeholder until I figure out what we're doing with the build, and add something that will actually limit the dogs' travel in an impact. Those are Harbor Freight moving blankets, with holes punched near the outer trim, then zip tied down. I've haven't found anything else that repels dog hair as well as those. Just brush the dog hair out the back as you need to. Wash or replace them as necessary. They actually hold up pretty well too. I've got another set that's been around for 6 months. Used them to keep freezing rain off an accident victim while performing first aid/waiting for ambulance, washed them after, and they're still like new.
