Who Wants To Ride In The Back?
Crafting a backseat for my ‘66 Land Cruiser FJ40
In this space, I mostly write about my 66 Toyota Land Cruiser and all the work I’ve done to it. Honestly, I’ve been really busy with TAG, TAG Design and helping my wife with her store, Kids and Maternity Consignments. This last week, I decided to get to work on my Cruiser. Originally, my 66 Toyota Land Cruiser had a pair of fold-down jump seats that were mounted to the rear wheel wells. I went back and forth, between original and what I wanted. Original? What I wanted? Finally, I decided that I wanted a single seat in the back and that’s what I did. I took one of the original jump seats and prepped it to make it into one back seat. The original seat had two little arms that shot out and down for stability. I decided to cut them off because I didn’t need them. Simple enough. Grinded it down, smoothed it out and it’s good. I then had to create a platform to attach the seat to. Since I hang on to every little part and piece, I reused the front bumper
to make a platform for the seat. I cut parts of the front bumper into two 12 inch pieces, with a little left over. I then welded two pieces of angle iron to the two used bumper pieces and made a simple but very effective platform. I then spent some time, locating the angle iron supports that were under the floor. It took a little time to find the right place then drilled the holes and bolted it down. Once the platform was in place, I bolted the back seat to the platform and checked to make sure it had plenty of leg room for the back seat passengers. Check out this pic.
