Topic: Anyone running seats in your bed?

[95toyrunner]

I'm thinking about mounting a small bench or seats in the bed. Any photos, comments, concerns, advice, tips, preferences, etc much appreciated! rear facing or forward facing, caged or not, let's see em!

You will be seated higher in the bed than in a 4Runner, high enough to put an adult head above the top of the cab.

I used a rear seat from an Amigo. Bolted the retractable seatbelts to the bed. They "click in" in the recessed area in the middle of the seat. It also folds down when not in use. I would post a pic but i recently took it out to go on a dump run for the wife. It's just as legal as the old days. As long as the passengers have a restraint system(per california law) I looked it up and keep a copy in my glove box in case any of the CHP has any issues with it. I get people looking crazy at me and I hear them(at stop lights) with dumb comments like "oh my gosh look at that", "can you believe he has people/kids back there". It's no different than taking the top off of a convertible, a 4runner, a blazer, any car with a removable top. Just my

Awesome! I'd love to see some pics. I knew it was legal and I agree, it is the same as any convertible truck. But yeah, who's got pics?

Did it for running mountain bike shuttles.  Rear facing, strapped in, no seat belts, though.  The people sitting in it were pretty high above the cab.

The guy sitting in the bench seat is only 5'3"
