Folding back seat mod - For ALL dual cabs

[SC00BB]

I'm just writing this to get it into my posts so I can come back to it later

[bogged tom]

Just tackled the back seat with a rattle gun and a hacksaw, 10 min later flippy back seat,
and as i suspected, putting my girls seats back in was very easy.

No. 1 off my list of Steves modds....

[Ciboats]

Rear seat mod. Added to my build.

And I thought I better re do and place this on the right topic page as well. Sorry, I'm still getting my head around the site.

MANY THANKS to the people responsible for this idea. If you are in sydney your beers are cold & waiting.

The compartments are soft shelves used to hang shoes from wardrobe. $11 at bunnings.& some foam bits. This is my version & contents.

Air hose,
Gloves,
Snatch,
Tree protector
Extender strap
3 x 20 mm shackles
High jack bits
Axe
Machete
Hoe
Saw
Dust brush

I think thats it. And ive still got another compartment. Probably emergency paper roll will be good.

Hopefully photos have turned out.

Hello. At us in Russia this problem solved more simply. That it is not necessary to saw. We turn off on two bolts from each party of fastening of a back seat. We remove sitting with directing (on a photo 1, 2).
On a back wall there are 3 brackets, us two interest extreme (on a photo 1, 2), central isn't necessary. Brackets are at an angle directed up. We take a hammer or that нибудь heavy and through a rag (what not to damage paint) we set to brackets horizontal situation (on a photo 3, 4).
Then we fasten a seat and modernization it is ready.
That we receive and as it works.
As usual we pull for a strap and we lift a seat on top. Thus the back of a seat leaves down. When the back reaches the lowermost point, simply we pull for it and we lower it towards a seat. And to you access to a quite good compartment opens. It is closed even more simply. We lift a back and it is leaned it against a back wall, then we lift a seat and a back arms itself it is hooked for brackets and when lowering a seat it is automatically latched. At a seat closed position, it is impossible to combine a back, everything keeps in a regular mode. Time for modernization left 10-15min. It is impossible to insert the image.

Откручиваем по два болта с каждой стороны крепления заднего сиденья. Снимаем сидение с направляющих (на фото 1, 2).
На задней стенке находятся 3 скобы, нас интересуют две крайние (на фото 1, 2), центральная не нужна. Скобы находятся под углом направленным вверх. Берем молоток или, что нибудь тяжелое и через тряпку (что бы не повредить краску) задаем скобам горизонтальное положение (на фото 3, 4).
Затем прикручиваем сиденье и модернизация готова.
Что получаем и как это работает.
Как обычно тянем за лямку и поднимаем сиденье на верх. При этом спинка сиденья уходит вниз. Когда спинка достигает самой нижней точки, просто тянем за нее и опускаем ее в сторону сиденья. И Вам открывается доступ к неплохому отсеку. Закрывается еще проще. Поднимаем спинку и прислоняем ее к задней стенке, затем поднимаем сиденье и спинка кронштейнами сама зацепляется за скобы и при опускании сиденья автоматически защелкивается. При закрытом положении сиденья спинку, сложить нельзя, все держится в штатном режиме. Времени на модернизацию ушло 10-15мин. Это на русском.Первый раз переводил на компьютере.

Okay go to - Google Translate http://translate.google.com/ and paste the Russian cyrillic above - makes slightly more sense...just. Actually, now I read it again it makes more sense - apart from the Pervy translated computer at the end This looks like a viable alternative

"Unscrew the two screws on each side of the rear seat mounts. Remove the seat from the guide (photo 1, 2).
On the back wall are three brackets, we are interested in two extreme (photo 1, 2), the center is not needed. Brackets are angled upward. Take a hammer or something heavy and a rag (that would not damage the paint) Set the horizontal position of the brackets (in picture 3, 4).
Then fasten the seat and ready to upgrade.
What we get and how it works.
As usual, we pull the strap and lift the seat on top. In this case, the seat back goes down. When the back reaches the lowest point, just drag it over and drop it in the seat. And you open access to a decent bay. Closes easier. Raise the back and lean it to the back wall, then lift the seat and backrest brackets itself engages the bracket and when lowering the seat will automatically lock. In the closed position, the backrest can fold, everything is kept in normal mode. Time to upgrade took 10-15min. It's time russkom.Pervy translated on the computer."

Спасибо товарищу!

[андрей]

Да И ни чего резать не надо.Как для вас удобнее на русском или переводить.

[DeadlyBeast]

Спасибо Андрей. Google Перевести не является совершенным, но оно является адекватной.. Что Hilux модели у вас есть?

[андрей]

Я купил в этом году Hilux Синий Элегантность 2.5 l

[dervdave]

So if the 2 brackets are bent horizontal it does the same job as cutting off the ends of the catches... yes ?

[андрей]

Da.Gorizontalno или чуть ниже.

[андрей]

[woodbturner]

Would beat cutting hooks off. Will try it out on my 2012 one day.

[андрей]
