Its not mad.

You are correct, it is legal.

However a Jimny is small in the rear so it is likely to be used for children , not adults. Indeed, the conversion states it is ISOFix compliant.

People should be aware that it is built to a different specification to the factory build which will be particularly relevant when it is sold on again to a more unsuspecting owner.

The Isofix thing was another surprise to me, as I thought that required welded lands/hooks (what do you call them) but this installation is apparently not welded. Or is it? Perhaps the person with the conversion will join the group. I suspect there's only one so far, the video that Artie posted only went up just before the holiday.

Maybe Woodstock's will become a site co sponsor and will come here to tell us all about it.

ISOFix is built into the seat frame and then the seat frame is bolted to the floor which is pretty much standard on all cars nowadays. As standard there is a bolt hole missing on the LCV which is probably remedied with a hole being drilled and a strengthening plate fitted ( although the "genuine Suzuki" fix would be changing the underfloor cross member for the SZ5 version)

As my previous comment which was skipped over

Do it properly
lf you want rear seats sell your Jimny Commercial and buy an SZ4 or SZ5?

My mistake, Martin -- I thought these welded square loops were the Isofix points in a Jimny. I don't have little people to chauffeur, so I'm not familiar with these things...

I think you are correct with the Suzuki factory seats, But it is very common for the seat frame to have them built in
