Removing rear seats

Does anyone know if you can remove the standard rear seats out of a 2001 jimny? They fold down etc but I want to make it into a flatbed at the back, I'm having trouble finding bolts to undo?

Sure you can look under the front of the seats for the bolts. Then you can fit a piece of chequer plate in the back for a nice load area or wood if you want a cheaper option

Remove the trim inbetween the rear seats undo 4 bolts then in the lower left on the left seat peal back the material and undo he bolt same on the othe side that removes the back ane lift up the base and undo the 4 bolts holding them on

Under the cover that goes around the seatbelt catches there are two bolts that go down through the seat hinge into the floor on the seatbelt side of the chair . Then on the other there's a stud that sticks out from the wheel arch, if you pull the seat foam to one side there's a nut that needs undoing from the end of the stud. Then there are two bolts under each seat base & the carpet just pops on with poppers!

Good luck

Can you buy these chequer plates per cut to fit a jimny? Or do you have to cut it yourself?

There are 4 bolts under the cover 2 for each seat and there is no need to undo the nut on the stud just unvelcro the lower outer corner of the back and undo the 12/14mm bolt remove seat back then remove the nut on the bracket

With a good carpet.

That's a neat job there with the wood!

The plastic which fits over the seat belt anchor point is loose but I can't see a join in it to take the plastic off, or do I have to snap it off?

not sure which bit you mean, your's may be different to mine (2007)

but here's a pdf guide to remove the rear trim (which houses the rear belts)
