removing seats in the patrol

Hi Lenni

To remove the seats is very easy. Just remove the plastic trim over the bolt and remove two bolts per seat.

And dont forget to put the bolts back in, I use those holes to mount my cargo barrier, works a treat.

Also you can go to somewhere like costless bolts or Coventry fasteners buy some heavy duty or rated eyelets because they make great tie down points

Lenni,

Just be aware of the current little controversy about legality. It doesn't bother me (my rig is sooooo illegal already that I am not in the least worried about getting pinged for the seats not being in full time).

The problem (if you wanna call it that) is that the Patrol is complianced-plated for 7 seats. Due to that, you are supposed to only remove the 3rd row of seats (or any others for that matter) as a temporary measure......I think they mean like 7 days or something like that. So if (like me), you have the 3rd row out and a cargo barrier and shelving unit, fridge-slide etc in the vehicle full-time, you're gunna find it hard to convince anybody in authority, that your mods are only temporary.

Apparently what you're supposed to do, is spend a few hundred bucks and get a new compliance plate with "5 seats" specified instead of 7. It follows that if you wanna sell the vehicle later with the other 2 seats back in, you's deend to get it re-complianced!!!! What a crock of s h i t.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
