Thank you! That is very helpful

Went and bought a jump seat. Going to have to find them missing parts and I have a reupholster close to me that does cars so I'll see how much it would be to get the seat redone in leather with white stitching to match the other seats. But the project begins. Wish me luck.

Good luck, I think it's worth it.

I did mine through Katzkin, as they did my original upholstery through the dealer. It was $450 back in January. Came out great

@Nsleone how do the screws connect? I received the part today but it came without screws. I cannot tell from the photos what bolts or screws are needed.

Worst case, I'll just some toggle bolts to make the connection but figured I'd ask you first.

Edit:

I checked YouTube for a removal video for the center jump seat and turns out those are those little black plastic retainer clips. I have a whole kit of those, so I have what I need now.

Well…. I had no clue there were screw holes under there

I never pulled up the rubber in those holes and mine locks in to place pretty solid just with the two plastic clips it has on the back.

Excellent, thank you! I put in a couple of short plastic retainer clips and they did the trick. Very solid now, my work is complete for now!

You will need to pull up the carpet as there are two more bolts closer to floorboard towards the rear.

I’m in the middle of adding my jump seat now. Is there a way of pulling the carpet back to secure the jump seat without removing the driver and passenger seats? Or do those need to be removed? Thank you in advance!

I did by cutting a slit in the corners of the carpet to allow enough slack to pull the carpet back to access the bolts. I don't think there's another way besides pulling the seats out.

If you are worried about how it will look cut, then I'd say pull the seats out to be safe.

Roger that, thanks again for all the help.

Where did everyone buy their jump seat?

 

[Havzeez]

Sick! Got my seat in and got it in place. Fits perfect in the space. The seat didn’t come with the silver mount bracket or screws to secure it to the frame so I got to find those. What size are those bolts that go into the silver bracket (2 passenger side, 1 driver side) and the 2 for the front feet of the seat? Maybe just a couple M10x1.5x40 bolts?

 

[Havzeez]

Oh I found it! I couldn’t find this chart with the numbered diagram.
Leave it to Gemini to find it for me. Lol

Where did you buy it? Also, do they make leather to match?

I have seen some leather ones posted from time to time on ebay or local facebook market place.

I bought it from OEM Seats. No they didn't have a leather one. I called a place down the street to reupholster it to leather and they wanted $1,400 just to replace the seat and back to leather, not the sides. I asked about black cloth and they quoted me same price so I just decided to leave it for now. I only need it for when all 6 of us use the truck anyways. Otherwise it's in the down position and the arm rest area is already black leather so doesn't stand out.

I did Katzkin (same as my OEM leather seats) in February and it was $450 total. They did it in a day, came out great.
