Thread: double cab rear seats fixed?

Thread drag!
I have recently picked up a 2010 tdci 130 Dual Cab
It has a Qld Transport Blue Mod Plate in the rear seating with the only information being
Seat Modification - Seat capacity 5

So essentially previous owner went to the trouble of getting some modification ratified.
Obviously its not the number of seats.

This 130 has tilt and folding rear seats by lifting a lever then pulling a loop - ala 110.
The hard bolted plates are still in place just the bolts are missing.

My first thought was old mate put 110 rear seats in place but comparing to the base mounts of a 110 these look to be 130 specific. And it still has the hard mount plates in.

Wannabeexplorer mentions:

"hey guys, so the rear seats on the crew/double-cad has a leaver to allow the backrests to fall forward; it also has another pull strap / latch to lift the seats and lilt them forward once the backrests are folded down. (that would be from the 110 wagon to make for more 'boot space').
BUT, in the 110 double cab, the rear seat backrests are bolted to the tub, so they can't fold (it all works if you take the bolts out)."

SO my question is - do standard 130 seats have the levers and hinges and just missing the latching instead being hard bolted? Im guessing so.

If so then my mod plate will be for keeping the seats but the removal of the hard bolting and installation of some latching. Possible 110 wagon possibly custom.
I can take some images if necessary.

But the question is on a standard 130 dual cab do the seats have levers and hinges and are just missing latches on the cab to engage on? instead being hard bolted?

My 130 their is a metal strap which bolts to the side the seat. Currently their are no bolts and this allows the backs to fold down and then the whole seat folds forward. Its a 60/40 split seat. I then can access the panel on top of the seat box which has clips to hold it in place. This is where the compressor, jumper leads and ties hide. Its a 2000. Cant say if this is stock or not. I too have a mod plate but i suspect its for the child restraint which is bolted to the black angle stays.
