Ok Scalia is a holy man, we can't even joke about him. I have also slept in that room several times. Everyone should spend a winter weekend there.
But yes, the elevated rear seat is a real benefit for the driver. I've been shot once. Once is enough.
Patrolling again this weekend,

are you referring to actual guns? haha. This isnt really a hunting rig, since I am not much of a hunter. I wanted to mount the seat as low as possible so the passenger(s) would have the most headroom possible.
L60Boerne wrote:If you look up my thread ....Santa's Sleigh you will see a forward looking bench seat. It fit perfectly. I cant recall if it folds. But it is from a K5 Blazer. It does require a steel platform to mount it on but the width is perfect for a SWB L60.......and there must be 100,000 of them in junk yards to choose from.
Patrolling again soon,

good to know! but I didnt want a forward facing seat. I wanted these jump seats because they allow the passengers more room, easier to enter from the back, and more room for stuff/gear
I do have two very lightweight aluminum side facing rear seat frame that came with the Phoenix Patrol. I posted the picture on the other thread concerning seats. They will serve the purpose but they are not the quality of OEM Nissan rear seats. If you want them let me know. I'm getting ready to put them in my barn in CO..never to be seen again..I'm sure.

Here you go. I don't think they are home made. I'd say they are aluminum framed.
