    Hello!

    I have the work utility version with 4x4 manual, access cab, no back seat.
    I have no problem with this, but there are times I unfortunately do have to ferry more than one person from A to B.
    Instead of having them sit on that ridged, what I assume, tool box holder, Is there something that I can put on top of it that people can sit flat on?
    I've done some digging, and it seems the only thing available is to buy a seat, but I didn't want a seat.

    anyway besides fabricating my own flat surface, is there anything for purchase that I can use that quickly goes in the back?

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I would think fabbing something would be doable

    Get a big pillow-bean bag. It is not legal, but you don't have seat belts anyway.

    The Stadium chair doesn't seem like a bad idea.
    I'd have to do some measurements though, It might stick to far out.

    The bean bag is a bit janky, but yeah definitely a better option than having your ass ruined.

    Man, this brings back memories ... I used to put a beanbag in the back of my Datsun KingCab pickup, when the KingCab was the first extended cab truck. Even with the beanbag not many people wanted to ride back there! That was almost 40 years ago ...

    My old XtraCab had forward facing jump seats.

    You might be thinking of FJ40 jump seats.

    It's true, if you were taller than 4 feet it didn't work. The ideal age of a passenger back there was 9 or perhaps a circus contortionist.

    I've definitely ridden sideways on ranger jumper seats, can't imagine how much a collision would have jacked me up back there.
