M1009 RearSeat modification options

Hello,

I have owned a M1009 for almost 3 years now. I love my CUCV for my outdoor activities.

I have been doing some brain storming concerning the rear seat. I want some input.

I enjoy my outdoor activities. Most of the time I haul 2 humans and a few dogs. The dogs are 1 large breed (Lab) and maybe 2 small breed dogs.
Sometimes, I may haul a 3rd human.

A thought I have is to remove the rear bench seat and put in a single bucket seat in the rear. Then I have extra space for storage and dog bed.
I will need to create a mount for a rear bucket seat. I was thinking maybe a MRAP seat?

Not sure if anyone has done a modification like this? I am wanting some input.

Thank You,

I like the sounds of it. I think it would be pretty easy. Just need to sort out mounting and seatlbelt issues.

I done this for a guy. I stripped the OEM seat down to the bottom frame and cut the small spring work from the frame and used the grinder to clean the frame. I then welded flat bar from the front tube to the back tube for seat mounts. He also only want 1 rear seat. So I painted the frame and just put a bottom seat cushion on the right side. and mounted a full size bucket seat on the left side behind the driver. I was able to mount the frame and seat back in and use the same OEM bolts and the same seatbelts. And he could take that seat out and put the OEM one back in with no modification's. That will require you to have an extra M1009 rear seat or a civi rear seat to sacrifice. Both are around and can be bought very reasonable. Putting a bucket seat on the passenger side is fine but it cannot recline because of the spare tire.

how about troop seats in M101 trailer lol dogs get stinky and funky
