Installation Guide for Rugged Ridge 13462.XX Fold & Tumble Rear Seat

Quick Installation Overview

This guide covers the installation of the Rugged Ridge Fold & Tumble Rear Seat for 1976-1995 CJ and YJ vehicles. The process involves installing front seat brackets and setting up the rear seat lock mechanism. Please note that some early CJ models may require drilling additional holes.

Front Seat Brackets

1. Remove the existing seat mounting bolts from the floor.

2. Install the front seat brackets through the seat mounting tabs as shown in the diagram.

3. Secure the bracket to the tab using the provided C-clip.

4. Align the mounting bracket over the holes in the floor and securely tighten the seat mounting bolts.

Note: If your vehicle is an early CJ model with only one mounting hole per side, you will need to drill a second hole. It is recommended to use Grade 5 or higher bolts and large washers (additional hardware supplied by the customer).

Rear Seat Lock

1. Remove the seat belt anchor bolt from the floor.

2. Position the lock underneath the seat belt and eyelets.

3. Reinstall the seat belt anchor bolt through the seat belt eyelets and the seat lock. Do not tighten the bolt yet.

4. Align the seat lock with the striker so that the seat locks correctly when pushed down into position.

5. Once aligned, tighten the seat belt anchor bolt.

Note: If desired, an additional hole can be drilled to secure the bracket with two bolts. Grade 5 or higher bolts and large washers are recommended for this purpose.
