Default Missing 3rd row seat and brackets.

I'm new here and need some help. I recently brought an 2004 GX470 because I needed the 3rd row for the little ones. Turn out I messed up since this GX does not even have the seat belts or brackets to install the 3rd row. I thought the previous owner just did not have the seat. Now I've bought that item online, I'm finding out I can't even put it in. Do I have any options or am I just SOL?

i get the feeling the later? SOL? I don't think there is anyway to retrofit that option....the hardware in the floor alone, not to mention the seat belts and retractors...and to be sure they would be reliable in a crash.

Do you have the little notches circled in red? If so yours was supposed to come with a cargo cover.


To use the 3rd row you'll need the bars that are under the 3rd row arm rest cover and the floor bars that the flip down brackets (bottom of the 3rd row seats) hook on to when the seats are in use and seatbelts.

You can find the parts in the links below:

Christ I am SOL! Thanks guys I bought the kind with cargo cover and I guess it would be too expensive to retrofit everything for that 3rd seat. Wouldn't even know where to begin.
