They're the same seats for all 463 that i've ever heard of, so as long as they come out of a truck that 1990 or newer, they'll fit in any truck, including newer... the nuts are welded to the vehicles body behind the interior panels, you just have to cut the holes to mount. It is however possible that they've stopped including the nuts welded to the body of the car, but that would need to be checked.

I think use of seatbelts with them was just something Europa did. The German noted intent of them is for putting boots on in foul weather situations. They are in fact nice for that. I've used them for short drives to lunch with people, and they're fun and people kind like sitting in them for their novelty even if they aren't that comfortable. it does seem that every once in a while you'll see some come up for sale... might be easier and cheaper to source them used from europe.

Yup. My suggestion is do not do it. It is not deemed to be safe in a crash for little ones. Head hitting the rear glass and such. JMHO.

Hi Carne hos,
I have an earlier grey leather jumpseat from a 463 in my 2002. It is not a perfect fit and required a very minor modification due to the different shape of the side interior panel. The bolt pattern is the same for all 463 jump seats and the 2002 models have the threaded inserts in the body. All you need to do is put the holes in the panel. Easy.

Alan McR is selling his (black) jumpseats but wants a hole free panel in exchange. I think Eurotruck had a used seat or two in stock, check with them. The 4x4club 463 jump seats are new and worth it, Eurotruck sells them as well by special order. I love mine for putting on ski boots and also roll with a bunch of kids around for short distances, it gives a bit more seating flexibility safety issues aside.

I had 2 jumpseats in my 460, but actually wouldn't put another one in my 200 G500 if it was free. The cargo space is slightly reduced, and there is precious little of it behind the 2nd row of seating. Check ebay and ebay.de as well.

A little unrelated but not worth starting a new thread for.......

Does anyone know how much roughly both the rear seats weight on an MB usa G.

I do not want to take them out to find out.

They are heavy as hell and require a special tool to remove and reinstall.
Been there and done that. Not an easy task.

i may be intentionally removing mine in the next couple months... if i do, i'll try and think to weigh them.
