Jump seat conversion

I have a 1998 XLT 4x4 Ranger with jump seats in the back. Is there anyway to take jump seats out, and replace with a bench seat?

Sell the Ranger, buy an Explorer.

You can remove them (I've removed mine), but there are no options for a bench.

It would be very impractical anyhow. There's hardly enough room for a small person sitting sideways in the jump-seats as it is (as I'm sure you're aware). Anyone small enough to sit front-ways in a bench seat would probably be a candidate for a baby seat.

Get a couple of seats that bolt to the bed? Get a camper cover for the bed, then put a mattress on the bed and let the riders lie down as you go from here to there.

The jump seats should unbolt from the floor if you still want to take them out.
