Interior / Exterior Visual TechThis section contains discussion related to visual modifications of the Toyota FJ Cruiser. Some items might include dash kits, roof rack modifications and other visual modifications.
I recently had a third row seat made by an aftermarket company for my FJ. Here are some pics of both my FJ and, in particular, the installed third row seat.

I like it. How much leg room do those seats leave?
The third row is designed only for children. If your over 5' tall, you'll be cramped in that row. I've got four kids, plus my wife, so it works out perfect for us.

Kids less than 5' tall have plenty of room back there. It's like their "own" seat because no one else can fit. My kids love it.

It sounds like a good idea, but how hard is it to get to the back seat, and is there any legroom?
For kids, it's easy. Just pull down the middle row single seat, as shown in one of the pics, and they can climb right in. Kids have plenty of leg room. Again, that third row seat is ONLY for kids.

I think that the third row seat works perfect for your situation. You got your FJ and your whole family can fit.
