Spending the week on the Outer Banks with the extended family. We are only a few miles from the Currituck Banks Reserve where you can drive the beach with the wild horses. So added some seats to my Gladiator

Nothing really big - just my version of the bed rail, some electric odds and ends.
The commercial terminal blocks were too big and bulky for me - overkill. I wanted something simple, lean, convenient and not show up like a look at this fancy part type of thing.
The foam pad (the same stuff used by car makers to seal windshield wiper motor mounting plates on the firewall years ago) will prevent the screw ends from making contact, help dampen vibrations, prevent rubbing.

I made a DIY aluminum bedslide - going to do a build and review video once I get back from my Yellowstone road trip on a couple weeks

Really like this idea. I had plans to use Land Rover 110 benches and a full cage to run kids to the pool and around town...Spending the week on the Outer Banks with the extended family.

...but your solution is a lot simpler if the use is low speed, low risk driving. Are the boards bolted to the bed at all? Where did you source the seats?

Got the seat from Amazon and the 2x4 are not bolted down, so far not been a problem, but I'm not driving like I'm in the Baja 500 https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08BFJF5QK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsReally like this idea.
