Before I can put it all back together, I'm going to have the visors reupholstered and I'll probably do the headliner myself. That doesn't look too hard, and I see many people online have done it, so I believe I can as well. Gonna need something really thin, as not to change the dimension too much.
Visors can always be put back in later, if necessary.
Considering how infrequent the jumpseats get used, I'll SEM those. They've only been used twice in the 5 (?) years I've owned the truck, not counting my beagle, Crystal, who used to ride back there. Rest in peace, my friend. Once by my father, and once by my friends, when we piled in on our way to a Halloween party, as we would be on back roads of unknown and perhaps questionable terrain, which their cars would be not suitable for. (Escape and Prius, respectively). Glad we did, too! Either of 'em would have sank like a stone in the mud we wound up in. Heh, good times.
.....Anyway. Some may ask why I don't just delete them given their infrequent use. Good question. I like to be prepared, and that's one more tool in the box I already have. The above situation could happen again, and I have the 'dog board' which laid across them. Made for a nice place to set things that was still reachable from the driver's seat. That'll have to get color changed too. I also have a small sub that is made to fit in small cab trucks, which it fits nicely underneath said board and the board protects it from damage. Also offers some separation, like the tray in a small tool box.
If black belts for those are easily found, great. If not, ritdye. I'm taking a cheaper approach to the jump seats deliberately, again as they won't see much use therefor not much wear, compared to the front seats.
Still need to wire in a plug, for the roll bar's 3rd brake/cargo lighting. Now is the time when there's no interior in the way.
