Where are the rear seats that fit the LJ?
or the 2004–2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ (Unlimited), factory rear seats and direct-replacement bench seats are physically different from standard TJ seats because the LJ features an extra 13 inches of wheelbase, resulting in significantly more rear legroom and a different rear mounting position.
Standard TJ fold-and-tumble seats (like the Quadratec Heritage Fold & Tumble Rear Bench Seat you are looking at) are designed strictly for the shorter 97–06 TJ tub and will not drop into an LJ without custom bracket modifications. When looking for a direct-fit LJ rear seat, you need to ensure the specific part or mounting hardware explicitly lists compatibility with the Wrangler LJ / Unlimited (2004–2006).

The detailed description states that "all installation hardware" is included, but under Parts Included, it only lists the rear bench seat. Does this seat include the 2 floor-mounting brackets, 2 e-clips, and striker plate?
Yes, it includes the rear bench seat along with the necessary floor-mounting brackets, side brackets, and associated hardware to install it properly.

Does this seat have Latch mounts for a forward facing child seat?
No, the Quadratec Heritage Fold & Tumble Rear Bench Seat does not have built-in LATCH mounts (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren).

I have a Bestop Instatrunk installed in my TJ. Will this seat still fit with the Instatrunk since it has the handle at the back of the seat?
The Bestop Instatrunk is designed to sit directly behind the rear seat, creating a secure trunk space. Most aftermarket "Fold & Tumble" seats for the TJ, including the Quadratec Heritage line, utilize the factory mounting points, meaning the seat sits in the same fore/aft position as your original seat.
Handle Clearance: The release handle on the Quadratec Heritage seat is located at the top-center of the seat back. Because the Instatrunk does not extend above the top of the seat back, you will still have physical access to the handle to fold the seat forward.
The "Tumble" Limitation: While the seat will fold flat without issue, the "tumble" feature (flipping the whole seat forward toward the front seats) is usually done to increase floor space. Since the Instatrunk is bolted to the floor right behind the seat, you won't gain extra floor depth, but the seat will still tumble forward to sit against the front seats as intended.
