I would put the bolts in the floor first, if you are planning to
locate the peg feet of the seat in the heads of the bolts. If you
don't do this first, you won't be able to get the mounting bar at the
right height. You don't have much room for error where the pin lock
catches, and about the worst sound a vanagon makes is a rattling jump
seat. I don't have my jumpseat carat anymore to check for you, but I
don't remember much room between the seat and the slider to begin
with. I'd leave it in the stock position.
