Okay its been a little while since I've been on the forum but I have decided to get back into my truck, the summer was all about fishing, working, and friends. Now that every one is going back to school and work is much more steady now I have some ideas for the Big Green X
here goes, 2nd and 3rd row seats facing each other!
Meaning turning the 2nd row around so that its rear facing and putting the 3rd row back in and facing forward.
Now I was looking at my dad's truck and on his it would be really straight forward just drilling some holes in the floor and through bolting them. (03 eddie bauer with power fold 3rd row)
BUT on the first gens the "hump" as I call it starts where the 2nd row bolts at the rear of the seat to the floor and the 2 seat bench attaches with a center d ring.
What im thinking is cutting off the D ring (once everything elese is figured out and bolted in) and drilling new holes in the floor behind the front seats to accommodate the seat mounting bolts.
If you guys are still with me I want some ideas on how to:
1 Keep the seats from folding down on their own with out that d ring
2 mount the seats so they sit level
3 make sure the bolts that hold the seat in are going to hold
4 how is this going to work?
Anything helps because this plan is still on the drawing board and I need some people to help me out, if your confused about what I mean on some of this stuff go out to your first gen and fold the second row flat and imagine how to mount it backwards hahah
Thanks all
