Howdy all, I'm new to this 4WD forum and am wondering if anyone out there knows if it is possible to install extra bench seats in a 6 seater troopy? Also any info on costs would be greatly appreciated. Also would I need to install lap sash or shoulder belts?

Hi Brett and Miki,

I don't think you would be able to fit an "across the back" bench seat as you would find access next to impossible. You could however fit the rear pair of the bench seats from an 11 seater behind the middle seat and the bolt holes should be there already. Got some for sale if you need them.
Regards
Ian

It may be possible, but you will need to seek the advice of an automotive engineer at the very least. A friend of mine many years ago installed a bench seat in his Troop Carrier and needed to jump through quite a few hoops. Lap sash seat belts were certainly a minimum. He had it done through an aftermarket seating supplier from memory, so they provided the necessary engineering certification. If it hasn't been done before, you're likely to be up for quite some costs, if it can be done legally at all.

Thanks for the advice Ian and Nissan. Think I will have a good look into all my options before jumping into things too soon.

Thanks again, Brett and Miki
