forward facing rear seats for troop carriers

Years ago not long after the Americas Cup in Fremantle, Ben Lexun & Toyota came up with a troopy with a side sliding door and back seats facing forward which from memory could slide around as well. It was a good design and I'm surprised Toyota didn't keep it going. I think it was an "Adventurer Model".
Maybe you can still source those seats but without the side sliding door, access to the seats will be difficult.

Rich,

Try some of the Van wreckers around town. I helped my old man kit out a commercial (bare) econovan to one with trimmed carpets and seats. From memory most of the Mitsubishi express middle row of seats and some transit vans had flat feet to mount on the floor. You can get some pretty exotic middle row seats, but if you have to go cutting legs and welding extensions when you havent got the right gear, it gets hard quickly.
The middle row seats can often be flipped back-to-front, so they can be either forward or rear facing, but beware of the seatbelts if you go getting one of these. if they rely on lap-sash belts, you may come to grief on mounting them, short of bolting steel bar across windows to get the right positions for belt hangers.

I had a 92 troopie that had forward facing seats it was an RV. I dont know if they all had them. I still have the seats im in kalgoorlie but the seats are in VIC. I will be going over there in Oct if your interested?

I recently was talking to a rep from a 4WD hire company who said this was a quite common requirements for the mine sites (WH&S requirements) and from memory said it was about $15,000. I would start with one of the 4WD hire companies who deal with mine sites for a bit of advice.
