Refit Troopy WA

The first thing you should be looking at is the vehicles compliance plate as this will state the number of bums on seats which effects the licencing, insurance etc and if you want to change the quantity then check with the motor vehicle registry.

Having said that you will probably see on the floor in the rear a whole array of bolt holes that have auotmaticaly installed for the various seating configurations like a forward facing 3 seater bench seat or the side facing bench seats. Then you just need to buy the applicable seat/s and install yourself.

1/ Can be done.
2/ Sorry can't help
3/ Can be expensive.
4/ Not necessarily as you have all the hassle and cost of blue/pink and mods/repairs to get it reg in your state.

Several things to think about.

A three seater troopy does not come with the necessary reinforcing and mounting points for either the seat of the seatbelts. Fitting aftermarket seats can be done by companies that specialise in doing this to vans etc. Make sure the final price includes engineering certification by the installer for the state in which you live/wish to register it. What is ok in one state may not comply in another.

I went through this dilemma a few times over the years, we've had four troopies and have added and changed seat configs in three of them.
The last one was factory six seater and getting a genuine one is the best way to go, You get the front swivelling passengers seat, second rear mounted door handle on passengers door, three belted seating positions in the rear and the rear seat can be folded forward to increase load are if required.
You also don't have exposed bolts for the rear belts on the outside and most six seaters come with aux tank and rear tyre mount.

So would be better to get 11 or 6/5 seater and change around that way?
