97yota's fully caged 4wd long travel build

sideways seat?

 

i was thinking in the back all the way up against the side...

no?

were going to try and notch out the hump in the floor before we do anything else.

oh, and locker purchased

 

it wont be used when full blown prerunning or anything, just like when i go to the lake an extra seat and stuff.

thoughts?

 

Yeah the rangers seats are sidways, and give you a super small area, way smaller then the taco's.

Good to see your so busy on your truck!

 

While the tundras are wider, they are the same...

 

no

 

and if i somehow fit it forward..

thoughts? by notching the hump in the back seat, height is the only downfall to that

 

yeah most people sit sideways in the back of my truck anyways..

and in a 5pt harness what could happen?

 

Ever heard someone hit their head in your back seats? Right now you dont have tubes that will split your head wide open. I can almost guarantee the will not be enough clearance for your head to the roll bar tubes. Your going to kill someone back there if they hit their head. And you wouldnt even have to crash to do it, just a good hard jolt front to back. Maybe if your lucky their head will just go through your back window

 

that's if you could convince anybody that they should crawl in to a sideways seat in a caged truck. it's already a pain in the ass to get into the back without a cage and suspension seats

we're telling ya eric... just go with 2 seats

 

i would not sit sideways in the back lol, just saying.

 

ill have bar pads everywhere if that counts for anything lol...

fml ill check it out when i go to the shop saturday.

ill put myself back there and see if i would do it.

 

good point. how the hell is anyone even gonna get back there after you brace everything? you should have tubes in the way. did you already buy 3 seats? dont worry i'll take it off your hands

 

you'll never be sitting back there so that test won't help...lol

there's a reason you have never seen an extra cab tacoma w/ a 3rd seat. hell, the double cabs are tight when you cage the truck and have seats in the back

 

well...

well.

fuck you guys lol. JK.

i did get a 3rd seat, a small cheap one from DTFtacoma.

and we kind of have an idea on how to get someone back there. idk ill check it out on sat morning or tomorrow night and see whats going on..

 

Sorry but here is my predicition in a quick paint (sorry your truck had to be green so the blood would stand out)

 

looks painful

 

And Accurate, friend of mine had an old S10 with the side ways seats, got in a little fender bender when I was in the back seat, pretty much did what the pic describes, minus the blood as stock seats are kind of soft. Race seats I don't think would be so forgiving

 

I fixed it too lol

 

Yes have you seen jonsangel's truck on ttora? Im pretty sure ive seen you post there. The photos of him in the backseats! You would break your knee caps at any kind of speed. His truck is bad ass but idk about sitting back there
