I want to convert access cab to 5 seats.

Plasti dip or bigger tires isn't a safety issue. If Toyota thought they could safely make the rear seat fit three, I'm sure they would have. Then they would have added another 4 useless cupholders for the 3rd seat.

I don't see any possible way to add a third seat the access cab to where I would be comfortable enough to actually let someone sit in it. My rear seats remain folded down for my tools and dog. The backseat in my truck is practically useless for people

 

I tell people I have a regular cab and that it's a 2 seater.

 

just curious, is this a real possibility? if yota makes a bench for the front and I could get a different center console I'll totally do this.

got a 3rd kid due end of next mo. currently the two lil girls fit fine in the back, but I won't be able to fit the whole fam in my truck anymore.

 

If I can put buckets in my reg cab I'm sure you can put a bench in your access. If you wanna make a drive up to Montana I know a guy who really would love to get rid of his....

 

sweet! okay cool, thanks. I'll look into this more.
not sure i'm driving to MT anytime soon, though

 

So let me get this straight, you are seriosuly considering putting your three kids on some backwoods seat mod? Amazing

 

come on now people, that isn't amazing....


this is amazing...





back in the day custom cab toyota pick ups where a thing, OP just chop up the rear of the cab and make some more space!



lol classic thread revivals

 

no, I am not. I'll set you straight

what I am asking is if it's possible to swap the front 2 bucket seats for a bench seat. assuming toyota makes a bench for same model year trucks (2nd gen) with the same bolt pattern, it'd be a straight one-for-one swap.
Not exactly backwoods mod...

 

Y’all realize you bumped 8 year old thread

 

I suck sorry. Reading comprehension isnt my strong suit.

 

You should really consider a double cab. I have three kids and its tight ASF even with a DCLB.

 

all good.

yeah, but after putting all this work into mine, it's hard to let it go now. got the new frame, new(er) motor, new shocks now, soon to have new rims. etc.

 

Don't know if you use your bed but there was a guy on here who had something like this.
Not sure if its DOT approved

Kids aren’t made of glass. We use to ride around in the beds of trucks all the time and seatbelts were a factory option. We survived.
