NICE!

 

I am bringing this back up and like the idea of the ambulance belts for seat belts! can you advise me of where i might find some of the belts? also do you have more pictures of where you mounted them and so on? also the stock clasp for the stock seatbelt in the seat, did you remove it? or use it?


Thanks in advance

 

seat belts

I too need advice on seat belts... I want to install the 3rd row but am wondering about seat belts.

 

Hey Yall, Here is the link that I posted with my 3-point Corbeau seatbelt harnesses to help everyone out on Seatbelt options. My oldest son (12 years old) loves his 3 point harness for the 3rd row seat and mounted both passengers seats in the 3rd row with these.

what size bolts did you use instead of the nutserts?

 

I used the same bolts but bought lock washers and nuts for them! Now with my knowledge of nutserts and having the right tool I would've done the nutserts... They were a pain to bolt on unless you have a body lift of can make room to out your fingers through the frame and wires.

can you put someone who is 5'6" in the seat and take a picture. plus to have their impression about seating. thanks.

 

This is me and my buddy. I am 6'2" 290 and he is 6' 270 and we fit with the second row up! Everyone says it is snug, but if we can fit then anyone can fit

Tera flex bracket for jk seat

Does any one know the dementions on the teraflex brackets to fit a rear seat from a 2 door into 4 door as a third row. I want to make them my self

 

This just seems like a really bad, horrible, terrible idea to me.

 

Looks like someone in the back of a 2 door would suffer the same fate, so don't let them sit in the back of your 2 doors!!!

 

If that was a 2 door the rear tire would not have impeded on the area of the passenger seat. Plus the rear seat in the 2 door is anchored a lot better than bolting through the sheet metal for the third row and using non DOT compliant seat belts. if it was a safe idea Jeep would sell it that way. Seating for 7 would be a great selling point, don't you think? But it's not safe enough for Jeep to pass crash tests in that configuration. I'm really surprised any company is willing to step up and offer a product for this conversion. The liability is far to great to outweigh the profits on selling this in my opinion. One kid dying in a seat that was converted by a companies kit would bankrupt the company.

Uhh...are you having technical difficulties over there?

 

I'm not sure what kind of reaction you're trying to get from me, but you're making yourself look pretty stupid repeating the same sentence in 3 consecutive posts. At first I thought it was an error but you obviously don't have anything constructive to add to this post. If this was in Chit Chat I'd have other words for you. Have a good day.

 

Actually you were the one that was adding nothing constructive by inserting an opinion that no one asked for. If the post goes back to talking about what the gentleman was asking for then that is the reaction I was looking for. Good day to you as well

 

The great thing about forums is that not everyone has to share the same opinion. My opinion is that adding a 3rd row seat to a vehicle not designed for it or tested for it is unsafe. I provided pictorial documentation, and what I got in return was 3 replies with the same nonsensical sentence. If you would like to have an "adult discussion" about it, by all means go ahead. But if you want to act like a kid with your hands over your ears yelling "LA LA LA LA" then kindly piss off.

I am having a déjà Vue !?

:koolaid2:

 

I've never owned a 2-door, but don't they share the same rear body/frame design. Looking at my 4-door it looks like Jeep just inserted some extra length in the middle, as you can see the seams in the body. if that's the case, then how is mounting a seat in the rear portion of a 4-door any different than the one mounted in the same position of a 2-door?

I guess it could be argued that the mounting points or brackets might not be as strong as the factory 2-door provisions, but that's just a small engineering exercise to fix. If the small rear crumple zone is sufficient for a 2-door rear seat, why would the same not be true for a 4-door with a seat mounted in the same position relative to the rear of the Jeep?

Am I missing something? I've got a set of these brackets and a 2-door seat sitting in the shop to go in. I just have not done it yet due to the upholstery not matching.

 

Not that my opinion was asked for either, but...

Manufacturers design crumble zones in vehicles in order to pass crash safety tests. In the two door model they have to stop the crumble before it reaches the passengers by some means. I assume they may have done the same thing with the 4-door version. Basically, you are possibly putting your kids INSIDE the crumble zone.

I am not an engineer and this could be completely safe.

People should reply no matter what the original poster wants if it relates to safety of a life, especially a child.

 

That's the point. You have no idea how it effects the vehicle, because they have not tested it. They also don't test 4" lifts and 40" tires which changes everything from braking distances to handling, but people don't go into those threads and Sally Struthers it up under the guise of "the children"

If the title or subject was "Is a third row seat a good idea or give me your thoughts on the Teraflex 3rd row seat" I would 100% percent say fire away with your opinion. Since it is not, why don't we stay on topic as this is a write up post.

If you want to discuss the merits of the third row just hit the "New Post" button and fire away.
