had a look at fitting the NL fridge ... this is only a 50 litre but it's huge, i'm thinking of doing the same as "go beyond" and removing a middle row seat

take all 3 out and fit 2 fronts in? seen it done and it works well with centre fridge etc


Yeah I've see that in a double cab, they made a new seat box and put things like a compressor and stuff under the seats Thumbs Up


I have seen this too, but how would you get the seat braces in as in the 110 there is a curve from the wheel arch on either side closest to the door frame ? Also, i would imagine by doing that you are altering the saftey issue from the original seats which may result in making it hard to insure...

By all means i like the idea and actually spoke to someone about it, but these are the questions they asked me that i couldn't answer.

After what happened with the g4 110 and the poor kids who lost their lives, I'd be a tad cautious.
However, there are ways of doing it, as long as the brackets are made sturdy enough, it depends on how cute the MoT man is........
