Anyone have any idea how to modify the front driver and passenger seats to be able to turn and face the backseat?

Basically, is there a mechanism that would allow me to turn the seats to face the rear just when I wanted to? Are there specific seats and rotating mechanisms that would allow me to do this? Or do I need to be able to detach the back of the seat and latch it to either side depending on which way I want to be facing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

wow good question. Wlcome to TMS first off. Turing the seat in there would be reall tough I think unless you can make the console or at least part on the console removeable. I am sure you could get the parts to make it happen tho.

 

welcome!

ummm why?

 

Toying around with a tail-gate sort of idea.

But an example, you could use a barstool or other swivelling seat for this.

Technically speaking, it's simple: Disassemble to reveal the basic lazy susan part. Modify and iInstall large poundage lazy susan between the tracks and the seat bottom. This may require you fabricate a proper set of mounting plates or braces. While fabricating, make sure it has lockable stops, one doesn't want the seat to turn whilst driving, after all.

Understand that this *entirely changes the safety characteristics of the seat* and therefore it is advisable you do not have a wreck.

From a practical point of view, the rotation of the seats in either direction is likely not possible because of the console and/or driveshaft hump interfering with the seat back/front. But maybe you'll be lucky.

Pics/videos when it happens!

 

Not a bad idea--clever
