3rd row 03 xlt explorer

[strracerx]

I did a search on this conversion, but i could not find a concrete write up for to add a 3rd row seat to a 03 xlt. I found write ups for the 1st and 2nd gen, but the non for the 3rd gen. It looks like I have mounts for the 3rd row and the rear quater panels have cup holders. any help or links would be greatly appreciated.

You should have the mounts for the 3rd row from the factory. To do this you would need:
-->a third row of seats (obviously)
-->2nd row seat brackets from a 3rd row equipped 3rd gen
-->2nd row seats that match said brackets^

You need the second row stuff because the second row folds up to allow access to the third row.

Do a write up for it That sounds like something worthy of elite privileges for a month or two as it seems like a lot of people are curious about it.
