Afternoon everyone as Im relatively new to the site and you guys have been a wealth of knowledge for me I am looking to you guys for a little help....I have been planning on doing some modifications to my 2003 xlt :exp: , which I listed below..the thing is I am not sure if they are possible or are worth it,I'd like a little input from you guys as I'm kinda on the fence about things. I am in Washington Dc btw if anyone is local and know of any good spots for parts or whatever
1. Install 3rd row seating- I obtained a third row seat..it is tan and my interior is dark grey.I found a discussion on here about leatherique so I am going to dye it to match,or change all of the seats altogether. One issue I have is safety, as I am installing it where there was previously not one..how does this work accident wise? I am unsure if the models with the third row installed factory have additional airbags or whatever. Secondly, is it worth the cargo space loss to add additional people. I dont have kids yet but kinda get frustrated when I cant take a road trip and pack my friends in..u know having just 5 seats like a car.. If you guys have any ideas on where to get one in my color without the dye or other parts Im down to hear it too.
2. Install overhead heat/ac.- Since I am installing a third row I would like them to have air/heat so I was going to modify that in. There is a local junkyard with a headliner with the vents and controls all in place but I do not know what else is needed or how to install ..if it is possible
If you guys have any ideas or examples of how you have upgraded your trucks Id like to hear it too..Thanks in advance :exp:
