Oh WOW. The floor with the 3rd row is almost all the way up to the plug panel. Yeah that's got to be 4-6 inches higher.
OP, nice work!

Yes it's about 5 inches taller
I am going to do this. I have a 13’ limited and it has the 3rd row. I would like the part numbers if you would be so kind?
Now to find some poor soul, I mean nice individual, who is willing to take my 2nd and 3rd row seats.
If anyone is interested PM me. I have beige leather interior. If we need to reupholster so be it.

What is your location and what are you asking for the above components? Assuming that they're still available, of course.

I was contemplating this same conversion with a '16 Limited. Another member, replying in my thread, linked me to your thread. I am very grateful for your most thorough contribution. The provided information is definitely useful and gives me a lot to think about.

Really high quality work and great write up.
I guess things changed because my ‘21 Nightshade that I ordered in Nov of ‘20 and was delivered Jan ‘21 is factory 2 row…

hahahah this is relatable. :cry2::cry2:
Sweet, right? That covered all the hard modifications for the 2 row car to get a third row into it. But now I had a legitimate conundrum: Am I really crazy enough to weld brackets into a five week old car that I haven’t even found the ECU to disconnect yet? Fortunately, the answer is no. After more cogitation I decided that rivets and epoxy were a sufficient substitute in this application. The upper bracket only reinforces the plastic inner quarter panel. No real loading. The lower bracket is the pivot for the seatback, so there *is* some loading on it. But it’s also supported in two other places, there’s A LOT of surface area for epoxy, *and* it’s practically keyed to the panel:
Apologies for reviving an older post here, but I have a quick question to either the OP or anyone with some knowledge on these specific steps. In regards to drilling holes in the body panels for the metal brackets, would the drilled holes be exposed in the wheel wells?

Fantastic job! Would you mind PMing me, I have a couple questions that I’m hoping you can answer.
Interior quarter panel
For the interior panels, you bought from the dealer because you didn't take them out of the swapped 2 row?
I am doing something similar but simpler and hopped to find some interior parts from a totaled 2 row. Did the interior panels that you installed on your three row seem to be a direct swap?
Thanks in advance!

i'm reviving this since i'm in the process of going 3rd to regular 2 row. i need dimensions to know where to drill the floor to expose the threads for the brackets for the board that goes between the rear carpet and seats and for the bar/latch the the seat bottoms when in the down position. i already bought the insulator pad and rear carpet, not cheap unfortunately, since there aren't any trucks in salvage yards where i live. i bought the sill plate and divider board used of of ebay, so i saved a few bucks. i need the latches that bolt to the inner quarter to recline the backs, the seat bottom brackets and bolts, the board brackets and bolts, etc. i've been looking for the trim panels but all the yards around me crush the carcasses with all interior pieces in them. if i don't find good used ones, i'll be forced to buy new, at almost $1000 for both and that doesn't include the anchor points/D rings for them. i've even called yards out of state and they don't have the parts.
i was reading that the power inverters are also different because the panels are different. it's not hard work, it's just tedious locating the parts unless bought new but are pricey. i'm in the tampa area if someone wants to buy my 3rd row and associated parts and come and see what i am doing.

i need some answers here, since i'm in the process of going to regular cargo floor with back seat. when bolting down the 2nd row driver side back, i see you used 2 bolts. in my truck, since it has a 3rd row, it only has one spot for upper bolt. when i measured and drilled for the other bolt, i went through the floor metal without a nut behind it or reinforcement. now i just have a hold that i'll either weld shut or just silicone it. i either leave it with one bolt per side or use nut serts but no need to buy a kit for 2. the truck originally came with 3rd row, so i hope i don't have more "blind" holes. up to this point, everything else has been fine. rear seat bottoms are in and were easy. seat backs are next but need the 2 brackets for per side for pivot points. if i don't find them used, i'll be forced to buy new inner wheel wells for them.
Im the new owner
I currently own this vehicle.
I bought Dr. Monkeypant's vehicle last year from Jim's Auto in Harbor City, CA. Wondering if anybody has his contact info and ping him that I would love to talk to him about all the awesome upgrades I am benefiting from.
I have his name off an old Registration form i found in the owners manual and have messaged all with that name on Linkedin but did not get a response. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
