7 passenger Waggy

[87grandwagn]

Here is the story. I got rid of my wagoneers a while ago and my wife wants another. I have offerd Excursions, tahoe's, suburbans, escalades......nope. Waggy.

Anyway, we now have 4 small kids so my question is. when I ride with her in HER waggy we need more room. Can someone do a rough measurement for me and see if the back seat could be moved towards the rear and if two more matching buckets like in the front could be put in the middle for a middle row?

I would rather do this than put a rear facing seat or another bench behind the other and all of the kids climb over and tear the seats up.

What do you think?

From what I've heard, the Jeep fold-n-tumble seats can be installed in the rear, but I don't think what you're thinking can be done without a lot of work.

I cant measure ours right now because its full of stuff, but i was looking at it a while ago and was thinking about putting in a cj or wrangler rear seat behind the one thats there. if its fold and tumble then you could fold it up when you dont need it. I always thought it would be cool

oh man Lindel you beat me by two minutes

I put a TJ fold and tumble in the rear of my wifes XJ. It worked great for two small kids and they loved looking out the back of the Jeep. It was also easy to undo it when it wasn't needed anymore.

I guess if an additional fold and tumble is my only option then ok. But I would rather put two buckets where the current fold n tumble seat is and put the foldn seat behind the buckets.

Any ideas?

From a safety standpoint, I would not even consider it.
I have seen the results on 2 occasions where the Wagoneer was stopped in traffic and was rear-ended by a vehicle going about 45 MPH.
The rear end tends to fold forward. I wouldn't want to be sitting there.

From the back of the seat to the front edge is 30". This puts the back of the seat at the tailgate and the front in the center of the wheel well(at the edge of the cargo cover just behind the original seat). The wheel well width is 31" and the width of the lower seat is 51". You would have to have a custom lower seat frame and cushion made. This would give you about 9" of foot space for the third row seat passengers after mounting buckets for the second row.

A rear facing, late model fold and tumble is the easiest and cheapest option.

A lift and a trailer hitch will help that situation. Ask the girl in the Mustang that ran into me. I drove away while she was towed away crying.
