- We have had a lot of questions on how will a family of 6 fit into a 5 passenger seat Jeep Wrangler?? Well, we installed a 3rd row in the rear and this video shows how we did it and how it is safe and secure!! This is not our daily driver, however we will utilize it when we are going on offroad adventures!

I tip my hat to you and I love your videos and I’m planning on RVing real soon....May GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY OUT ON YOUR TRAVELS
The seat come with hardware ?
As a father of 4 I crossed Jeep off my list of possible vehicles but now maybe I can convince my wife to get one now.
With a death trap seat?
Dustin Serbin apparently you didn’t watch the video. He put a lot of thought into the safety aspect of the set up. Looks pretty safe to me.
@@clownofdiscordgaming9527 look online about how energy is transferred in an accident and why the 3 point should and lap is the standard in safety, and why racing harnesses snap necks unless there is a HANS device. I'm sure a bungee cord can hold someone on a roof, but that doesn't sound good either.
Wranglers have terrible crash ratings as it is compared to other SUVS, why would you put your children in something that is even more unsafe?
@@bennybobanger7841 The seatbelts and roll bars seem safe but I would worry about the young kids necks being jarred and jostled during off roading. Their necks are just not as strong as a teen or adult. Hopefully they'll go on very very easy roads.
That is cool. I’m honestly surprised Jeep hasn’t come out with a 3rd row style to attract larger families.
Thank you!! Maybe they will one day!
they were talking about bringing the commander back 3 rows
Chris Ludwig
We used to have a 06’ Commander with a 4.7L V8 before I got a 2013 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited 10th Anniversary Edition. Was a great vehicle, and was great for towing stuff with as well! Ended up buying a 08’ Dodge Ram 1500 to tow with after realizing the Wrangler just can’t tow enough...
Deereman lol we had same year with the hemi. it was a great truck. we have 4 kids haha we bought a ram too. we pull just a camper with it
It’s not practical, the Jeep is already cramped inside, you’d only be able to fit small adults or kids if you add a 3rd row, unless you have the top off all the time
You've put a lot of thought into it. For what it's worth, perhaps trim and round the zip ties so they don't rub. Also, I've rolled a jeep going down the highway rolling one and a half times. I'm lucky to be alive. Give your kids something to hang on to so their hands and arms don't flop around in case of a rollover. That way they don't grab the bar overhead while rolling. Lastly, I would get everything on the bar welded. Bolts with shear off with force. After my rollover, the entire roll bar was bent.
Yikes... ok thanks for the suggestions.
As a fellow jeep owner and huge fan of mopar, I wish jeep never stopped making the Commander. I guess the grand Cherokee is going to have a 3rd row model, but they're so small. And when kids get older/taller, the Commander is the perfect jeep for a family and for trail driving. PLEASE JEEP, BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL 3RD ROW, THE COMMANDER
Or a stretched older Grand Wagoneer!
Mount a high lift jack on the front bumper. If you plan on any true off roaring roading you'll be glad you have the high lift jack - can't count all the times and reasons we used ours during our jeeping years.
Thanks!! I do plan on getting one at some point!
L KJ why the front bumper? I have been thinking about getting one but not sure where to put it
@@Whiteandsonsgarage We mounted it there because there was room and it was easy to get to.
You did a good job. Your kids safety comes first. Kudos to you and everyone that helped you on your project. BTW, nice Jeep.
Thank you 😊
Random internet person’s opinion.
1. I think there’s a reason that most of the racing harnesses clip to a bar behind the seat perpendicular to your back, I believe it keeps it straighter in a wreck.
2. With your little ones in the 4 point harness watch out for submarining. Very dangerous, you can avoid this with a 5 point harness or ASM 4 points. In some cases 4 point harnesses are less safe than factory 3 points.
That being said, very cool!! The fiancé and I are looking at a Jeep but want a big family so this is just what we needed to see! Have fun and stay safe
My only things I wasn't sold on was that I felt like a submarine belt should have been present, and there should be a bar welded across the frame at the back to attach the belts to. I'd also have that welder attach the roll bar permanently. I love the idea of a third row in a wrangler. I just found your page so you might have done a few of these, so I'm going to check your stuff out! Keep Jeeping!
Also a family of 6 here! We automatically deleted Jeep from our list of possible vehicles because of the lack of third row. Super cool seeing you guys make this work! I'm sending this video to my husband!! 😊😊❤️😊😊
Thanks!! Glad y’all enjoyed it and found it helpful!!
Awe I sure miss my Jeep Rubicon. It was white I called her "Daisy" from the Dukes of Hazzard. Don't forget to do the Jeep wave. Probably in the next year or so I'll be getting another Jeep. The big Jeep invasion of the Great Smoky Mountains is August 23-25. Jeeps and Jeep suppliers come all over United States will be there. Millions of Jeeps are in the Smoky Mountains that weekend. Then they do a thing called "Jeeps invade Cades Cove " on the last day of the event. Something to keep in mind. It's a big huge event. It would absolutely blow your mind of the amount of Vendors and Dealers and Jeeps.
We would love to but will be in Wyoming or Montana by then. Thanks tho!!
Move the third-row seat 1in forward, cut the side mounts, and re-weld them back. cut the front mount 1 in and re-drill the hole. this will give you more storing space when you riding with less than 5 people. simple and easy to re-do. also store the jack below the third seat for easier access. I Have a lifted jeep that requires a bigger jack than the factory jack. I got rid of the factory jack and bought a heavy 5 ton jack to lift the jeep. Fits perfect under the back seats.
P.S.great video
Thank you!! I might do that! I am also planning on getting a high lift jack.
Just remember to install ur jack outside the Jeep some how, u don't want it flopping around in case of a roll over.
Agreed. Thanks
@@LoftisPartyofSix ur welcome, I have a 2014 Ford F150 4x4 and I mounted an emergency tool box in the bed because I didn't want tools in the cab if I had a roll over. I rolled a car in the early 70's and things do fly around so I have always kept this in mind.
Kenneth C. Great point mate, I’ve seen it end really bad when it’s been inside the car
Nice job! I did the same thing in the bed of our Toyota Tundra. Custom frame, racing seats and four-point harnesses for the kids. We also have a cap on the back of the truck (as required by New York State law). I just got a small plug-in cooler that fits between the seats for their refreshments!
As for your jack, you could get a High-Lift jack that you can bolt to your hood, fender or bumpers. As someone else mention, you don’t want any projectiles within the Jeep if you have an accident. Be safe... we look forward to your new Jeep adventures!
That sounds awesome!! Thank you and safe travels to y’all as well!!
You and your wife are so talented. Your rv and jeep renovations are so impressive!
Thank you 😊
You did a great job! My only concern is where the lap belt lays across the hips. Make sure it does indeed sit on the hips, and not across their belly. Thanks for sharing a bit of your lives with us ❤️
Thank you
I have concerns about the lap belt as well for Grady.
@@jennytrevor As a former CPST, when did they start providing training for racing harnesses? And, as a CPST, how do you feel comfortable endorsing something that has had not crash safety testing or certification? Racing Harnesses are designed for adults, not for working in conjunction with child passenger restraints. As a CPST, you put yourself and your sponsoring organization at risk by even bring up the CPST certification.
Thanks for that clarification. I wasn’t meaning to condone the racing seat belts. I cannot recommend using the racing seat belts for kids. Just meant to give the two tips for general circumstances that you should have lap belt over hips and shouldn’t knot/tie the seat belts. Definitely encourage you to get checked by a CPST.
Michael you're airways very thorough and I have no doubt your kids will be as safe as humanly possible.
Thank you!!
@@LoftisPartyofSix You're welcome
Since the kids are so small you may want to take an idea from backpacks and create a simple chest strap to keep the shoulder straps from slipping off their shoulders. Regardless of how reasonably snug you make the straps, there just isn’t enough little person there to keep the harness tight.
Great idea!! Thanks
Newer Sub here from Oregon, I Love your channel. It’s so refreshing to see young Christian couples that walk the walk! Not just talk the talk. I admire you and your wife the way you are raising your little ones. Well done Mama and Daddy! It’s also so cool to see folks your age in such great financial shape to live this lifestyle in today’s world. Another well done! It’s all about God and Family! Your both such amazing parents. That will payoff big time. God Bless and keep you all. Thank you for sharing your lifestyle with us.
Thank you so much!!
Smart. I think this is the best 3rd seat modification I’ve seen.
Thanks
Great video. You can also get a hitch basket and a spare tire basket for additional storage when the top is off.
Thank you
Excellent job on the jeep. I used to build and race mopars back in the 90s. Those RJS seatbelts caused a flashback to my drag racing days. Very good quality and nice welds!
That’s good to know!! Thank you!!
@@LoftisPartyofSix I used to run those seat belts in 1970 Barracuda with 484cid stroker vintage Hemi, 6 point roll bar, 4.10 spool, 3.5" Flowmaster mufflers, Mickey Thompson ET Street drag racing DOTs....ah I better stop or be selling my 5th wheel for another one :~) Anyway you can catch a quick glimpse of that old car in this video....th-cam.com/video/Xs03cMANKuM/w-d-xo.html
This video makes me want to buy a Jeep even more with or without the third row seats. Just ingenious even with the minor flaws
Thanks!! Glad ya enjoyed it!! And Jeeps are great!!
At first I was skeptical, by honestly this does seem safe and I'd let my own kid ride in it.
Loosen the shoulder straps and tighten the lap belt to bring it lower if needed to keep it off their stomach area. Just found out we will have four 4 and under. I started looking at swapping my trucks front center console for a jump seat. Guess what, the safety police instantly share their opinions. You’re kids are just as safe in the back of your Jeep as someone driving an SUV. There are pros/cons to everything and anyone who says you’re not being safe should consider things like the amount of glass that will shatter in their factory 3rd row SUV.
Good job!
Thank you 😊
I had to sell my Jeep because of becoming parents of 4. This video has just inspired me to be a Jeeper again! I am going to install a third row and be able to take my whole family in it!
Just so you guys know, the US Army has these food carriers that are the size of a 5 gallon military gas can. The top lid comes off with latches and they are very well insulated. Mine came with an aluminum food bucket that fit inside it, that lifted out of the gas can type carrier.
(Guess it's for putting out the food on the serving table with out having to remove the entire gas can thing.
I have heard they make shorter stackable food buckets so they can carry more than one entre hot to the Troops in the feild. But never seen one)
I don't haul gasoline in the swing out carrier on the rear of my rig on the trail, but I do use the 5 gallon food can as a drink cooler. It fits in the gas can carrier tray of my swing out tire carrier just like a Military Gas Can. We CAN carry 2 cans back there with the 35" rear spare tire. But, since I run dual fuel tanks on my rig, I carry one 5 gallon Blitz Water jug on one side and the Military ice can on the other side. My kitchen, with stove, hangs off my swing out tire carrier (in open position), for cooking when camping, so having the water can and ice chest/ drink cooler there is perfect. Wish I could post up a picture of it. You guys would love it. (Found a picture of it. It's a German Food Carrier from the 60's) images.app.goo.gl/p6Xa44EUSwrB753p8
Also, They make a gear rack that can be bolted to the outside of the spare tire that will give you more options too! Love watching you and the Family exploring in your Bus. I did the same with my family during Summer breaks from school. Parents did it with my 3 brothers and myself in the 50's too!
I have a family of 6 too got here because I'm researching on do the exact same thing. My oldest is 8 as well
Omg this is sooo cool. Im currently looking into buying another jeep and this is a great idea.
Question though, is this even legal?? If u get pulled over and such
I don’t think they’d know lol
That's amazing . I love the seat belt harness for your kids . You went far above beyond for the safety for your children.
Thank you
Amazon job! I love how you kept your kids safety as a priority. So, no bad comments from me. Jeep dads are Cool Dads! Lol I’m watching as I want to add a 3rd row just bcs it’s just freaking cool, Only one Kido so he can sit where ever.
I'm glad you delete the bad guys! We don' t have to read their comments. You did an awesome job on this extra seat. You really did your homework, looks great! Love your channel. :)
Thank you 😊
You put yourselves out there and someone makes a remark you delete them wow really
Just a thought...you could keep the Jack in the Jeep always. It will probably be towed behind the r.v at most times. So you would still have it. Great tips! We have 5 kids, it may be a great future option for us.
I have always wanted a jeep but always checked it off my list because of the lack of the 3rd row seating. Now, it’s back on my list! Thank you so much for making this video! It’s so informative!
Michael great job making sure your children will be safe riding in the third seat . Thanks for showing how you did it .
Thank you
I love your vlogs and always get excited to see the next instalment.You have done an amazing job, the three rows look like they were always there and you researched so well. Being a parent I completely understand the need to ensure your children are as safe as possible, lovely children so polite. xx
It warms my heart and greatly impresses me to see the lengths you have gone to ensure your families safety! Happy trails to you and your family as you continue on your journey.
Thank you so much
Highlight of the video: Seatbelts and 3rd Row Bar. Extremely impressed with those. Thumbs up!!!
Thank you
You should also do the mod where you mount regular front seats on the second row. The middle seat is worthless, so there's that. That also gives an egress point to the front of the jeep.
Great job! May I suggest that you have the nuts welded on to the plates and the plates welded to the frame. This way it would be easier to remove that seat frame. You can carry a battery powered impact with you in case you need the jack. Also you may be able to cut the long bracket that goes to the second row bolt and install a heavy duty hinge. This way you only have to remove to two rear bolts. Just a thought. Again great job. Love the Jeep.
I know I’m a little late to this party, but it seems to me like the plastic being bolted in between your body and the new welded seat platform would just smash and possibly allow enough movement to shear the bolts and fling the seat out. You might remount the seat platform underneath the plastic pieces.
Great job! I’ve been a Jeep Wrangler fan and owner for 45 years and did not know this was a option. I think you did great with the custom floor bracket and the install. Now I have a 17 Rubicon but will be trading for a Gladiator so no since for a 3 row install. Love your channel, positivity, smiles and your endeavors. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!! The Gladiators look really cool!! I would love to see them do a 2 door Gladiator!
As for storage, keep it simple and go with a hitch carrier. Cheap and easy and plenty of room for a grocery trip or cooler. You can’t off-road with a hitch mount one (zero departure angle!) but it’ll get you to the store and back.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I wouldn’t recommend it. Puts a lot of weight on the rear end, and brings the front suspension up some, resulting in death wobble. Happened constantly with a hitch carrier with all our cargo on a 13’ Jeep Rubicon Unlimited.
We’ve had a hitch carrier for years and have used it for multiple long-range trips across the country and thousands of miles with absolutely no issues pre and post lift.
I sent this my husband and he was geeked! I just want to see how the roof goes back on!
No issues with getting the roof on.. it all fits perfectly.
Ah so it's just the soft top which doesn't fit over the new roll bar?
Tony Snook that’s correct.. the new bar won’t allow it!
I've had my Jeep for nearly five years and I had no idea the rear mat was reversible.. Mind blown..!! Great video, thanks for all of the details.. cheers... :)
😎👍
So cool! I always wished that those wranglers would just come standard with third rows 🙄
👍
Loftis Party of Six - weROAM , you ought to talk your welder into making his frames in his spare time.
Agreed. I'd put an order in immediately.
I never thought this was possible. We are a family of five and later of six. I will definitely keep this in mind.
Yep 👍
I’m glad you did a very safe job & great looking also. I will add do not let your kids think the roll bar is a thing to hold on too. Very dangerous if you did roll & they grab that . So i suggest getting two paracord type grab handles that mount on the front head rests. Make them grab them instead. Thanks
Good tip.. thanks
Man., that set up is perfect
I’m going to steal you whole set up.
I'm a newbie, so currently going from your oldest video to current and am up to this one. I just wanted to say that your third row seat addition is AMAZING, and so well thought out. Family of 6 here too. Oh, and I LOVE, LOVE your car. Nicole from Australia
Thank you 😊
This was a great mod video and I loved the detail that went into it. Also appreciate your concern for safety particularly where the kids are concerned. Just curious whether you researched how much of a crumple zone Jeeps have in the back? That would be my greatest concern from the perspective of getting rear ended...I was in a multiple car wreck on the highway as a kid in the rear seat and was amazed how the trunk of our car was just compressed like an accordion. Later, I found out that many vehicles are designed with certain areas (crumple zones) front and back to be weaker and absorb the impact...an area you wouldn’t want to be physically in.
You did awesome I’m looking into buying a Jeep and adding a 3rd row is awesome and the safety parts are awesome not just for kids but for who ever is back there. You did amazing my husband is a welder and you gave us some great plans!
Great! Glad this video was a help to y’all!
Nice! First time seeing a 3rd row wrangler!! Nicely done bro! When a man wants something done, he gets it done
You did a great job, I’m impressed. I think if it was me I would tried to get the seat frame redone so that you could close the gate with the seat down and access the jack. But that May take too much leg room. We have a big family and I love how your making things work for you all.
I might do something to change it in the future but for now it will work.
Im waiting for the second part of the Bus and see the final renovation result 😜 Blessings 🐞🌷🐝💐💟😘
Thank you
I think you thought this out very thoroughly and it is a great idea and it looks very cool! It looks like it is factory-made!
Michael this is awesome! Job well done sir. My husband is going to be excited and want to do this with his. His first vehicle was a Jeep Wrangler, it’s been in his grandparents barn for awhile now. I don’t think we could fit a family of 7 though 😢 Good luck with it. Happy Adventures Thanks for sharing 💕
We had 7 in ours yesterday! A friends kid sit between the 2 car seats in the middle row. Thanks for watching
amazing job! Love all the safety modifications and all the thought you have put into this. Can't wait to see you all go for that first, fun ride. Thanks so much for taking us along your journey. Safe travels!
Thank you 😊
Also I’m a small youtuber I started posting yesterday!!!But other then that I also like that you actually respond to you fans and stuff!❤️🤍
Good luck with your channel & yes we try to reply back to our viewers.
Loftis Party of Six - weROAM that is so good if I grow mine up I would do the same
After being pulled over by a sheriff my husband found out that the larger tires totally changed the speedometer. He was driving 10 miles faster that the speedometer was saying. An app will help you find out the true speed you are traveling at. My husband was lucky and only got a warning.
Yes they do mess up the speed limit. You can have the vehicle computer recalculated to correct it. Thanks for watching
thanks for this video. My wife and I have 4 kids as well and really want a jeep or a convertible but everything only has 4 to 5 seats. highly considering doing this
Nice job as far as shutting the back door just have them re-weld the bracket and move it to the right which would also be better because you don’t have to open the back door tailgate as much for the kids to get in
Thank you
You sent me this link after I watched your rev video last night and I must say my mind is blown! I did read Jeep is releasing a 3rd row in 2020 but I had no idea people were doing this themselves.
Great video love how you make things work for you.
Thank you 😊
Outstanding brother!!!!! This was exactly what I wanted to show my wife. Hit the safety features perfectly. Videos like this is why youtube was created.
Thanks
Love it great job thank you for sharing I’m thinking about getting my son a jeep and you made me aware of so many things I didn’t know.
Wow... pretty cool! Now my GF will never leave me alone about wanting a Jeep with our 2 kids! I had her pretty much convienced it was never gonna happen. Now I’m starting it like it myself! AWD SUV’s just don’t have the same capabilities as true 4x4’s! Pretty awesome tho! Congrats on the new mods! Now let’s see if off road with all
The kidos! I bet it will be a blast!
Thank you
This is so cool! Man I wish I knew this when my kids were still small!
This is sweet. One thing tho I would look at a different way to mount the shoulder straps. Having them come down like that can cause damage to your kids spines in a accident.
I’m not sure what you mean. How the shoulder straps come down like what?
I was always thought that having your shoulder belts mounted to the bottom will compress the spine. You want them mounted so they only bent around the body at a 90° bend. This is why the pivot point on your factory shoulder belt is mounted up high so it presses you back in to the seat and not in a downward position. Hard to explain here let me see if I can find a video
Love love love !!! I also have 4 children and thought getting a jeep would be so out of the question. Thank you so much for sharing !
Thanks for watching!!
I think the third seat is fantastic your very talented
Thank you 😊
This was my first mod on my 2015 jk Sahara I used the teraflex kit and the rear seat from a 2 door jk
vegagiraldo sounds like another great option! Do you happen to know if it's street legal and if there's a video on The Teraflex kit you used?
Look into the Gobi roof rack. Rack that goes over the hardtop but allows the hard top to be taken off without removing the rack
I have looked at those but it’s a 6 week wait from when you order. Very nice racks though!!
Would the door close if the seat frame was shorter or closer to the right instead lf the left? Your frame hugs the left and doesn’t close on the left. How about moving the frame closer to the right? That would of course need the welds to be longer on the left than the right to hug right up on the right and passengers would get in on the left. Great video and TIA! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
4 point harness needs a rear cross bar to raise the fixed point to where in an accident it wont compress the spine.
From one Loftis to another - impressive engineering project. 👍
Thanks 😎
Awesome video. I have been getting a lot of questions about fitting car seats into a Wrangler and how to go 3 wide. I wrote an article about it and new people had been installing a third seat, but I had not seen it done yet. This is great. I really like what you have done. Clearly your kids will remember your adventures and the Jeep! I have a Grand Wagoneer because my Grandfather had one and we used to take vacations in it. I'm looking now for another Wrangler... Oh and my father is dying to find an RV to go travel.
Thank you 😊
Until you get a high lift jack, grab an extra ratchet and appropriate size socket & wrench, keep them in the glove box. Worst case scenario, you can remove the 3rd row seat to get to the jack. You know at some point you'll forget to take your spare jack, and that'll be the time you need it . . . :)
Good idea!! Thank you!!
Looks good. The kids are gonna have a ton of fun riding around in the Jeep. Hope to run into y'all again. Safe travels and God bless y'all
Thanks Doug!! We’ll be back to TX again!!
Awesome job. Just a note that if you had shifted seat to passenger side instead of driver side, access would have been easier and tailgate probably would have closed even with seat folded. Love my jeep!
Yes this was something I just wasn’t thinking about. Thank you
Solution... Have your welder simply cut the front tab shorter and reposition the hole and move the side tabs back a bit or drill a hole farther back.
Yep it’s an easy fix.. just haven’t fixed it yet 😉
I watched this video when came out didn’t own Jeep but was thing of getting now have a jl. Love it stock now....
This looks awesome and is very reassuring! Have fun! I'm excited for you all!
Nice job. Not sure if it has been mentioned or if you thought about it but put some padding on the rear rollbar on the side angles. In the event of a side impact heads can move greatly in one direction or another and you want to make sure those are padded.
Yes I’m looking for a padding like the rest of the Jeep has. Thanks
My dad puts Jeep seats in the back of our Saturn vue's
They work great!
Great job! When you get new rims make sure to have the correct offset so you can eliminate those spacers. Like the 3rd row and this would have been great 3 years ago with our family of 5. Now our oldest is off to college so back to the OEM models. 😁
I really like my rims.. but who knows, I might upgrade someday. Thanks for watching!
Michael, GREAT JOB my friend! Very well thought out and planned. I believe them babies will be just fine. ( Don't forget your jack!) Lol
Thank you 👍
please link the seatbelts and rollbar extension. get a tire carrier with rack mounts and a bumper carrier. it will maintain a lower center of gravity and give more protection for the kiddos. God bless you brother.
Those links are in the description of the video! I am planning on those items you mentioned. Thanks
I keep coming back to your video as a template for my 3rd row installation. Thank you for showcasing!
Glad it helped!! One thing I would do differently is move the seat more to the right or up an inch or two so that when the seat lays flat I can shut the tailgate. Other than that I love it!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻wow amazing! We are a family of 6 as well And now more than ever I want a Jeep 😩
Father of 4 Jeep dream just got resurrected thanks
😎👍
That looks sweet post a video of all six of you in it. Look awesome. You could always get a basket to slide into the 2" receiver.
Thank you 😊
Amazing job on the third row! We are also a family of 6. I would love to add a third row down the road. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!!
Great Jeep dad! Wish I had this option when my boys were young.. great video
Thank you!
Awsome! We have 4 kiddos and are full time as well. Hubby has always wanted a jeep.
Thank you 😊
This is AWESOME!! GREAT JOB DAD!! So glad that y'all are being blessed so ABUNDANTLY!! GOD is GREAT!
Yes HE is!! Thank you!!
Great job designing your setup. Quality construction. And it will grow with your kids.
Very cool getting a bronco soon and this looks like something I may try to do with it.
K02s are great! (Got a pair of 35s myself on my Rubi JLU). But I've seen them pop if you hit the wrong (or right?) rock off roading. Good info on this vid! Thanks!
If you ever version 2 the bracket offset it to the passenger side instead of sliding it forward. Easier for them to get in and pass on side the door opens AND the buldge that hits the seat will slide into the void the kids walk through.
Great job though.
Thanks 😊
Thank you for making such a thorough video! I’ve been searching for info on how to do this since we got our Rv/Jeep for the same thing. I love your videos and your family is precious. you guys are certainly living the dream! Keep the videos comin!
Thank you
