    Newbie po. Can the 3rd row seats of the Innova j be rearranged that instead of facing the front would now face the sides?

    i dont think so,its practically impossible, but 3rd row seats can be removed though. and even if the seats can be moved to face each other, only small kids or midgets would be able to sit in it without banging their knees against people sitting across them.

    That would have been possible if the 10 seater rule was still in effect. Toyota would have fabricated it. But it would be a good idea as this will lure shuttle and transport companies... i think.

    OT: it would be a challenge if they did this on the Avanza...

    salamat po. But I thought the Innova j is wider than the Adventure.

    With some ingenuity, it could be done. But, you have to replace the seats with the ones similar to FX. Also, you need to put a door opening device so the rear door could be opened from the inside. Also you would need a rear step board so the rear passengers could comfortably mount and dismount.

    If I were you, I won't do it.

    Maraming hassles pala. The idea of converting the 3rd row seats is feasible but impractical due to complexities and and obviously costs.

    Or swap your car to Crosswind XT/XUV.

    You can fabricate adapter plates for Crosswind third row side-facing seats to mount to the brackets for the Innova seats. From what I recall, the brackets for the Innova are very heavy duty... and it won't cost too much. You just have to find a shop that understands what you want to do. Only problem is the curved sides of the Innova may make mounting the back-rests problematic.

    In my opinion, the Avanza third row doesn't need conversion... it's much roomier than the Innova third row, as it is.

    I think youll be able to seat only 2 pass if the seats are made facing each other. Innova/Avanza are not that long as compared to Revo/Tamaraws.

    What I dont buy is the idea that side facing seat causes "hilo" on long travels. Of course you have to stop every 2 hrs, and nobody is stopping your pass to exchange seats. Eh kung sa passenger jeep nga nadadala sa Bagiuo. Palusot lang ata ito para sa mga manufacturers to shorten their vehicles and save money on the process.
