You can have rear air and ONE storage bin on the right side. Seats are easily removed. You will just need to source a bin. Check in U-pull yards if there are any close to you.

x1 - correct. You can have rear seats (third row) but the drivers side intrudes into the centre of the load space (so I took mine out when new - sorry Dusty - it was beige) If you want storage on the drivers side you'll have to tear out the rear A/C unit. For my purposes the rear A/C is more useful than storage.

Thanks to all for the direction. Now I just need to get the buggy here and get to work.

cosmiccharlie -- did you custom build the floor storage? I like it.

Hi cosmiccharlie, where did you source/buy your passenger side rear storage box? I'm considering taking out the remaining third row seat which has never been used in 11 years and ideally would prefer a good fitting storage box there.

Yes, the drawers are built by me. I would change a few things if I were to do it again, but they turned out pretty good.

I bought it from one of the dismantler vendors here, don't remember who

I have some pics of it in progress. Here is one without the top or drawer fronts so you can see you it was constructed. Pretty simple box and two drawers.



And another with the top showing the opening to the long storage space near the seat. If I were to do it over again I wouldn't have this space, I would instead make the drawers the full depth of the box.

That really is a nice setup. And I think a little "hidden" storage might be a good idea.

I am looking for beige jump seats, but my trim doesn't have rear air or radio. Would it still work?
