Thread: 8/9 seater defender 110

Must be OK due to the number of troopcarriers Toyota sell.

My 110 did have the seats in the cargo area, but the previous owner removed them and the middle front seat and got a mod plate to reduce the seating capacity back to 5

A lot of worksite's don't allow sideways seating anymore I don't think the army do it anymore either. TBH 11 average Aussies in an 11 seater troop carried will see the vehicle overloaded an incredibly tight squeeze and the driver wasn't planning on changing gear or anything was he? The 11 seater configuration is also an optional extra the povo pack troopy comes with a 3 seater configuration and A/C is an optional extra as well.

Sorry not really helpful but I'd say side seating days are numbered legally, have only ever seen the setup in older 110's and those were the two door wagon's which haven't been sold here for some time.

Hi All

Easo how are you mate there is a five door v8 county with side seats in the back in the noonamah area for sale. No the irony is not lost on me either mate pm me if you want to know more mate

Regards Mark

I have a 95 defender with rear seats installed and complianced. 9 seater. Also have a centre front seat that would take it to 10 seats.

It is easy to modify and get complianced in Queensland, provided you have the seats.

Gday Easo,

Paul,
where did you get the 'flip up' floor deck' in the back of your 110 ??

Looks the 'deal' to me.....
I've currently got 3x2 pine and 6x1 boards across mine and its a PITA as it can't be moved for putting big stuff in the back (shoulda bought a 130 but there ya go.......... )
