Are you going traditional or something more radical.
I have only seen 101's once, and there was two :o, I was smitten

this truck needs be a daily driver so am not a traditionalist at heart. looking for something useable, tough and fun...the plan is to fit out the back with as many seats as possible to take my tribe down the beach surfing....

Welcome to the world of 101's.. It'll have to be a diesel if you want/plan to use it daily. :)

Being a 16" rim, anything big enough is usually costly... A few of us run Michelin XZL's (255/100 R16's).. Costly and rare as chooks teeth.. (Needed to keep my projectile on the road!). Several run widened 16" rims with large mud biased tyres.. Some run the original bar grips.. (Far from ideal).. Its all according to how you want it to look.. When the XZL's wear out (if I still have the 101), I will be thinking along the lines of a rim change up to 19.5" truck rims and bespoke centers, similar to the OKA's. Heres a pic of roughly what I was thinking..

What are the engineering certification implications of that exercise

I don't expect the seating exercise to be much different to the rear seating in my Perentie. My Perentie is complied for 10 people. All that was required was appropriate ADR lap belts fitted.

There is a fellow in America who is investigating making some reprodiction rear seats for a 101.
The other alternative, have you seen the bus body on mine? I'm wanting to replace it with a standard tub.

Hey Mick. That's a good set up. I assume it was a tour vehicle maybe? Which state are you located? Is the seating compliance do at all? Are you interested in a tray swap? Can I see some more photos of the set out please. Are they six seats in the back?
