Donno how far I'll take it... If anyone is interest in the topic I'll post images here; suggestions/add-ons welcome(images/links/specifics; may not reply); Won't be taking passengers(seats have rest/bed/dog uses)... More posts should follow, just starting; will be securing things, etc... Anyone know how to disable all airbags, DM. ).
Interesting, thanks for sharing! I’d remove the “passenger” headrest while driving for better visibility. I do this in the rear seats of my unmodified V for everyday use.
I was thinking this, but as I hope last photo shows I don't really think it blocks anything noteworthy(Still see full side view mirror etc) from at least my eye level. The headrest does however brush the ceiling felt/visor depending on slide position and seat tilt.. If I can find a scrap car, I think I'd like to try reforming a fpassenger headrest(Shorter, and neck support to simulate reclined recliner, only for use when stationary). I've also been thinking about GPS/phone mounts lately.. I wonder if replacing the visor requires anything extensive(wired for power, and wouldn't want to remove ceiling felt/otherwise); getting an old visor and installing a phone mount there tapping into vanity mirror power, could be interesting.. I was noticing (for someone with my height anyway) a ceiling mounted(or built into visor with angle adjustment) horizontal phone could work without obstructing any view percentage. I have been trying to keep the rear view mirror unobstructed, but some fridge/freezer units I have are 'tempting', and not strictly necessary for that mirror I guess... I already have a Dometic drawer fridge that is a bit awkward/large, seen in one of the pictures(not installed yet); Seems like one of those 12v cooler shaped compressor fridge/freezer combos might fit a but better; thinking access to spare tire when necessary... Other questions I'm pondering.. With traction battery air intake 'good', does the exhaust matter, can I remove all that foam and filler above the spare; I think it directs the airflow maybe down past the 12V battery, but cooling there won't be necessary with LifePO4 replacement hmmm..
Household hurricane clips I plan to use to secure the 'floor' from going forward, I'd like to use hinges for cleaning but that would cost a bit more and odd size/shape. Reversed seat will be unoccupied when underway( except for ~55lb dog), I think 2 of the 4 bolts should be sufficient(that's not a vehicle ender).
You should probably remove the passenger side seat all together. You have no seat belt for it and the leg room is questionable at best. Crammed up against the dash board takes away the reclining feature too. Probably better to use that space for a fridge, power pack, and storage. Move it behind the driver's seat, where you can partially utilize the recline feature. Placing the heavy power pack batteries on the passenger side will balance out the car a bit - better driving dynamics. I'm a tallish guy so the extra sleeping head room would be welcome.
