Default Rear seats in a NAS 90

Got the opportunity to acquire a really nice D90 at work.

Question is the rear seat. It's the standard forward facing two seat unit and I have three kids so, does anyone know if there is a three seat item similiar to the D110 rear seat that will fit or am I looking at side facing seats to get everyone in?

Any solution would be appreciated - its the only thing putting me off buying it!

Cheers!

you can buy the side facing seats like the 110 and D-90 SW have. I plan on swapping out my bench for 3 side facing jump seats. I only want three because it's a tight fit back their and I want to put a sub box or air tank in that extra space

The side seats used in the NAS 110 will bolt right into a 90, the holes in the capping rails are the same. Your Fwd facing seat is in demand, so stick it on ebay. Not that it will do you any good now, but I sold a set of 4 side facing 110 seats on ebay recently. Had over 250 hits. Listed them here too but not one inquiry.

Well, hold on, just slapping in a set of the inward facing seats is a tad misleading. There are a number of things you need to make sure you do aside from simply bolting them in. The biggest concern is the seat belt support that runs under the tub. The seats themselves are just bolted through the thin skin but the seatbelts are attached to cross-members and frame points, not just through the skin.

Some threads you should read regarding the safety and install of these seats:

They're a good company - I've used them before (I moved to Canada from the UK three years ago)

Bad news though - looks like the D90 might need a fair amount of work and I now have to choose (according to my wife ) between that and a new LR3. decisions decisions

yeah I know, I know

Which is why I'm going to go with the LR3. Sure, I know it's not perfect but I work at a LR dealership so at least the aftercare should be good! Plus I can get the winch, snorkel and skid plates at cost, so all is good

For now.......

LR3 a dime a dozen.

You could put two bench seats in the rear of the 90. Along the wheel wells like regular d-90's and 110's. OR, one mounted to the roll cage mid cabin facing backwards, another mounted facing forward at the rear of the tub. The rear tub would require finding suitable anchor the seatbelts.
