Jeep Wrangler 3rd Row Install & Mods / Family of 6's RV Tow Vehicle

We have had a lot of questions on how will a family of 6 fit into a 5 passenger seat Jeep Wrangler?? Well, we installed a 3rd row in the rear and this video shows how we did it and how it is safe and secure!! This is not our daily driver, however we will utilize it when we are going on offroad adventures!

I tip my hat to you and I love your videos and I’m planning on RVing real soon....May GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY OUT ON YOUR TRAVELS

[@karenfishingnaturallife6376]

The seat come with hardware ?

[@clownofdiscordgaming9527]

As a father of 4 I crossed Jeep off my list of possible vehicles but now maybe I can convince my wife to get one now.

[@dustinserbin3054]

With a death trap seat?

[@clownofdiscordgaming9527]

Dustin Serbin apparently you didn’t watch the video. He put a lot of thought into the safety aspect of the set up. Looks pretty safe to me.

[@dustinserbin3054]

@@clownofdiscordgaming9527 look online about how energy is transferred in an accident and why the 3 point should and lap is the standard in safety, and why racing harnesses snap necks unless there is a HANS device. I'm sure a bungee cord can hold someone on a roof, but that doesn't sound good either.

[@bennybobanger7841]

Wranglers have terrible crash ratings as it is compared to other SUVS, why would you put your children in something that is even more unsafe?

[@chrisderouchey1491]

@@bennybobanger7841 The seatbelts and roll bars seem safe but I would worry about the young kids necks being jarred and jostled during off roading. Their necks are just not as strong as a teen or adult. Hopefully they'll go on very very easy roads.

[@Lesh004]

That is cool. I’m honestly surprised Jeep hasn’t come out with a 3rd row style to attract larger families.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you!! Maybe they will one day!

[@chrisludwig9783]

they were talking about bringing the commander back 3 rows

[@deereman8237]

Chris Ludwig We used to have a 06’ Commander with a 4.7L V8 before I got a 2013 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited 10th Anniversary Edition. Was a great vehicle, and was great for towing stuff with as well! Ended up buying a 08’ Dodge Ram 1500 to tow with after realizing the Wrangler just can’t tow enough...

[@chrisludwig9783]

Deereman lol we had same year with the hemi. it was a great truck. we have 4 kids haha we bought a ram too. we pull just a camper with it

[@ttime411bmw]

It’s not practical, the Jeep is already cramped inside, you’d only be able to fit small adults or kids if you add a 3rd row, unless you have the top off all the time

[@beattyfamilylife9833]

As a fellow jeep owner and huge fan of mopar, I wish jeep never stopped making the Commander. I guess the grand Cherokee is going to have a 3rd row model, but they're so small. And when kids get older/taller, the Commander is the perfect jeep for a family and for trail driving. PLEASE JEEP, BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL 3RD ROW, THE COMMANDER

[@johnwallace6701]

Or a stretched older Grand Wagoneer!

[@lynnemac1402]

I love your vlogs and always get excited to see the next instalment.You have done an amazing job, the three rows look like they were always there and you researched so well. Being a parent I completely understand the need to ensure your children are as safe as possible, lovely children so polite. xx

[@mdb3601]

You've put a lot of thought into it. For what it's worth, perhaps trim and round the zip ties so they don't rub. Also, I've rolled a jeep going down the highway rolling one and a half times. I'm lucky to be alive. Give your kids something to hang on to so their hands and arms don't flop around in case of a rollover. That way they don't grab the bar overhead while rolling. Lastly, I would get everything on the bar welded. Bolts with shear off with force. After my rollover, the entire roll bar was bent.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Yikes... ok thanks for the suggestions.

[@sumiek23]

I have always wanted a jeep but always checked it off my list because of the lack of the 3rd row seating. Now, it’s back on my list! Thank you so much for making this video! It’s so informative!

[@JRam-bg2ii]

You did a good job. Your kids safety comes first. Kudos to you and everyone that helped you on your project. BTW, nice Jeep.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you 😊

Thank you so much

[@markgosser9578]

Great job! I’ve been a Jeep Wrangler fan and owner for 45 years and did not know this was a option. I think you did great with the custom floor bracket and the install. Now I have a 17 Rubicon but will be trading for a Gladiator so no since for a 3 row install. Love your channel, positivity, smiles and your endeavors. Keep up the great work.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you!! The Gladiators look really cool!! I would love to see them do a 2 door Gladiator!

[@rhomoniajames6777]

[@lamontmcneil9733]

Love it great job thank you for sharing I’m thinking about getting my son a jeep and you made me aware of so many things I didn’t know.

[@blainerohlfs]

Random internet person’s opinion. 1. I think there’s a reason that most of the racing harnesses clip to a bar behind the seat perpendicular to your back, I believe it keeps it straighter in a wreck. 2. With your little ones in the 4 point harness watch out for submarining. Very dangerous, you can avoid this with a 5 point harness or ASM 4 points. In some cases 4 point harnesses are less safe than factory 3 points. That being said, very cool!! The fiancé and I are looking at a Jeep but want a big family so this is just what we needed to see! Have fun and stay safe

[@abnpthfdr2934]

Highlight of the video: Seatbelts and 3rd Row Bar. Extremely impressed with those. Thumbs up!!!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you

[@ScottsGEN-XAdventures]

Great job designing your setup. Quality construction. And it will grow with your kids.

[@adamclancy8706]

I keep coming back to your video as a template for my 3rd row installation. Thank you for showcasing!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Glad it helped!! One thing I would do differently is move the seat more to the right or up an inch or two so that when the seat lays flat I can shut the tailgate. Other than that I love it!

[@streetgliderichie9724]

Nice job! I did the same thing in the bed of our Toyota Tundra. Custom frame, racing seats and four-point harnesses for the kids. We also have a cap on the back of the truck (as required by New York State law). I just got a small plug-in cooler that fits between the seats for their refreshments! As for your jack, you could get a High-Lift jack that you can bolt to your hood, fender or bumpers. As someone else mention, you don’t want any projectiles within the Jeep if you have an accident. Be safe... we look forward to your new Jeep adventures!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

That sounds awesome!! Thank you and safe travels to y’all as well!!

[@TheCraigjames95]

Love the idea. With this makes me really want a jeep now

I wrote an article about it and new people had been installing a third seat, but I had not seen it done yet. This is great. I really like what you have done. Clearly your kids will remember your adventures and the Jeep! I have a Grand Wagoneer because my Grandfather had one and we used to take vacations in it. I'm looking now for another Wrangler...

My only things I wasn't sold on was that I felt like a submarine belt should have been present, and there should be a bar welded across the frame at the back to attach the belts to. I'd also have that welder attach the roll bar permanently. I love the idea of a third row in a wrangler. I just found your page so you might have done a few of these, so I'm going to check your stuff out! Keep Jeeping!

[@cbs53516]

Move the third-row seat 1in forward, cut the side mounts, and re-weld them back. cut the front mount 1 in and re-drill the hole. this will give you more storing space when you riding with less than 5 people. simple and easy to re-do. also store the jack below the third seat for easier access. I Have a lifted jeep that requires a bigger jack than the factory jack. I got rid of the factory jack and bought a heavy 5 ton jack to lift the jeep. Fits perfect under the back seats. P.S.great video

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you!! I might do that! I am also planning on getting a high lift jack.
