3rd row seating for '02 Explorer?

Anyone know if 3rd seats are available for an '02 Explorer? If so, is that something I would need a mechanic or dealership to install, or is that something you can do at home? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It isn't just the 3rd seat that's involved; I'm not sure the rear floor pan is the same on models without 'em. Also, the 2nd row (40-20-40) has outer seats that "tumble" forward to allow access to the back, and the shoulder harness/retractor mechanisms are in the rear pillars. If you could find a decent donor vehicle in the right color, you'd be looking at serious $$$ for parts, and that's assuming your rear floor pan will accept them and you can do the install without farming out the labor.
