horse-shoe limo seating in excursion idea

so in an effort to customize a 01 excursion 2wd, my friend is talking about bigger tires and a lift....I say thats stupid because its 2 wheel drive and we dont live in the dunes, and there are no malls around here to go mall crawling


I suggested limo style seating


Using the two bench seats it has, the smaller one in the back, and getting a junkyard third middle bench seat and making a u shape like pictured

it would be great if the front captains chairs could swivel like in the 70's ford vans

has anyone ever seen something like this? i would just google it but dont know what to google...feed back wanted, we are not mechanics and dont want to get in over are heads, but we are also both able bodied and brained

I saw a limo excursion the other day for sale for 15k. Not to take the lazy way out... but I'd probably take hte lazy way out. Plus then it gives me an excuse to get a bigger automobile.

it would not work due to obstructing the doors. unless you want to loose most of your rear cargo space... you could do swivel 2nd row seating if you have the bucket seats...
In addition if you are moving or relocating seats then you have safety issues to address such as getting it properly anchored so seats don't break loose in an accident. as you mentioned not being mechanics I think you would be in a bit over your head...
