Subject: Any car customizer/designer types on here?
Here is my situation/dilemma. I currently own an old limo that me and a few friends use for tailgating. The car is old and ready to be put out to pasture. I am starting to look at the next vehicle and what I/we want to do. The idea of a stretched SUV is where we have been leaning, but I have started thinking about just a normal sized Suburban. The interior dimensions are 102" x 49" for the cargo area, rear of the front seat.

I would envision removing all of the rear seats and installing seats that face each other or possibly a J seat to give more seating. I would think with 8.5 feet a J seat would be possible.

I am trying to figure out the feasibility of all this. I don't even know a ballpark figure, would a project like this cost $1000, $5000, $10,000? I don't want to throw tons of bad money into this, but would be willing to go a few large.

That all depends upon how much you want to spend.  Are you doing custom seats, with special leather seats, or are you going to just throw in bucket seats from a suburban and just put them in around the outside of it and call it "J" seating.  Not a lot of room in a suburban from my experience in taking family across Iowa for a funeral. 

 

You could get to $10,000.00 very quickly in my opinion.  And that all depends upon if you are doing any or all of the work.
