i like the whole 'entertainment center' between the back and front seats, and the room it gives... but could be the nightmares of my first van haunting me about the 'full-time bed next to a bench seat' that keeps me from doing it again... | | | Re: 87 Dodge "Southeast of Disorder" | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 4,460 pooh-bah | OP pooh-bah Joined: May 2006 Posts: 4,460 | i believe im going to skip putting an entertainment center betweeen the seats because it will screw up the swivel motion of the front seats. Im thinking of mounting the TV to the rear most side door so the rear passenger can see it as well as laying in the bed. Then the rood can be opened and it can be viewed outside the van. gimme a minute and ill post up pics of todays progress.

And heres the pics of what i did inside it today. i plan to cover that seat to make it not so ugly and do something about the open hole under the bed. That will more than likely end up speakers or something. Boot i was waiting to hear from you on getting a Dodge LOL!!

That way I could remove it when needed or even to use outside while camping ect. Looks good though keep up with the updates. Oh, and welcome to the wonderful world of Dodges.

In a frt or Rearend impact, they would also be subjected to Sideways thrusts, not good for sure. My grandson was in a crash last summer, where all occupants we're properly seatbelted, and there we're still Substantial injuries. I would only use a Forward facing setup, as the Little People are TOO Precious. I'm going to make a removable setup for my van, just for Little people.
