mad_max Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Any1 ever saw a couch in a van thats legal? Possible to get a cert for 1 or a way cops cant do anything about it? I was thinking if bolting down with belts wasnt legal is bolt it to the bottom of stick seat so its go the legit brackets Is is possible?

KKtrips Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Maybe if it had a steel frame and there were seatbelts correctly mounted it could be made legal with an LVV but if its a wood frame I would say not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_max Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yea maybe just mash them together. make standard seat bigger, put back rests off couch on it and on the bottom. Has some cushions off couch on but then theres no room to sit and it too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 bench seat is a couch no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 would be cheaper to get stock bench seat reupholstered like a couch wouldnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana_Jones Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 What about the weight, a couch wouldn't be light? As Fliboi said, if it's got a bench stock, tidy that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R100 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Cops can still ping you for it even if you had a cert for it. You would just need to battle it out in court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 TBH after having a couch and a luxo van benchseat in mine, the van bench wins for comfy factor. and no troubles with the law also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_max Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Yea, Might just have to get some of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 that lush bench seat looks like the go, if you want it to look more like a couch then just run some fabric from the seats to the floor and attach with velcro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighLUX Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 yeah bench seat made to look like couch is a sweet idea, used to have something similar in my old van with a removable sub for stashing liquor and such inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
