Since my dogs ride in the back way more often than any people do I decided to remove the rear seats and start building a “Load-Flat” floor with integrated storage. Started today with cardboard mock-ups and got the first two pieces cut. 3cfe1136162b4f790eb8d86215890f5e.jpgc7e98debd9746dd306313ec8e2a620ce.jpg

I need to find some brackets that will allow me to mount the side walls to the seat studs. Then I can start the from cross member and internal supports. The plan is to have 3 hatches on the top, one the driver and passenger sides and one that runs along the back for access to the jack. I want to finish everything in a marine grade carpet, including a piece that will hang on the rear bulkhead where the seat used to.

 

If anyone has seen anything like this please let me know. I’ve done a lot of searching but haven’t seen anything so I’m shooting from the hip.

I havent seen anything like it. But I know several people who would actually use that setup. Orielly Auto has some nice black carpet that matches pretty good for like $10 a roll. You might look into that. I use it for sub boxes all the time. Way nicer than the standard sub box carpet

So finding brackets with a 1/2 inch hole for the seat studs is proving difficult. None of the major hardware stores in my area have anything that will work. I even tried out west marine and local cabinet shops. I may need to rethink my mounting plan.

Thanks. Here is a pic with two of the lids open. Everything fits really snugly so I'm not going to install latches unless it gets loose over time. Nylon loops will be the handles for now.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
