rear seat mod

[no12nv]

not sure were in this forum i read it/saw it. but for those who never heard of this... its awesome. as we know the rear seat  back doesnt fold down/just the base up. by removing the rear seat full bench or the60/40 it works the same. but once removed you will seethe 2 back hooks on bench/3 on 60/40 that lock back rest to cab. cut 2.5 inches off the tabs. no more than 2.5 in. but 2.5 seems to be the magic #. after the cut. give the tabs a small tweek out.. an reinstall. now when u fold up ur  back will unlock n fold down or lock the base up w the back etc. it allows you to access behind the seat. i did my amp rack there an theres room to put whatever u like. hold seat back to wall an let base go.. full lock. love it..

I have this and love it. My old truck i sold to buddy and the day he saw it he said I have to have it.

I did it for the area for my amps and audio equipment. But I would still do it just to store stuff back there. Nice to put a rifle there if you worry about smash and grab criminals. 

Only tip I have is cover the seat back with old rag so sparks or saw doesn't hit the thin black cloth and RIP it. There is zero structural issues with this mod. 

I have also seen people add rear seat spacers to get.more room under the seat for boxes.

will this work on a 2012 extended cab?

I lifted my rear seat 2" to fit my sub box and now it folds too. It is handy especially for amps back there.

Did you go LMI or did you make your own brackets? Im looking at doing this in preparation to make my own sub box because im tired of taking it in and out when people ride with me. But I just feel the LMI price for my '18 Sierra crewcab is just too much..
