This is a "Cheesy, But Functional" mod. 

I'm not "married" to this, and would love to see what you all have done to accomplish something similar. :cheers:

 

I normally run with at least one dog in the truck, and they can get pretty muddy when we go hunting.  Wanted a padded "flat floor" area that contains their "mess".  This is what I've come up with, using the cushion from my old Dodge.  I'll add one of those dog seat covers that attach to the front and rear seat head rests. 

Need to modify the cushion/cover, so that it can be removed 60/40 like the seats fold, in case there is a third passenger riding in the truck.

 

Went to Wally-Mart with a tape measure after measuring the floor space with the driver & passenger seat set for fairly tall people.  Spent about $34.  The center cut out in the cushion is for an electric cooler that keeps drinks/sandwiches/snacks cool for longer trips.

The blankets folded at the rear of the underseat bin, levels out that angle, so the cushion lays flat.

There is enough room between the bins and the under seat storage to keep quick-grab stuff, like leashes, water, fire extinguisher, etc. 

The bins fit pretty tight side to side, so I'll need to lay a towel over the ends of the outer bins to keep from scratching up the doors.

(last picture is how it fit in the Dodge with the cooler in place).

Deployed the Mess Containment System (aka Dog Seat Cover). 

Vailge Dog Car Seat Cover

Picked this up from Amazon.  It was the largest I could find.  What I like about this is the ends zip up which will help protect the door panels, and it covers the seat with them folded, or down.  So if there is a person sitting in the back, I'll just fold it to cover the seat occupied by the dog.

Haven't put the dog in yet, but it seems pretty comfortable. Also came with a strap that clips into the seat belt for use with a dog harness.

Just a quick update.  I've had a couple of dogs riding back there together now (GSP & Visla).  They comfortable with room to lie down, or wander from side to side.  Overall it's working great.  Haven't put much in the storage bins yet.  But this hunting season those bins will be loaded up. 🙂

Nice work! My truck didn't come with a storage tray so I was going to fab something similar to my Rams storage box, with the folding flat panels and feet.

That will be really nice!  The factory box is angled to match the seat bottom, which makes it difficult to get things "flat".  

Will look forward to see how your setup comes out. :cheers:

Think I have the same cover, maybe a different name. Just a comment that it is so much nicer than just the oem  upholstery. The dog hair doesn't embed itself into the material, or otherwise stick to it, like it does with the oem material.

I've been pretty happy with the seat cover.  Mud, sand, hair, drool, etc. all stay in that cover.  Normally I just pull it out and shake it off.  Door panels, and cushion stay much cleaner than without it.

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.
