Tools required:channel locks a utility knife, and an 8mm socket. The channel locks are for the torx screws that mount the seat back to the hinge, these are used due to the lack of room to fit any other tools back there.

1) Remove torx screw (using channel locks) holding seat back on either side of seat. (total of 4 on split bench)

2) Pull up on seat back to disengage from hook and pull seat back out.
3) Using 8mm socket, remove catches on the back of the cab.
4) With utility knife, cut sound deadener to make room for upside down catches.
5) Reinstall the catches upside down

6) Reinstall seat backs. (lining up these mounts can be a bit of a PITA but its not too bad) Take your time and line up the bolt right.

Mostly done by forumpete, but with touch up help and added photo's by OEFootball_70

 

maybe pics during the day would help... what did this achieve?

 

yeah I decided that I need to take new pictures. I am gonna run outside and do it right now. It allows for you to keep an amp back there. Or really whatever you want.

 

does this raise the seat up alittle bit??

 

+1 yeah sorry bro but I couldn't make some of the pics out. They were kinda dark, and what did you do this for? I mean what does your seat do now? sorry...

 

I like not being able to get to the amps....makes em WAY harder to steal.

 

Add me to that list. I am sure it is something worthwhile but I can't tell from the pics what exactly we are supposed to be looking at.

 

Its for making the back of the seat fold down. Look at the last pic you can see its folded down...

 

x2 on this one.

 

Well I just did the mod....Do yall's back seat come off of the wall if you lift the bottom up a few times? I just put in a new sub box, its about 1" above the rests for the bottom of the seat, that might be doing it. The mount for the old torx screw kind of sticks out?

One question....My box doesn't quite fit too well, the seat pushes it down and it wobbles....any ideas?
