Easiest Seat Delete Possible w/ Video

Just wanted to share my take on the K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple stupid) seat delete. I hadn’t seen any one build theirs quite this simple. Full info in the video. Who else did a simple seat delete?

TJ nice work and keeping it real. For what some of the commercial products available is quite a few tanks of fuel. You might be saving some weight having fridge there vs seat weight too.

Good video but I wish you had shown how it’s mounted and what size hardware you used.

my simple diy seat delete which also fits with rear seat in

and the reason for rear seat delete

Sorry about that. Bolts are (2) M12-1.75 x 60 and (2) M12-1.75 x 90. They go in the same spots the seat is bolted to. Thought I mentioned that in the video

You did but I’ve never taken the seat out so I haven’t paid attention to the mounts. My bad. I keep my fridge on the seat but it would be nice if it was lower and level.

That’s cool. Pain in the butt removing the seat or just a few bolts? I’ve been eyeing doing something similar

Removing the seat is pretty easy actually. The factory bolts are some sort or large hex head but I found that a 6 point 11 mm socket worked perfect for taking them out.

Do you happen to have the dimensions of the build, or, did I miss them in the video?

I think I am going to do a 60% delete and move my fridge slide there

19.5” x 38.5”

Looks good. What’s the total clear area you get? Is it the 38.5x19.5” or a little more? What fridge do you have? … looking at fridges now but want to maximize/balance fridge space with car seat and kid crap.

Go Niners!

Crazy that you had to remove your rear seats just to install a security system!

Like it!

I've been wanting to trial run a 40% delete to build some kind of easy swing-down stairs/ramp for my pup but didn't want to get too involved (time-wise or financially) in a build I may not end up liking.. so this is inspiring to KISS and just go for it!
Thanks!

The usable area that you get is a bit more than that. I think it’s more like 40” x 20.5” depending on seat position.

The fridge is an Iceco JP50. I have a review video of the fridge on the channel if you’re interested.
