You’re probably right it would be lighter without one of the cross pieces. I tend to over build things some times.

I won’t be adding a gas strut to this setup. Swing out carriers don’t usually have them. It’s an interesting idea though. It swings open so easily because of the bearings.

That’s a nice setup you have!

Thank you. You should pick yourself up a MIG welder and start learning. Could build all sorts of stuff for your truck.

I went over that in the video but I used 2x3x.120 tubing. It’s definitely heavy

Thanks man. Appreciate the support!

Just thought I would share my swing away tire carrier build.

More details on the swing out tire carrier.

I should weigh the seat and fridge and compare that would be interesting!

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.

19.5” x 38.5”

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.

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

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?

Seat delete video. Possibly the simplest way to make one.

Tested this diesel heater from Vevor. Works great in the shop and can’t wait to try it with the roof top tent.

This is what it looks like without the fridge

I only did the 40% because I still need to have two passengers in the back on some trips.

Worked on a 40% seat delete. Got it done for under $50. Very simple but very functional. More details coming later.

Progress has been slow. Tire is on now though. I still need to re locate the backup cam, add the 3rd brake light, and license plate light.
