DIY Budget Rear Seat Delete | Ford Ranger

[@hemipirate]

Excellent! I'm glad I found this video. This is exactly what I want to do to the extra cab of my Colorado. That improv molle panel is genius!!

[@outlandishoverland]

Nice! I reused this similar set up for my Colorado

[@68FB01]

I should have mentioned though, it is a great video, thanks for that. BTW the bolts for me 2022 Ranger Tremor are as follows.. the main seatbelt mounts are 12 mm, the two lower seat mounts are 10mm and the upper bracket are 8mm

[@outlandishoverland]

Thanks!

[@Zack7228]

I really like the use of the magnets to hold your access cover in place. Absolutely brilliant! I will definitely be using that idea on my F350 rear seat delete as well as other projects.

thanks for posting this- it's exactly what i'm going to do to my new chevy colorado (when i decide to buy one - my 2020 only has 17K miles on it) btw, you did a nice job - it looks great!

[@outlandishoverland]

Thank you. I'll be making a revised version of this using slightly different materials for the ZR2 in a few months!

[@beavis4play]

@@outlandishoverland i'll look for it!

Nice job!!

[@outlandishoverland]

Thank you!

[@michaelcothran2329]

Nice build. Thanks for posting.

[@68FB01]

How did you get both base and back out of a 4x8 with those dimensions? I think you said in the vid you did.

[@outlandishoverland]

Honestly do not remember as this was years ago

[@gerhardhillmann1]

Well done! I want to do the same thing and figured someone already did it and there you were. What tonneau cover do you have. I have the same rack but you can't operate the top because it immediately hits the rack when you try to open it. (I bought the truck already tricked out.)

[@outlandishoverland]

Thank you! I forget the name of it, I have an old break down video of the truck that I name what tonneau cover I have. It's the Ranger overland build video I believe.

[@shanew.8784]

You need to find a better mounting system for tgat metal rack, in an accident you will be wearing it, zip ties won't cut it

[@outlandishoverland]

Well considering the length of the back of the truck it will most likely just slam into the back of the seats and have no way of coming forward, but I do agree it was just a temporary solution until I figure a more permanent solution to mount it to the board.

[@FTX03]

Why didn't you just use the conduit mounts and some rubber to hold the metal cage in?

[@outlandishoverland]

@@FTX03 Would be a lot of rubber as they are pretty big but definitely a possible solution

[@shaynesilvey5179]

Just subscribed. Do you by chance have the measurements/specs of the wood sizing, the legs to keep in level and the bolts you used to keep it secure? Thanks

[@outlandishoverland]

Base is about 52" x 35" the back is about 26" x 52". The legs are 8". Do not have the sizing on the bolts as I just took in the factory bolts with me to Ace Hardware and was able to find the right thread.

How wide is that plywood? I'm going to put Milwaukee packout sin mine in there 22in wide I'm just hoping they will fit

[@CartoonJimmyJames]

nice

[@outlandishoverland]

Thank you

[@boywonder5179]

Sweet!

[@dheck1522]

How wide is that plywood? I'm going to put Milwaukee packout in mine and they are 22in wide. I'm just hoping they will fit

[@outlandishoverland]

Its about 52 inches wide

[@dheck1522]

@@outlandishoverland I guess I meant how long is it? Like the distance between the back of the seat and the back of the cab

[@outlandishoverland]

@@dheck1522 Well that depends on your driving position, but about 30 inches.

[@whatdoidonow8870]

what did you use for that metal grating on the back panel

[@outlandishoverland]

That was a Facebook marketplace find. Was a retail store getting rid of it.

[@mlvncgndhn9583]

What’s the length? I’m planning to convert it into sleeping pod for emergency

[@outlandishoverland]

Base is about 52" x 35" the back is about 26" x 52".

[@paranormalwheelers]

I cant seeing that zip ty lasting.and holding much gear. Why not put a rubber bushing behind it, then screw it down.

[@outlandishoverland]

Hence why it was just a temporary solution and it has held great for the time being. I upgraded to a rubber bushing style like you mentioned.
