Tonight I removed the second row seats.
I preferred removing the second row for more space than the third row. I rarely haul people and the third row section is already nice and flat folded down. Head room is a little tight for people who do jump back ther but they will have massive leg room.
Removed bolts, unplugged seat heat and airbags, removed seats out the back, stuck 2.2 ohm resistors directly into the vehicle side airbag plug, put a piece of electrical tape over the plug to keep the diode from backing out and tucked them under the carpet. Started her up. No airbag light
To level out the area I made a quick platform out of 2’x4’ plywood and a few sections of 2x6. Putting 2x6 pieces into a T makes it almost level with the lower sections preventing the playform from gouging the back of the front seats. Also gives you a little storage under the platform in the footwells.
Will do something more permanent if I like the set up. Dogs are happy with the extra space.
