It folds flat? I mean... If you remove it you're going to have a shelf then a huge drop off.

This removal concept may prove beneficial for flattening the rear cargo area and using the lower drop off/void space for a custom sub/amp enclosure and still have ample space to use for typical cargo.

 

The SSV/police version doesn't have the 3rd row, never seen one in person so I don't know if the back is just bare or if there's a different cargo tray.

 

/\ My line of thinking is bolt in a sliding cargo shelf similar to the 4Runner's using the 3rd row seat location anchor points.

 

Here are some photos of the SSV Cargo Bins:

I'd seriously consider removing the third row and installing the floor bins and side armrest bins...

 

Even without the floor bins, you can see how easy it would be to install the custom sub and amp enclosure forward of where others have done this and still retain the existing hidden floor storage.

Ok, what are the steps to get this done? Love the look. I am installing new exhaust, new intake, whipple SC, and lowering my 2015 D RT… looking for ways to lower the curb weight… no need for 3rd row any more.

 

Ooooh the things I could do with all that SPACE!

If I didn't have kids and thus require the 3rd row sometimes, I'd definitely create something like that.

 

I removed mine when I swapped in the Jeep SRT seats didn't know they made bins I built a floor to house the stock sub and all the electrical stuff for my air suspension.

 

Which seats did you swap in? Fronts?

 

Fronts direct swap and second row which was a bitch since I had to swap the foam and covers from the jeep onto the Rango frames plus had to switch out the heated seat elements since the Rango has longer wires since the seats flip forward... It was a fun project

 

Do you have captains or bench? Because I'm pretty sure my bench only folds flat...

nice! fold them flat and pull the red loop and they pop forward

 

Lol. Been making people step on your seats for no reason? That sucks.

 

I've used the third row exactly twice in the almost 2 years I've owned it, it's usually folded flat anyway.

itd be more beneficial to remove the 2nd row and have ALL THE ROOM in the world !!!!!

Ooooo very nice. That's actually a bit deeper than I thought. Are those 4 holes the bolt down points? Are they threaded?

I wonder if you could rmeove the rear storage tub and build a box that spans that whole section but still sits flush...

 

I couldnt get the picture to turn out good but I built a false floor all the way to the back seat it slips out to get to my Air ride wiring and I moved the stock sub forward as well

 

My lease runs out this year, Sorry I didn't snap any pics yet been so damn busy and I actually forgot until I just saw this thread. The Trade I maybe interested in or at least purchasing your storage boxes if I keep my 17 R/T. I have to decide that or get a new one.
