    I think about this nearly every day.

    No need to "have a use for it"! Hell, I don't! It was funny to roll that bad biznitch through the nursery in G'town yesterday, picking up some trees and plants. My wife was laughing at the faces on all the folks driving their measly little mpg-mobiles...

    Weekend/build update... so this weekend I built a custom enclosure for two subs to fit behind my rear seat, worked on it all weekend, got it built, sealed and such then I put it in the truck.... fit like a glove except the darn seat wouldn't fold back up... ugh... well guess it's back to the drawing board. so glad I enjoy making things or I'd have been super pissed off.

    Seen people remove the plastics off the seat back to help with clearance.

    Not the cleanest route but it is an option.

    Yeah, seen the seat back removal done before, not an option here as it was the cushion itself hitting when the seatback was half raised. This would have been total rear seat removal or rebuild box. Time to get creative.

    can't grab a pic right now but it's in the overhead console second switch from the driver side. Trac control is the first switch
