    About a month after I bought my truck over two years ago I removed mine. Way more room to see in back window. And put them in cubbyhole behind seat incase passengers want them. I just don't tell them there there.

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    I think he means folding down the seat.

    I did it on day 1 ..... GENTLY pull seat back away. Head restraints are each held by two bolts .... 10 minutes job.

    This is an Access Cab ..... not a great photo but you can get the idea.

    Thanks for the info... I notice you still have the seat bottoms on under your bench thing, those are also a 2 bolt removal if you want to take them off. :)

    Clazzio seat covers,

    Not too sure ..... just built the "bench" (which lifts out very easy) over them.

    I removed the rear headrests during the first week of ownership. I also removed the rear center console but the space looked unfinished without the console, so I re-installed it. The console takes up alot of space and I will remove it again when I figure out how I want to finish off the area.

    Shit, this was the first thing I did as soon as I took delivery. Rear visibility in these things is atrocious with the headrests in, merely acceptable with them out.

    I never even see mine unless I'm trying to look into side view territory. Think ya might be doing it wrong.

    I thought about removing them for the view.. but really didn't notice them. My back seat is only used for one kid .. too short to hit It I believe.

    I pulled the middle one out on day one but the two outside ones protect my kids' noggins. Even with the middle one out I have much more rear visibility.
