Changed up the extended cab
I've got an extended cab, but it's pretty useless with the rear seat for my uses.
Never carry any passengers, just me and the missus. We use a different car when we go to visit my daughter.
But I've got dogs, three of 'em. The short rear seat can barely fit two of them let alone 3.
On our last trip, I decided to take the seat out. The floor is not flat (as everyone knows) so it's nearly useless for dogs.
I built a nice flat platform for the pups which also afforded me some storage underneath. Once it was in, I needed a hatch to get to the jack and I threw another one on the other side for storage access. There's actually a surprising amount of room under it. It's also great for hiding stuff I leave in the truck from sight. Out of sight out of mind as they say......at least for smash and grab thieves that is......
It worked so well, I decided to leave it in. But I couldn't have a plywood platform in the back, that's just a bit too hillbilly (no offense intended to anyone) for me.
So today, I finished it off with a bit of carpeting:
I've got a nice foam mat (like the anti vibration kind you stand on) cut to shape to throw on it just to keep it a bit cleaner when the dogs are in there.
It looks a little dark and the camera messed up the color a bit. I chose the darker grey as that's close to darker two tone color leather that the interior is getting.
I think it turned out pretty good over all.
