Rear Seats

[GadgetMason]

How do you fold the rear seats down to access the space behind them?

They do fold down. From the rear center console, reach behind the left seat and behind the seat cloth, up near the headrestn there is a pull string to release the catch. You have to fish around for it.

This only works if you have the reclining rear seats.

Didn't know that! I do have reclining seats.

Is there any cabling or anything I should worry about not drilling into in the area immediately under the rear driver’s side seat? I want to mount a VHF/UHF radio under there but I am concerned about drilling through the carpet and hitting something important.

I will going with On Board Air by converting a Sanden AC compressor and
mounting it to my EcoDiesel Engine. Then moving my Nathan Airchime
K5LA Train Horns over from my '08 Big Horn. There will also be Quick
Connect tool Ports in the Bed and Engine Compartments. Next time I get
it on the Lift, I will get the Measurements for the Air Tanks and Horn Placement.

I would check with Ram on installing a radio that powerful without the proper shielding or installed by a pro. There are a lot of electronic modules, 26 I think, that would be affected by the radio when transmitting. Just a thought so you don't fry anything or void your warranty.

Thank you all! I will be removing the seats soon and cutting off a bit of the metal piece to allow this to work. Since I have Etorque with a factory sub, hopefully I have the room to install a compressor.

if you have the two in floor storage compartments you could consider one of those locations.

There’s some good YouTube videos on how to modify them to fold down if you are relatively handy.

There is an inboard cord on both back seats near the top to lower the seats...pull toward the middle and the seat will pop loose

That’s only if you have reclining rear seats. All others, have to remove the bolts abs do the mod
