Remove rear seat backs?

Pull down the center seat/armrest. Behind the back seats there is a lanyard on each seat back (more like a string really). Pull on the lanyard and the back seat will release.

Depends on your truck. You should fill out your signature so we can help you better. My Rebel seats have to be unbolted and removed. They don’t recline nor do they fold forward.
Patsy, remember what kind of sockets are needed? I see a huge torx forward and what feels like 18mm hex in the rear... 10mm hex fits snug on the torx but I do NOT want to round the little guys off considering how tight they are...

I never wound up removing the rear seats. I’d like to at some point to see what room I have back there. Since I have my truck back now I’m looking for mount options for my amp and sub. I can’t put them under the front seats because they are a bit too big with the connections unfortunately and I’d rather not take up my underwear storage in the rear so.....once I get things all tested I’ll probably remove the seats and see what’s what. Sorry for the long answer!

Isn’t that what the Rambins are for? They’d fit like 40 pairs or so.
Very true. You’re probably right!
Not even going to edit that. Too classic

My seats don’t fold down I removed them today to install my amps. I trimmed the latch that holds the back so now I can lay the backs down. I made a bracket to mount my amp rack to out of sheet metal angle. Amp rack is rough for now I will be replacing it with some 1/2” plastic I ordered. Other picture is the bass knob and bass amp remote switch I installed. I want to be able to complete turn off the bass that is why I put a switch

You talking about the "hook" on the seat that latches onto the rear firewall?
In the first photo, what are those three loops sticking up behind the rear seats used for? I was hoping to find a way to fold the rear seat backs down and thought that they might be attached to some sort of unlatching mechanism.

The loops are not to fold seats. Not all seats fold. mine don’t.

Where did you ground the amps back there? I dont have the etorque but i have a bare bolt sticking up in the middle of that bubble tunnel of carpet where the etorque leads come out of yours. I was thinking this must be the factory ground for the etorque? Or is there a better ground under there somewhere?

You need a 18mm socket and a E12 e-torx socket to remove the rear seats. You can probably get away with a 19mm as thats what I had to use but it was kinda loose. Also recommend an air ratchet or battery powered ratchet because they are a pain to get out with hand tools. Once you remove the 4 bolts(2 etorx up front and 2 18mm in the rear the seat just lifts up and you can pull it out.
I used that bare bolt to ground my amp, works fine for me.
