Awesome. I'd do a hundred percent delete and floor. I have big dogs and the back seat on them was my big deterrent to getting one... Now that they are practically giving 23's away, I've changed my mind.
Bad ass… I have 74,000 miles and no regrets… Also have big dogs and we manage, but 100% delete would be ideal… I have the plans for 100% delete as well if you would like them, shoot me an email at JKHARTEL3@gmail.com
Outstanding video and well detailed step by step approach! We are planning an Alaska trip in a couple of years and a 100% delete will be great. Thanks for the work you put into this!!
Great DIY project and even better video. I literally just pulled my prototype 60% delete out and was getting ready to revise. Thankfully you've already figured it.
I’ve been researching this project for months. Best video I’ve seen so far! Super thorough. I’ve got two German shepherds and wanting to do a full delete and this is a great start. I’m definitely going to be referencing back to this when I get ready to do mine!
I built one about a year ish agao. I have shepherds that go on my trail. First i added soundenter to the actual jeep . It also blocks extra heat. I took the carpet out, added product specific to jeeps that covers the floor and is rubber ish. easier to clean. I also added 4 inch foam and covered the wood up with a easy to clean material. Plus if you remove that plastic back part, you gain a lot more room. I have the speaker box too. I just made a section where it fits. I just built a wall mimicking the floor. plus I added stairs to so as my dogs age, its easier for them to get up and down. I also added to fans to help keep them cooler. . But you are rt about the whole in the middle. I opted out for the same reason. Makes it weak.
😂 great minds think alike I just got home with the torx bit I need for the rear seat. Great video! Ive been stupid busy this last year and have been able to post but hopefully things slow down soon.
As a follow up just finished ours now to sand it all and get in it raptor liner. We went with a flush mount locking latch to keep honest folks honest when our doors are off. Holds our jackery 1500 perfect and allows us to store all our dry stuff on top and tools under
Thanks John! Been strongly considering a rear seat delete to stash the fire gear and med bag now that the fiancée got her a Traverse. Keep up the awesome videos!
You can send them to me via Facebook or email… I would be happy to upload them to my RUclips channel as a short… My email address is JKHARTEL3@gmail.com My name on Facebook is John Hartel… I’m glad the project worked out for you… We use our is literally every day
This is fantastic, and by far the best I have seen on RUclips. Do you mind if I email you for the plans as well? Once I make my own, I will talk about you and this channel in the video I make on it.
If you want to go extreme budget, go to either Home Depot or Lowes and ask them for an appliance box they’re throwing out (free template material) then, go to your local jeep dealer and ask if they have any mopar lift crates for the wood.
Thanks for sharing this. Is it necessary for the cut out around the rear floor mounted cup holders? Want to do this in a 100% to mine and would like a completely flat area.
No it is not necessary to cut around for the cupholders… I just wanted to utilize them… If you send me an email, I will send you the diagram for a 100% delete Jkhartel3@gmail.com
I had the protractor for making perfect circles on wood projects that I didn’t have the right size holesaw… But it for a one time project and it’s been sitting in the box for years… I couldn’t wait to use it again!!! Here we are🤘🏼
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! There is a company out there that does a pull out drawer.. it’s expensive, but yes you definitely could.
Wow clay!! Thanks for taking the time to watch, comment and super thanks!! You are the first super thanker 🤝🤝. If you have any questions or want more info for a 100% delete shoot and email to jkhartel3@gmail.com
I do not directly… But you can use the information given and subtract the difference… Feel free to email me and we can possibly figure it out together… JKHARTEL3@gmail.com
Wes, shoot me an email… I do not have the information specifically for a 40 but I have it for a 60 and a 100… It would only be a matter of cutting out the 40 side… JKHARTEL3@Gmail.com
Shoot me an email to jkhartel3@gmail.com and I will send over the job file… There is actually no program involved, I just hand laid out everything in Adobe PDF… But it’s literally plug-in play on your end
Thanks for the correction.. sometimes when recording, my wires get crossed when trying to keep things concise when explaining.. minor mistakes happen..

I’m interested in a hatch as well..
What brand latch? How did you reinforce the deck after cutting a hole?
Following. Curious about the latch too.
Great help for the diagram, saved me loads of time thanks a million. I had a piece of 2x8 left over from another job, worked great for my supports.
Bad ass!! Always great to hear! Shoot some photos to jkhartel3@gmail.com
@@GatorOverland will do, just waiting to get a day off to finish it up with some carpet liner
Great video, thank you for sharing the details of your project.
Happy to share! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment
Thanks John! Been strongly considering a rear seat delete to stash the fire gear and med bag now that the fiancée got her a Traverse. Keep up the awesome videos!
Thank!! I appreciate that! Knock it out! With all the right stuff it should take your about 1-2hrs🤝
Remember to not put your gear inside the truck, after a fire. Clean it well before putting back in the cab.
Thanks for the insight… That’s definitely fire safety 101…🤘🏼🤝
@@hero2three Benefits of the truck bed lol. Chunk it in the back and haul it to the station for decon.
Exactly my thoughts!!
This is perfect! Nice job. I must be blind. I didn't see the PDF of the layout.
I will have it on my Dropbox tomorrow. Shoot me an email and I’ll forward it to you!
JKHartel3@gmail.com
Woo hoo we’ve been waiting for this one
🤘🏼 thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
I wish I could upload a couple pictures. The measurements were great, made some alterations with supports but worked out great!

Thank you for posting! If I end up doing this and using your plans I will donate!
You bet! Happy to help! Already had a load of folks reach out with photos of their project based on my dimensions with flawless install.
If you want to go extreme budget, go to either Home Depot or Lowes and ask them for an appliance box they’re throwing out (free template material) then, go to your local jeep dealer and ask if they have any mopar lift crates for the wood.
Nice work John!
Thanks bud! Now it’s your turn! Get to fab’n😂🤘🏼
Fantastic, informative and we will be building a seat delete (60%).
Let me know if you have any questions! I’m happy to help
Great work as always my man 🤘🏼
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment bud… It’s a fun project and is a great use of space. 🤘🏼

Phenomenal video per usual! My only question is, did you have a protractor or did you buy one for this? Love the detail. Keep them coming.
I had the protractor for making perfect circles on wood projects that I didn’t have the right size holesaw… But it for a one time project and it’s been sitting in the box for years… I couldn’t wait to use it again!!! Here we are🤘🏼
Crazy wow. Great job
Thanks carol! Let me know if you have any questions.. email jkhartel3@gmail.com
Great product! Would there be enough space to do a drawer that slides out?
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! There is a company out there that does a pull out drawer.. it’s expensive, but yes you definitely could.
I made one on mine, but truthfully the wood eats up more space, so i took it out.
Do you do this for people that are mechanically dumb like me ?
No, but I have talked non-mechanically inclined folks to try for themselves with great success.. 😂🤝
Thanks!
Wow clay!! Thanks for taking the time to watch, comment and super thanks!! You are the first super thanker 🤝🤝. If you have any questions or want more info for a 100% delete shoot and email to jkhartel3@gmail.com
i want to do this to my dual cab ute but the seat is something where is 100 or nothing but could modifi the seat to make a 60%.
Sounds like you go 100% delete and I bet you won’t regret a thing.
What vehicle?
@@GatorOverland nissan Np300 only thing is i sometimes need one extra passenger
Thanks for posting! I could use this sometimes and other times, I need the seats. Hmmmm
#JTRSPARTACUS
I was looking at your set up this morning on the way to work… I could see full potential for your trip to have this deck.. the seats get in the way
@@GatorOverland agreed. Too much stuff.
Hey Gator--You wouldn't have a template for the other 40% would you?
I do not directly… But you can use the information given and subtract the difference… Feel free to email me and we can possibly figure it out together…
JKHARTEL3@gmail.com
@@GatorOverland did you guys work together to figure anything out on the 40%? Would love to hear any insights if so!
Wes, shoot me an email… I do not have the information specifically for a 40 but I have it for a 60 and a 100… It would only be a matter of cutting out the 40 side…
JKHARTEL3@Gmail.com
What program did you use for the diagram? Would love to get the drawing file from you for procreate
Shoot me an email to jkhartel3@gmail.com and I will send over the job file… There is actually no program involved, I just hand laid out everything in Adobe PDF… But it’s literally plug-in play on your end
Can you do a 3D printed one?
Would be awesome, would take forever, but would be awesome. I’m sure someone had the facilities to do it
This is better, in my opinion, than paying for those expensive goose egg products.
Absolutely! There are some perks of the goose gear, but for a simple affordable solution, it’s too easy not to do yourself
Would a large dog crate fit on the 60%?
Depends on the size of the crate… But the usable space area is about 24”x 30”..
Did you use 1/2” plywood?
Yes… Anywhere between that and 3/4 would be ideal
Materials
(1) - 48”x48”x 12mm (1/2”) thick plywood (birch)
(1) - 1”x1”x1/8” (48” long) aluminum angle
(14) - 3/8” x 1 1/4” bolt
(14) - 3/8” nuts
(28) - 5/16” washer
(2) - M12 x 1.75 40mm (1 1/2”) *optional to replace factory anchor bolt*
It's a compass not a protractor
Thanks for the correction.. sometimes when recording, my wires get crossed when trying to keep things concise when explaining.. minor mistakes happen..
Thanks!
You bet… Happy to help… Let me know if you have any questions… Feel free to email me at JKHARTEL3@gmail.com
Thanks!
Wow Tom!! My first super thanks!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
