Something close to this is what I've had planned.Nicely done. I wanted to keep the rear seats just in case so I came up with a storage option without removing the back seats. The panels fold back allowing the rear seats to be used. Also included tie down rings and cabinet locks which lock the panels down using the built in tie down rods built into the rear seats
What storage boxes did you install? You set up looks great!
That's perfect.Nuked my back seats on my 2-Door and made a deck from wood to fit the contour. The deck fit just fine from the front to the back with out bolting down. Between the bolt tops, side seatbelt brackets and the rear tailgate lip it just fit level. Covered in a Lowes outdoor 5x7 rug cut down to fit. I have a working trapdoor that just needs just cut out that the carpet is still covering. Simple KISS design. Had to unbolt the speaker to get it through the back door.

I've had your post bookmarked literally for years now...and now I have my Bronco! One more question for you (I didn't see it in any of the comments): what thickness plywood did you use?Nuked my back seats on my 2-Door and made a deck from wood to fit the contour. The deck fit just fine from the front to the back with out bolting down. Between the bolt tops, side seatbelt brackets and the rear tailgate lip it just fit level. Covered in a Lowes outdoor 5x7 rug cut down to fit. I have a working trapdoor that just needs just cut out that the carpet is still covering. Simple KISS design.

I used 3/4 in wood.
Thanks!
Weird, I just asked about this on another thread....
That question can probably be answered with a multimeter. Check resistance of the seat side connector......
I messed around a bit and was going to try a resistor but with all the electronics in this car and it being 2 days old at the time I just pulled the female part off the seat and put it under the rubber mat. Works fine with no issues and there's plenty of room for them in there.
I'm in the middle of working on my seat delete, I checked the resistance of the connector at the plug on the seat itself and got 1420ish ohms. I also checked the resistance with the belt plugged into the buckle and it did not change, so it seems to be just a dumb circuit checking if the belt is there. Seems worth a shot to get a 1400 ohm resistor and see if it works, I would bet it would. I prefer not to remove the buckle and stuff under there also. To bad damn radio shack doesn't exist anymore I would try it out this weekend.
Well now Im laughing. Literally 30 seconds ago I lamented the loss of Radio Shack as well. Not sure I have ever used the word lamented. lol
Hah! Seriously there is no places locally to buy a damn 10 cent resistor anymore. @Bikeric used a 2.4 ohm resistor on the seat belt pretensioner plug harness since he deleted the belts it looks like. So 1.4kohm resistor to do a belt buckle plug bypass and 2.4ohm resistor to do a seat belt pretensioner bypass.
Thanks for noticing that! I havent taken mine apart yet so was thinking that was the buckle. Im away from my Bronco, dreaming of my upcoming adventure to Moab. Trying to order some parts to arrive when I get back home.
