I use the rear seats folded down more often than I have anyone in the back seat so I figured I would take them out. Used a piece of plywood I bought and had cut at Home Depot as the base, used 4'x3"x2" pieces to reinforce the base and allow room underneath so the board doesn't rub on the bolts that stick out. Added a foam mat that I stuck on top and secured it in place with 3M double sided molding tape so it doesn't slide around. I also added hooks that aren't in these pictures so I can tie cargo down with tie-downs and bungee chords. I added a hinge and cut out the area to access the tire changing gear and tiny cargo area underneath where I keep the spare tie rods. I was going to get the goose gear rear seat delete but all the parts were pretty expensive and I feel I didn't need it to be that fancy. I figured if other people have done it (definitely better than mine) then I could do it since I had the tools (drill, driver, circular saw). Everything cost me about $100. Just useful enough to have an area to store snowboards, inflatable paddle board, off-roading gear, camping gear and any other large items that I needed to fit back there from time to time. The plywood did smell so I ended up coating it in a water based polyurethane and that has gotten rid of the odor. I will end up painting that edge in the back so it all matches.
