04 Rear Bench Removal...

[hick]

Becoming very tempted to install an inverter in my 04 extend cab. Mostly it would give me some thing to run the air compressor when i go qauding, but it would also be nice to have for my travels back and forth to Canada as well just in general

My plan is to install it on the back wall of the cab. Remove the carpet, glue some MDF to the wall, put back carpet and attach inverter to MDF

How ever, I haven't been able to find anything giving me some direction in removing the seat, let alone how much is back there. Normally i would just jump into and it and figure it our for my self, but i don't have the time time to screw around with it my self and take 2-3 days figuring it out my self

If any one could point me in the direction of some info (attempting search this forum with no luck) or just give me a quick explanation to get me started.

I was thing 1/4 MDF across the whole back of the cab giving me room down the road to install an amp (when funds allow). I AM NOT INSTALLING IT DIRECTLY TO THE SHEET METAL as i have been told by some, and even done by some installers... I figure PL 400 (not sure if you have that on this side of the border) would be more then enough to hold it on

Any advice is appreciated

I would use 3/4 MDF so there is more for the screw to bite into.

There are 4 bolts, 2 per side, on the bottom of the bench. Also there are 2 bolts in the middle, so 6 bolts total.

Going for something like this?

Exactly like that. I was thinking 3/4 but I thought it might be two thick and i'd lose some needed space

What is that one, an 04 (or similar) i would assume?

[hick]

duh. never mind, i just looked at your sig

Between you amp and inverter, which is taller, and so you remeber how tall exactly?

[Atomic]

amp likes 30x8, power inverter is like 13x6 I guess

Does the the seat come out as a whole, or does the bottom and back come out as two pieces?

[Atomic]

Comes out as one piece.

damn, did they change something in 05? i was lookin at mounting my amp behind the seat, but i didnt think there was enough room back there when i looked.

nah they are all the same

A lot of people put amps and every thing back there so there has got to be room. I just have never seen anything inperson ot back that up so i just wanted to ask

I have seen pictures, and i don't know how well it was done, but some guy build a sub box of some thing for a shallow sub back there...
