Double cab pickup trucks offer an exceptional base for overland travel, and the rear passenger area is ideal for conversion to a rear cargo area, should you not need to carry extra crew. Whether you need a convenient space to locate your luggage, camera gear, fridge, or crated pooch, a rear seat delete frees up substantial space and ensures that the rear seats are not damaged as they are removed and placed in storage. We have also seen travelers equip the rear passenger space to carry tools and spares as well as a spare tire, which makes sense as that weight is low and in front of the rear axle.
TNT Customs, a manufacturer of aftermarket parts for Jeeps, recently unveiled its latest overland-inspired product: the JT Seat Deletes designed for Jeep Gladiator models from 2020 onwards. This DIY, bolt-in accessory provides offroad and overland enthusiasts with a versatile and customizable solution to optimize the rear space of their Jeep Gladiators. By allowing Jeep Gladiator owners to remove the rear seats, the cabin is transformed into a spacious cargo area capable of securely accommodating gear, equipment, and supplies.
Engineered with precision, TNT Customs’ JT Seat Deletes employ durable and lightweight materials to ensure the vehicle’s structural integrity while reducing unnecessary weight. TNT Customs claims that the installation process is seamless and does not require any permanent Jeep Gladiator modifications. This means that when the time comes to hit the trails with passengers, the rear seats can be effortlessly reinstalled. TNT Customs developed the JT Seat Deletes utilizing 3/16 aluminum, as this material offers lightweight characteristics while remaining true to the brand’s commitment to expert metal fabrication.
The distinctive advantage of TNT Customs’ JT Seat Deletes lies in their impressive customizability. The aluminum platform can be easily drilled and threaded in various locations, enabling users to add diverse accessories according to their specific needs and preferences. The platform is offered as raw aluminum to seamlessly blend with the Jeep’s style, allowing for optional painting or powder coating in any desired color.
Have one child or a tag-along-Tim? For customers who still require a seating configuration in their vehicles, TNT offers the platform in both passenger and driver options (it is important to note that the corresponding seat must be removed to accommodate the platform).
Installing the JT Seat Deletes is a straightforward process. Users can effortlessly set up the platform by simply removing the rear seats and securely bolting it into the factory bolt holes, enhancing their Jeep Gladiator’s functionality and space.
Tanner Daniel, TNT Customs stated,
“At TNT Customs, we excel in manufacturing top-quality steel and aluminum parts that are specifically engineered to conquer challenging terrains and build highly capable offroad vehicles. With the introduction of our JT Seat Deletes, we are excited to provide Jeep Gladiators owners with a practical and customizable solution to maximize their vehicle’s space while upholding our commitment to superior craftsmanship.”
