I was having a hard time finding my preferred stone color, but finally found it. I'm going to look at those covers though. Thanks.
They seem like they are made pretty well, but there were no directions with them. It was a pain to buckle the straps under the seats, but after tightening them they fit pretty tight.

Finished my seat delete project this morning (with t

he wife stitching around the edges and openings for the seat belt buckles). I wanted the seat loops and seat belts exposed for securing items. Quadruple layers of felt fabric are layered under most of it for help with sound reduction. After years of being around Harley's with straight pipes, Mack truck with no mufflers, large construction equipment, being in bands and my first marriage of 20 years, I'm so used to noise it doesn't faze me anyway.

Nice rear seat delete! what kind of fabric is that?
Thanks. The fabric is felt from a fabric store, with velcro sewn into some areas of the edges.

Looking good. :)

I custom ordered mine last year with the factory rear seat delete. We're empty nesters and the wife's Escape has rear seats if the need ever arises.

The factory Supercab rear seats are pretty much useless, in my opinion, and I wanted the sportiest Ranger possible. A little extra storage space behind the seats is a bonus.

I have the Ford Performance/Borla exhaust and I don't notice any additional noise. My previous vehicle was a 2001 Bullitt GT that had a fairly loud factory exhaust, complete with drone at 45-50 MPH, so the Ranger sounds very, very tame in comparison.

All extended cabs are basically 2 seaters, but I do occasionally (very) need to tote another human so I leave mine in. But, how did you remove the rear seatbacks? I removed the bolt at the top, but I tugged and pulled and never could get them out. What's the trick?

Agreed. I don't need to have people sitting in the rear seat area as we have other vehicles for that as well. That area is more useful for me as storage. What sound level that may have gone up is negligible compared to my '16 GT with a DIY rear seat delete as well. Heck, I should remove the radio because I like to hear the sound of the headers instead.

If I recall correctly, facing the seat back, it’s a bit of a push down and a sharp pull towards you. My seats are stored at my cottage - I will be there Thursday and can take a picture of the back of the seat - I think it will help you reverse engineer what you need to do.

Yep, that's about what I did. I removed the top bolts and pulled the top of the seat toward me (I think there was a plastic clip holding it about 3/4 of the way up the backrest) and wiggled it back and forth with an upward motion. I used some abrasive language and in my mind it helped.

So, now I totally understand your avatar!

The factory rear seat is a great option for the Scab - I have taken the rear “jump seats” out of my previous (‘91, ‘96, & ‘01) XLTs for the storage space - also, those angled seats were ridiculous.

Yep, I watched a few YouTube reviews and whenever any normal sized man got in the Supercab rear seats, it was obvious they were uncomfortable.

The only downside to a topper on a SuperCab is that the front of the bed is an extra foot further away from the tailgate, which means climbing in to retrieve stuff that is too far forward to reach by just leaning in. I suggest getting windows that open at least on one side to be able to scoot stuff forward without having to climb all the way in there.

Yes, that one on the passenger side slides open and has a screen.

These are largely made-to-order, so you can choose what kinds of windows you want where. There are several options.
Yup. I appreciate these more than ever after hauling a bunch of stuff to the desert.

Thought I'd submit this because I'm off today due to rain. I just got my Coopers installed yesterday and sold the original Bridgestones 15 minutes later. Next week, . . . windows get tinted and cb radio package coming from Right Channel Radios.

I did not get the windoors with my topper due to how high the bedsides are on these trucks. How tall are you? Can you actually reach in and get things out easily? For me it didn't seem like it would make much of a difference.
