I am starting a new thread to give all of the details for building a locking aluminum storage box to replace the third row seat.

Removing the third row seat is fairly simple and is covered in another thread on this forum. It basically unbolts from the floor. I am not claiming credit for this modification, someone did it last year. What I did do was to have the fellows at our plant do a professional job if executing the design to fit my needs. The first picture is of the area that is available after you remove the third row seat.



this picture shows the bolt hole that will be used to secure the box to the floor to prevent removing it.
