I have made a simple one piece aluminum bracket that allows me easy access to that space behind the rear seats (and boy do I have some plans for that space! I know that this will not be the first time anyone has done this. I just haven't seen it (yet), I've only had this truck a little over three weeks.

This is what the finished product looks like:

Simply lift up on the tab and the seat back folds forward. Soon to reveal some serious speaker action and amplifiers....

This is what the bracket looks like:

A simple 7" long aluminum strip with a 1/4" hole (the slot was added to make it fit on my buddies 2009 sCrew. The pin on the latch actually has a mushroom head which requires the hook like feature. My 2011 is a simple (read as cheap) piece of 1/4" round stock. I used a simple jack-nut or push-nut (like that used to hold the wheels on a kids toy car) to hold my release bracket and prevent it from falling off. This is what it looks like behind the seat and attached to the seat latch:

I had to be careful not to push the nut on too far, a fair amount of play was required to allow the mechanism to latching properly. All in all, I spent less than $6 for everything. I was going to plastic-dip the tabs, but that was going to add $12 more to the project so I just polished out the aluminum with the buffing wheel.

Any interest in making more of these?:thumbsup: Id buy a pr from you!
