Product R&D Time - Ranger Rear Seat Delete

[Parknas54]

Quick question. I placed an order yesterday for the delete and back wall but have a Ranger Raptor. With what you stated above does this mean I ordered the wrong back panel and the subwoofer version will be added to the website? Is so, could you make that change to my order please? My confirmation number ends in5F8A

Excited to get this product! Thanks

First off, thanks for the order!

Sorry if that was confusing. We are only going to have one version of this product. What we delivered for the commercial trucks had a slightly different shape to work without the subwoofer. After making that non-sub-specific version, I realized that didn't add much value. So, we are only going to produce the version of the platform that works for both sub and non-sub.

Long story short, you ordered the right thing. Thanks again!

No problem!

Oh ok. Sounds good. Thanks for the quick reply!

I received several messages asking to "pre-order" the Rear Seat Delete. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to do that and get the orders into the ERP system (it won't confirm the order until it's paid).

However, the product pages are live now! We sold several over the weekend, but we'll build them in pretty big batches. We have had a ton of interest in these. I think the price point and ease of install is key!

Please see the note on the product page. We will not begin production on these until Wednesday. We cut the subwoofer version on Friday and got it formed and tapped/countersunk today. It will go into our Ranger Raptor tomorrow. Assuming that's good, we'll begin production on Wednesday for these.

Huge thank you to everyone who provided input on this. I was really happy with how this process worked. We'll do it again on future products as well.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Got my order in! Very excited for this. Thanks for such a quick turn around on getting these order-able.

Keeping my eyes peeled for the bed slide, hopefully next!

I ordered some of the bed rails a couple weeks ago and they haven't shipped yet. I ordered those raw aluminum but if you have another variant in stock I'd switch to speed things up.

I have a 3 week over 2,000 mile trip coming up and the sooner I can get everything fit together and address any issues the better.

order 74372.

Thanks again for the repeated order! We really appreciate it.

The Chase Rail you ordered fell below our build-to-stock volume, so we had to make that one for you. All of that finished up on the 25th and is just waiting on final packaging. It may ship tomorrow, but I'm not sure how backed up they are right now. We keep the shipping team pretty busy, and they're slow. We want them to be slow (ie diligent).

RR is in the shop today to finalize the seat delete! Should have it wrapped up in about an hour and production to start tomorrow, barring no changes, which are not expected.

I'd like to suggest some tubes that connect o the AC under the front seat floors and bring them up level with your rear seat delete platform and attach there. This would bring the air flow up instead of being trapped in the now almost enclosed space. Our Fur babies would definitely thank you! These could be option item attachments.
BTW, I plan on buying one as soon as they are released. Or even sooner if you would like to send me your final prototype before production release!

I plan on purchasing one as soon as they are available. I second the AC access idea. I'll test out a prototype just to get it sooner. My 2 dogs are getting up there in age and getting hard for them to jump into the back of my 2024 Ranger XLT FX4 4X4.

Great. Thanks! I will have a "ramp" that will attach safely to the platform so dogs will be able to easily walk up in to the back. I'll probably work on that in a week or so, depending on work load.

I think we can come up with a bracket that will secure some flexible ducting to get the air back above the platform. Should be inexpensive and work well. With all of the attachment points built into this system, it's expected to have a ton of optional add-ons like this.

Today went 75% well.

I get to do something that I really like doing publicly, admit when I'm wrong. Humbleness is good for the soul. It turns out, we do need a spacer to sit on the plastic bins. The platform left a mark on the bins that didn't meet our standards. So, now we have a 3.1mm thick 17.5mm diameter spacer, specifically cut for this application, that will sit inside the recess of the cubby holes. I couldn't find who suggested this here on the thread, but please respond back and claim it. I owe you a cold beverage at some point. The last photo is the new spacer. They will get tumbled and be all nice and smooth when shipped.

Tucking the seat belts behind/under the platform works great. No dash lights and fully functional airbags for the rear.

Very happy with the install process! We'll get a video together soon showing how easy and fast it is.

We have quite a few orders for these at this point. We'll start production on them tomorrow!

I'll work on the ramp later this week or over the weekend. I think it will be a great addition and wet everyone's appetite as to how we can leverage our "modular" design with a ton of accessory options.

We do the same with our Wrangler systems and the flexibility works for countless use cases.

By the way, the Wrangler in this photo is for sale, if anyone needs one.

Nailed it! @John E Davies hopefully we meet up sometime for that free beverage I owe you.

Any plan to do a MOLLE panel that spans the entire length, same height as the one you have already? Or a second one to fit on the other side, but same height as the one in your photos?
