Some of you have been looking for a solution to the folding rear seat. Well, here it is. You can't fold down the seat back unless you move the front seats forward or remove the rear headrests. Took a set of folding headrests from the previous gen and swapped the covers. I might cut the hole open for the button in the future.

Can you talk me through the swap? I’m at the point you have in the pic, but the foam on the 5g is wider than the 6g.

Did you use the 5g foam with the 6g cover?

Correct. It's a tight fit but It will fit in there. Cutting a hole for the button is optional. I did install the foam first and then the plastic part button side first.

Thanks!

Getting the buttons on the outside was as easy as using a razor blade around the push button, but inside the bezel ring. Pushed it through. Can’t see the razor blade cuts.

I just didn't feel like cutting it at less than a week old yet. Lol

Air intake system. Puts the stock one to shame.

I do like that intake and SB has a great paper filter. My only issue would be water, dirt/sand and mud would hit that filter instantly when off road. Wonder if a baffle could be made to divert the air down and away from the filter like the stock system. But I bet that defeats the benefits of this box. Love following your progress.

As on my previous truck i run the pre filter when I actually go offroad. It's water repellent and filters to a smaller micro. So, I don't worry about that. Even if it's raining it's hard for water to get up and in there. If you look at the path it would take to get there ford already designed it so things won't go directly into the filter.

From yoiur pictures it looks like a straight shot right to the filter. Nothing like the factory setup. What am I missing? And what is this pre filter?
