Default Coolest crew cab interior mod yet!

I always loved the idea of quad bucket seats in a crew cab, and I finally made that happen this weekend.

I'm not a fan of aftermarket interior parts. A different leather seat skin is one thing, that I like, but actual custom interior parts I find more often than not to be tacky.

I was able to track down some buckets from an 05 Yukon Denali XL that match my interior, and the last piece of the puzzle was the console. I was able to find one this weekend that seemed to be close enough to the right color.





The seats alone keep it nice and snug, but I had to make a bracket to raise the front a little and secure it a little more.


And there is a JL Audio stealth box inside the console that I will be wiring up with a 10" W3 to give the stereo system a little more guts. The Factory LUX stereo is pretty good, but I think this will add just enough without overpowering the speakers.


Next on the interior project list is to hook up the heaters in these rear buckets. I need to figure out exactly where I will mount the factory switches.


I'd like your feedback. Should I try to move the console at all? Is it too high? Too low? Too far forward? Also, I was debating the console lid from a Denali since it will be leather wrapped etc... but I'm not sure it will fit.

Let me know what you think!

Seen this done a few times. If you don't absolutely have to have the bench in the back this is the way to go!!

Yea I have seen it done before too. It's hard to find pictures of rear bucket seats though.

You have a house you don't need a bed in the back lol.


Looks great Rob , the rear bench seat in the classic crew cab trucks are terrible, and of a poor design for comfort and room . Buckets in the back look soo much better.

I ran a JL 10 in my dmax , complimented the factory Bose quite nicely

Thanks Tim. I'm excited to get it all squared away.

I really love the idea of quad buckets. It's been one of My favorites since ford did it in their early model crew cab Harley's and king ranch's
