This is the Grenadier's back seats folded. They not only take up an enormous amount of valuable cargo space, but there is no way I can sleep in the rear with the seats folded or unfolded in an emergency bivouac, of which I have had more than my share. I will be on local (i.e., within 200 mile) trips until they can be removed (deleted, as the expression goes) in Philly. They were supposed to be gone two weeks ago, but they are still there.
With the seats out, I will store all that was stored on the Defender's roof rack in the rear (except the gas jerry can), and use the roof rack primarily to store things when I am using the rear to sleep in. There are two batteries located beneath the seats, which makes the "rear seat delete" more complex. The new floor will have access panels so I can get to the batteries when needed. The auxiliary battery is there tp operate the accessories, but I guess it can be used to recharge the engine's battery when it dies, but, unfortunately not mine.
