Thank you 🤓

Next time get a metal pipe and put it on your Ratchet handle or use breaker bar. It will make it whole lot easier. 👍🏻👊🏻

@AutoRevLife 5 месяцев назад

PVC pipe works pretty well too

Great job! I’m trying to muster up enough courage to do this to my 2004 Suburban. You’re inspiring me.

The generation Suburban that you own is the one that I want to get to do a 'no build'. Thank you for showing how to remove the back seats. This has inspired me MORE to buy the 2000-2006 Suburban! I KNEW that space was huge but wow after seeing this...LOTS OF SPACE!

@MeganClaarke 4 дня назад

Soooo much space! It's very comfy to hang out in with its boxy shape.

What kind of portable fridge were u able to fit in the center? Thinkin about how big of a fridge could fit without it being an uncomfortable arm rest lol

@MeganClaarke 9 месяцев назад

This is an IceCo JP50! The height took some getting used to, but I really don't mind it! Perfect for propping my head on my hand at a red light 😂

@MeganClaarke 4 дня назад

Nothing beats have a bed and a fridge in your car.

@justme5384 5 дней назад

They're so hard to remove because they're bot meant to be removed. They're the thing holding the chair to the car in a crash, and the seatbelt is connected to the seat

@MeganClaarke 4 дня назад

Lol, touche!!

@user-mo8wo3or5y 2 месяца назад

Hey get yourself a half inch wrench and a 3/8 little longer on the handle gives a lot more force less effort !

@Adam-bx8vb 7 месяцев назад

@anitablades6033 10 месяцев назад

You lucked out, my SUV has a lot of wires and electronics under them. And my center console has my shifter in it. But my friend took out my double seat in back out. So I put my sleeping pad there. The passage seat in back I kept but plan to use it to hold my cooler., when I don't have a passenger. Subbed so I can see what else you do 😉👍

@MeganClaarke 9 месяцев назад

Oh dang! I feel lucky, it's a game changer for space. My passenger seat is basically my pantry 😄

@LocdnessMomster 9 месяцев назад

What fridge is this? Do you like it so far?

@MeganClaarke 8 месяцев назад

It is an IceCo JP50. I bought it used on Facebook Marketplace for $500 CAD. Only issue I have had is the little light inside is failing. Otherwise, I love it :)

@chrisballmer6274 7 месяцев назад

@JessikahElise Месяц назад

Which fridge do you have? How do you power it when your car is off?

@MeganClaarke Месяц назад

It's an IceCo JP50! I have a second battery in the SUV as the 'house battery' to power the fridge when my car is not running. The battery is charged with solar and by the alternator while driving.

Might be a dumb question but your car doesn't need to be on for the fridge so stay cold?

That's right! I have a second battery that stores energy and is hooked up to the fridge
