You might want to check your differential. You may not have limited slip. The easy way to check is to look at the RPO sticker on the passenger door. Look for "G80". I had concerns, and started this thread to research it.;

- Here's the last row, row 5... (we've since removed this row to accommodate more storage.


- This is everything forward of the last row. We actually moved the 2-seat frame from the last row and replaced the left single seat with it. Now there's 3 seats across row 4.

I’m curious, do these captain seats have quick release?

I consider 4 bolts quick release, since you just hit them with a ratchet right under the seat, but no theres not a lever.

Agreed. You can see the bolt heads at the base of the seat frames in the pics. The 2-seat frames use 6 bolts and the single-seat frames use 4. They are heavy to remove from the vehicle (a second person makes it easy, though).
