I would love to know if anyone has received the hybrid seat delete recently and if any changes were made. I just ordered the 60% delete yesterday and saw this thread today. If they haven’t made any changes, I’ll probably cancel my order build one myself.
My order arrived first week of June. Zero changes made.

Installed mine and I don't have a single issue.
To help understand:
* When did you receive your kit?
* When you say "...don't have a single issue...' are you saying the version of instructions you received are 100% correct, the seat vent is unobstructed, all bolt holes in seat support frame had corresponding holes in the platform, and all tool call-outs were correct?

I'm hoping, for everyone considering a purchase after yours, that's what your comment confirms.

I'm taking my TH in for 10K Toyota Care Service & probably Trailer BSM, will likely remove my 60 delete so everything is accessible for the techs. I have maybe the 2nd or 3rd build from GG for the hybrid rear deletes, no real issues removing the hybrid filters, I think the design is good, no complaints

Have the 40 delete also, but lately rocking a 3 seater haven't done huge trips as of late.
The access panels are fairly generous in terms of surface area. Unless there's something specific under the seat that needs attention, I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to remove the delete just for a routine maintenance visit.

Just my 2¢.

While the filter vents are easily removable I got a heads up from my dealer that for recall & 45k service, mods like that are a no-touch for the techs. It’s an integral part of the truck, need to remove the platform to replace the 12v battery as well. So that thing comes out on occasion with family visiting in the winter too. Don’t forget to apply the antisieze.

I originally thought full delete was the right call but these boxy camping fridges being peddled to the overland crew are an pain in the ass on the rear platform - and with how & where I camp - their extra ~5L is unnecessary. Since switched to a 3 seater setup with a 18L tucked into the floor behind passenger, with solar from the top of the GFC inline to a Li-Ion cell onboard the fridge, couldn’t be happier with this setup. Lighter, and it’s fairly hard to see for smash and grabbers vs a big ass $1k fridge sitting in the back. Obviously can’t do this on a Pro w/the air ride seats.

Water is the biggest weight & duration penalty out there for me, so a slightly smaller freezer/ fridge all good 🤙🏼

I explicitly bought my rear seat delete to mount my ARB 50 fridge. Originally it was powered by a 50ah battery under the fridge, charged off the engine. I have since pulled that battery/charger out, and I now run the backseat fridge off the 200ah in the canopy-camper. The ARB50 isn't large enough for my longer adventures, so I also have an ICECO APL20 in the camper.
