I want to set up to take my dog in the cab plus part. I can gain a little room there by taking out the jump seats, which I don't see that I would ever use. Besides the fact it will probably leave an ugly spot, which I can cover with floor mats, do you see any downside or problems to doing this? It looks like there are a few bolts that hold them in. If these are drilled through so water/debris could come up through, I could just put the bolts back in absent the seats. As to the seat belt for them, I'm not sure if they can also come out, but that's not a big deal.
Side comment, I got the WeatherTech dog barrier, it's pricey, but, so far, without actually using it, it seems really good in its construction and I like having bars vs mesh. It's totally adjustable. It's supposed to set vertically, but there's flex to the top/bottom ends so I'm pretty sure you actually can put it at an angle, that maximizes space for dog while still letting me put the seats back far enough and with enough tilt so they are where I would want them anyway.
