Yes, I like the design how it is. Say you are putting a cooler up front you would have to lift it up and over the face, instead of sliding it in. TWSS. However, expanding on your idea maybe engineer the seat to slide out or fold up (Think fold up like the stop plate on GMCs)to create a barrier...
What are the chances for removable doors on the Traveler? I wouldn’t expect it on the Terra but it would be cool. Or is that even a thing people would be interested in.
