Haha picked it up this morning then had to get my GF to work, just so happened to be in the Parking lot at her work , had to get a picture with it,
Real question is can I rip the bin organizer seat things out to get more space? Plan on getting the most space I can out of it for tools anyone have a link to some pictures of someone who's done it?

Yup, the rear cargo cubbyhole assembly is removable with not much of a hassle. A few folks here have added rear seats to their Panels, so just follow the first part of this "How To" thread, and you'll have the cubbyhole assembly out in a jiff.

Measure the opening before you buy those sheets of plywood. The only way a couple will fit is above the wheel wells, then maybe only 3 and the bed is only 6 feet.
If you do end up hauling stuff with the gate up, be sure to open the side windows because the exhaust sucks right in. Don't get dead.
You can fit a USPS pallet, the ones with feet in the back, but not a regular wood pallet. That's because of the extraneous lid system back there. And a good forklift operator can get stuff loaded past the liftgate.

You may be a little disappointed on the amount of space you can pick up by removing the bins. There is a fairly big hump in the floor pan under the bins for the fuel tank. That what the bins are rather shallow.

You made a sound business decision and your wallet will thank you for it. I regularly get 32 mpg out of mine and it is always carrying an extra 2-3 hundred pounds everyday.
Congratulations on your new ride!
