Nice stuff! Now take out that useless third row of seats and carry more!

Seriously, if you have a jumper cables or a jump start box in the equipment, and I think JD had the same issue once as I did, don't store it in the way back where a dead battery will trap it. Without power, the liftgate is dead with no bypass method to open it. Put them under the hood or some other place you can get to in case YOU'RE the one needing the jump.

I have them in there for unseen things, with the back seats down it makes a nice last min bed if I need one right now.
