    Hey guys, my name is Thomas and I live in N. California. I just pulled the trigger a few weeks ago on a new white, 2016 TRD Crewmax, sr5 upgrade with Nav. Only upgrades done are Tundra weather mats, weather tech backseat mat, line X bedliner, and just ordered some Marathon seat covers.

    The truck is fantastic and love everything about it, so glad I went with a full size.

    My question to all of you is, does anyone make some sort or angled rubber block that will help make the back floor flat? I'm looking for something like this for my dogs soft kennel when we go on long trips. His kennel definitely fits but I have to adjust the seat to somewhat pitch it in place so it doesn't rock, and even then I'd like something underneath where the kennel drops off so he doesn't puncture the floor of the soft kennel. I have thought about just throwing and old pillow under there, but the flat back surface would also serve for other purposes too. Any suggestions???

    Thanks guys!

    I know exactly what you are talking about. We help a lot of feral cats and the kennels don't fit at all in the back because of the rise under the seat. The only thing I can think of is measure and make your own sort of box to fit it. Probably wouldn't be too hard if made out of 2x4s and some plywood.

    TTU- yes, I've thought about just making my own. My dad bought a rubber mat that a local Tractor Supply Co customer cut for the back of his dbl cab Tundra. He has a camper and didn't like crawling on the plastic bedliner trying to get something in the back, can't blame him there. So, I might see if they can make something for me. If I end up coming up with a solution, I'll post the pic so you can see what it looks like.
