Cover for under seat storage?

I’m trying to find a cover for the under seat storage box. I often put up the seats and fill
The back with stuff when I do my art exhibits. It would be great if it was flat. I can always cut from plywood, just rather do something more professional.

 

There is another thread around here about that , but the search for review

but the short story is there is only one option at the moment and it’s nice and all metal, has locks etc , but it’s very expensive

Yea I’ve seen it. And I agree expensive. I just want a lid.

 

Awesome product! Great design and buildup Any chance there's a kit to relocate the seats to the bed, so I can still fit the kids

 

Cool, but I don’t want to lose my seat.

 

How hard would it be for Toyo to offer one? I had a lid in my 2015 Ram that folded out with legs to form a completely flat rear floor.

Not exactly some engineering feat to put a man on Mars. If an affordable one does not show on market then I will fabricate one myself once get the honey dos done

 

I’m currently talking to a local custom plastics shop to have a lid, (without hinges) fabricated. I’ll update when I have more info.

 

Subbing to see results.
Would it happen to leave you the ability to keep seats installed?

 

Yes. I’m going to try and get the guy to CNC cut it to set inside that little lip on the tray. I’ll see what sort of options as far as rigidity there are, but I may need to also have a couple of tower supports to prevent flex.

 

Good idea! Maybe he can carve channels on the underside to epoxy in some sort of metal support in them. Should add enough rigidity without the need of support legs. Or double up material leaving space for said metal support if initial material thickness is running on the thin side.

 

That’s brilliant.

 

Can't wait to see the end result

 

I did a little research to find part numbers for covers over hybrid battery under back seat. Here is what I found. Also a bit pricey. Double check part numbers with your dealer before ordering if you like this option. If it needs support you will have to fabricate something.

Love to see what you settle on. Please post pictures.

 

Would it not be strong enough or is the seat structure different on the hybrid

 

Okay thanks Ryan

 

I search for it. Thanks

 

$900+ for an entire replacement bin that has a hinged lid with no support struts designed by ESP. Yikes.

I agree with the Hybrid cover not being a good solution as it, at best (after some modifications), would just provide an access hole. Limiting size of items able to load.

I think, together, we're getting closer to an affordable quick removable "lid" solution.

 

I built this cover from plywood so when we travel, we can put the cooler or other items instead of them falling into the storage hole. Also, I don't like putting anything on my seats.

My wife's 19 tundra has covers so it surprised me the new tundra does not. Not a deal breaker though.

 

Is this attached somehow or is it just resting on top?

 

No, it's not attached. I covered it with toolbox liner for drawers available at Harbour Freight.

 

Here is what I did on my 2023 Limited.
3/16 plywood with some seat covering material.
Couple of internal blocks of wood to keep it located.

 

Hey, love your underseat cover/lid for the Tundra. Can you send pictures of the underside and the cutouts for seatbelts? Please. I’m going to make me one so I can carry my dogs easier.
Thank you!

Following up on this thread. Has anyone found anything for making a flat surface in the back when the seats are folded up?

 

Found these options, looking for a simple cover so not for me but might be of interest to someone.
