    That is a very nice box. Best I've seen yet.

    On a side note. Where did you get the floor mat? I haven't seen that one before.

    Can you tell what structure the seat bases are connected to?

    Well. I'm that half assed carpenter today!

    I blew your photos up as much as I could and copied your design. From what I could garner from the pictures and few measurements you provided. A huge Thanks from me!!!!! If you make it down to Orlando, a cold bucket of bottles of your choice awaits!

    Here's what I came up with for anyone else feeling inspired by these projects:

    20191230_123411.jpg

    One of my employees has a Tundra CM, and he too was looking for under seat storage. I had a full sheet of plywood for this project, so I made two from the sheet:

    20191230_134215.jpg

    Here's one completed from carpentry:

    20191230_153434.jpg
    20191230_153741.jpg

    Thanks to you and your ideas, I'm having them sprayed tomorrow, and then I'll install mine after Holiday and his next week.

    I used a Blonde wood 1/2 inch plywood furniture grade from Lowe's. I'll have a whopping $80.00 in both of them when they are completed. Took me about four hours today to build them. Without your pics and description, it would've taken me much longer.

    Thanks again!
    Randy

    Here it is completed and installed. My 2020 has the keyless FOB, and the antenna for this is located underneath where the center box would be. I drilled a 7/8 hole through the front of the box, and mounted the antenna inside the front vertical board. For anyone else doing this, you need to beware when cutting the foam on the center of the vehicle. It's slightly off centered to the driver's side. I cut the rear, and sides and presliced the upper portion of the foam not going all the way down and pulled upward from the rear forward to break along my splice. This allowed the cable to be unharmed.

    Thanks again for the design.
