Removing Rear Sliding Tray and Converting Rear

I've seen a number of posts for people wanting to ADD the sliding tray and the parts list of things to buy to do it. And a few posts of people swapping the sliding tray parts with someone else's non-slide parts. Then there is the old thread explaining how to remove the tray and what was under it - but the owner was just curious and they put the tray back in. But nowhere could I find a parts list if someone just wanted to buy the parts to swap out the tray for the standard cargo area configuration.

WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THIS? Our 2011 4Runner Trail didn't have an option to NOT have the slide. It seemed useful at the time but it has it's own issues (stuff falls behind, you lose about 4" of cargo height clearance, and the slide only extends like 60% of the way out). I have a 2nd Gen Taco with a Truckvault drawer system in it and really enjoy the utility (and security) of the drawers. I wanted the same utility in the back of the wife's 4Runner as we plan to add a RTT and use it for summer camping with the family.

I've decided to remove my tray for installation of a BOSS Strongbox 4Runner drawer system. I really like the platform above that I can mount my AluCab fridge slide to. Alas - the BOSS drawer is NOT compatible with 4Runners that have the sliding tray... So it's gotta go.

Rather than find someone with the standard cargo configuration to swap parts with, I decided to just buy the required parts so that I can swap back to the factory slide if I ever sell my 4Runner - especially if I upgrade to a new 4Runner and want to move the box over to the new rig.

If anyone is looking to do the same here are the Toyota OEM parts that you need to convert the cargo area to the standard cargo configuraiton:

(2) 58249-60020; BRACKET, CENTER FLOOR BOARD SUPPORT $20.37 ea.
* You can reuse the two bolts per bracket from the brackets you are swapping. They are the same part numbers.
(2) 64721-60010-C0; COVER, LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT $37.21 ea. (these are the cargo D rings)
(1) 58401-35061-C3; BOARD SUB-ASSY, RR FRONT $232.24 (this replaces the storage cubby with the sloped floor behind the rear seat)
(1) 58579-35021; PAD, RR FLOOR $248.22
(1) 58570-35150-C5; CARPET ASSY, RR FLOOR $482.42

Notes:
1) I found all of the parts online from another Toyota dealer for much less than MSRP (even with the $100 S&H). My local dealer wanted full MSRP + sales tax.

2) The carpet alone nearly doubles the cost and for some reason, Toyota considers it freight so it adds ANOTHER $200+ in shipping. (You can't just roll it up and shove it in a box? ) Since I am covering all of the rear carpet with a Strongbox, I found a roll of automotive carpet on Amazon for $37.48 & free shipping. Reviews were good and one person mentioned using it in their 4Runner for a sleeping platform and it was a near-perfect match to the factory carpet. I will cut to size with enough to tuck under the trim pieces.

Total cost including aftermarket carpet: $538.02

Pics to follow when the swap is complete.
