5th Gen Sliding cargo tray Install - Pics/Steps

Been looking to find a tray for a while and got one from [MENTION=67528]DarkHelmet[/MENTION]

Tonight, I used the Dremel on my install - a great amount of control and get the hole opened up just right.

Finished up with a little SuperWhite touchup paint and put down some sound deadening mat.

Just picked up a slide from another board member and got home and installed. Super easy thanks to the OP for the thorough instructions. I did drop the spare tire and tried to drill a hole through the bottom of the nuts. Now that I think about it I don’t even know if dropping the spare was necessary as they are pretty far to the side. Passenger side I got but you can’t get a straight shot at it unless you have an extremely long drill bit so I actually slightly messed up the thread trying to drill it at an angle. Couldn’t get to the driver side well enough from underneath but once the sub assembly was bolted down the rear mounting holes were dead centered to the nuts so I should’ve just drilled from the top using the mounts as a guide. Once a very small hole was drilled I took the Dremel idea and used a dremel bit in my regular Dewalt drill and it worked like a charm. The bolt cross threaded where I messed the thread up but I forced it in and luckily it tightened all the way down. Not coming out but that’s ok haha! The proper thing would’ve been to get a rethreading tool and fix it but nobody got time for that!

I have a brand new (3 months old) 21 Nightshade. Cargo area/carpet is still in pristine condition.
I am looking to install the tray.

If you have a tray and want to swap, let me know!

Im in SW Utah, but frequent the Flagstaff area and places in between (Page/ Tuba City...)
 
Thinking about building my own. Something that extends further out, but if someone has a tray setup they want to get rid of, I might swap. 2021, 1 month old TRD Offroad Premium, not a spec of dust or dirt on the carpet.

P.S. LA Area
 
Cargo tray

Finished building my own sliding cargo deck!

225 lbs capacity
no permanent modifications to the vehicle.
locking slides of course (positive, no wobble lock with preload)
strong coating for durability.

Would you mind sharing details or a build sheet? That looks really good!

Thanks guys.

P.S. If you want, send your email address to the PM and I will reply to that instead.

Tried to shoot you a PM but not sure if it went through. Would enjoy seeing details on that build.

So... yea... this is my favorite design of them all so far! EXCELLENT JOB!

I'd love to see you do a write up on how you made it!

Pull out cargo deck in VA?

I’m in Richmond VA and looking for a pull out cargo deck — would happily swap my factory cargo kit from 2017 TRD, excellent condition.
 
OEM bolt size to replace with generic ones

Any ideas of generic bolt sizes that can replace these OEM bolts?

Its real PITA to get them in Canada.

Thanks.

I really would like a sliding tray. Would this mod be able to hold the rates 440 lbs? Anyone sit on it with another person yet like a tailgate see how it holds up? Thanks for this thread!
 
I am getting my mechanic to pull mine out today. Completely USELESS for me. I'm in Novi MI. Somebody come and buy it from me. From a Dec 2022 truck.
 
I'm in Austin Texas and would definitely be interested in buying it from you ask the mechanic to keep all the parts bolts etc storage compartment, if you're ever in the area or figure how to ship it I'm definitely interested in buying
