It's just as quiet as before if not quieter.
I also installed some sound deadener on the cargo floor- see the link below:

Well I did it now.
Ever since I built the latest version of my storage box/sleeping platform I have been tweaking the cargo area to fit my needs.
With the Jetboil it has become the norm for the kids to have hot chocolate, instant soup, or even instant oatmeal at any time. Just the other day we went bike riding on a chilly day and they asked me for some hot chocolate. One day they will find out that this kinda stuff just isn't normal- haha!
Being the coffee fanatic that I am, I also have instant coffee (ugh), along with grinds and a Jetboil Java Press on board for coffee in an "emergency", haha! Water is stored in 2 Nalgene containers in the cooler.
Anyway- cleanup is always a problem with the girls. I like things neat and clutter free, so YES- I really did mount a paper towel holder in the back. And it works great!
I also included some pics of how I'm rolling back there currently- I haven't posted any of these- been slacking!
This is what I purchased at Home Depot- the towel holder was $4, lol.
My "power center"- A/C (under yellow cover) is connected to a 1000w inverter, and the 12V outlet is straight to the battery via 8 ga wire.
YES! Another cupholder for my "always there" coffee mug. Works great while sleeping back there. Next to the fire extinguisher is an Emergency Bivvy Sack because you never know...
Jetboil = Awesome
Sleeping bag and pillow stay behind the cooler.
Cutting board tucked out of the way (it pops right out for use), and a "secret" knife under the slide.
Multitool, flashlight, bottle opener and a clip to hold whatever. The slide also locks fully open, or fully closed now.
I keep a lighter in here.
This Otterbox is great for keeping stuff organized. It fits on the wheelwell perfectly, along with a tire gauge, with some plastic wedges I used.
and...That's about it- Happy Modding!
Is the inverter mounted in the wheel well or somewhere else? I have one I stuck under the front seat to face the kids. Would be sweet to add another in the back.

It's a 1000W inverter mounted under the driver's seat. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of it.

Cool, thanks, don't need pics of the inverter. What'd you run the AC power with? What's the yellow outlet?

Yes!
I tapped into an outlet on the inverter and ran the wires to an A/C plug I got at radio shack. The yellow rubber cover is from a small Stanley inverter I had. I modified the cover to fit. Works great!

Is it possible to put subs under one of the seats in a 2010 SR5? I do not want to have a big box in the back taking up a lot of space.

Well good timing.... I'm glad you asked that!
I just went through my storage box and re-organized things again.
Some things I keep in soft sided bags: 1 bag for tools, a bag for misc fasteners (rescue tape, strap ties, rope, wire, gorilla tape, glue, etc.), and a bag for snacks/instant drinks/emergency food (I'm diabetic).
There is also some recovery equipment, jumper cables, a flat-fix kit, airhose with attachments, ratchet straps, gloves, flashlights, light sticks, knives, multitools, fire-making equipment, an axe, a Lifestraw (water purifier), Jetboil, water, the all important bottle opener, cups/bowls, a portable seat (oh yeah!), an emergency wind-up radio, handheld GPS, a blanket, Sol emergency Bivy Sack, small "survival" pack, sleeping bag and a pillow in a stuffsack.
I think that about covers it... just the bare essentials, lol.
On to my next post with an update and pics!

Here are some pics of what I keep in the storage compartment- along with a few surprises!
March 2 was my 25 yr anniversary at work (bonus cash!). After a nice Vaca for the family and some deliberation, my wife convinced me to treat myself to something I've been wanting for a loooong time. Not something I would usually do, but I will definitely get some use outta this bad boy!!
I made some custom mounts for the fridge out of aluminum and made a nice slide out table from Starboard.
...and then this came in the mail today, so I needed a place to stick it.......
Ha HA!!
Happy Modding!

You sir are defiantly an inspiration to all t4r owners. Did you add anything for vibration?
I wish a knew you when I was in your part of town to help me with my old truck, moved from the outer banks to Utah a few years ago.
