rear cargo panel door with fancy boat hatch (doesn't have the lock installed yet, and I didn't get the locking boat latch as I wanted all of the locks to work with the Toyota ignition key, so I picked up several lock kits and will have the pins changed to my key)

Mounted with one of the supports replaced and the hole cut in the box to match the side panel.  Removed the tail light wire and ran it through the side area under the box in the back

Other 12 ga plate installed to replace the other rear support.  I did it in such a way that it catches about 1/4" of the removable cargo panel and will do the same on the other side so it doesn't fall into the space

Front side of the box.  I actually unhooked the rear tail light wiring and ran it on the inside of the side panel and metal supports to bypass the box (unlike the factory on the outside of the metal supports)
