Box was roughly 25-29" long and rests on top of the fender well. Notice the cutout supports to be able to get the box even in there

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)

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

what the panel will look like installed with the fancy boat hatch pull (will also be a lock installed, but I didn't get the locking boat hatch because I wanted all of the locks on the truck to use the same ignition 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

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)

center section of the pin cut out to allow me to pound the heck out of it with a punch slightly easier. When using a punch and hammer to get what little short sections of the pin are left out of it, be careful not to distort / bend the bracket out of shape too badly (vise helps a lot)
