[QUOTE="Jmeo, post: 1930216, member: 38554"] I purchased my 2023 G3 off the lot and it was missing two options that I would have selected if I was ordering the truck. One is the rear under seat storage. The other is the tailgate step. I have since learned that you have to get the twin moon roof panel to get the tailgate step, so I may have not gotten it because I do not like the moon roof. Anywho, on to my post. I ordered all the factory pieces to retrofit a factory storage compartment into my truck and thought I would share for anyone else who may want to do the same. While I was at it I also purchases the plastic piece that closes out the driver side (larger) cubby. I really liked having things stored there on my past trucks, so I wanted to add that too. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1242.jpeg"]417244[/ATTACH] After I received all the parts, I used a friends truck as an example and removed his storage tray to see what it looked like underneath. What I found was four circular cutouts in the carpet for the four mounting feet of the storage tray. Here is what it looked like: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1235.jpeg"]417247[/ATTACH] I noticed that the four bolts come from under the truck. Then there is a thick washer on the bolt, but this is placed on the inside of the truck. When I checked under my truck I noticed that the four holes are threaded. So, the bolts thread up from underneath until bottomed out. The washer gets placed over the bolt threads that protrude inside the cab. Then the storage tray slips over the bolt and washer and is secured down with four nuts. Lastly, four plastic covers pop into place to conceal the hardware. Here is the parts list: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1240.jpeg"]417245[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1241.jpeg"]417246[/ATTACH] I placed the storage tray in the truck and pushed down with medium pressure so the four mounting feet of the storage tray would leave impressions in the carpet. I then cut out the four holes in the carpet. I was able to get to the two holes under the truck on the passenger side, but the two on the driver side are above the gas tank with ZERO chance of getting to them (without dropping the gas tank). So, I installed the two on the passenger side and used a little ingenuity on the driver side. I cut off the heads of the bolts, notched out the other end, and threaded them in from the top using some red locktite. Luckily I have a handy "hollow' Pittsburgh socket set that made the next part a breeze. I put a flat head screwdriver through the socket, extension, and ratchet to hold the stud from turning by placing it into the slot that I made. Boom, Bob's your uncle.
