    Has anyone ran into this issue before? I ordered the ********* 10” stealth box and bolted it up, it’s tight against the cab firewall and I’m about a half inch from the seat back hinge bolt holes.

    I will reach out to them but any help if I’m missing something would be greatly appreciated!

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    I'm not sure I understand, what is the issue? Are you thinking it's too close to the back seat?

    Got the 12in and it fits in there perfectly. Got seat covers so I had to remove the plastic behind the seats. Give that a try. If your issue is being to close to seat, dont worry about it. Mine is even closer with seat covers and it kicks like a mule.

    Exactly, the box sticks out too far. I reached my hand behind the box and it’s tight against the firewall.

    Does the seat not close?

    So the seat plastic needs to come off for clearance?

    Yes, but it wont be a huge amount. Box behind seats will always be tight.

    Remove the rear seat plastic. Usually you don't even have to unbolt the rear seat. Just open the seat about halfway, then slide the box in at an angle. Should drop right in.

    Ok, I’ll take the plastic off the seat and see how that works. I was hoping I could keep that because I have a Great Dane and he’ll wreck the back of the seat.
