Please help me NOT drill thru something important! - 2001 Suburban

Hey Everybody.

I'm mounting a cargo slide in my 'Burb. The comedy that is my life has thrown me a few curve balls and I am forced to do this in my driveway with minimal tools and minimal time. :(:(:(:( I miss my air compressor.

I settled on using self tapping hardware to mount the slide to the floor. I was able to see the underside of the floor at the far end of the 'Burb and made sure I could drill and screw without piercing anything. I could also see the underside of the floor up near the mounts for the rear seat and felt confident in drilling the rear attachments.

Now I have one more row of drilling but I can't get a look from underneath to see if there is anything close under the floor. Anybody out there have a photo (or a good memory) of the underside of the rear floor in a 2000-2006 Suburban that might help me feel at ease? I only need less than 1/2".

Here's a shot of the slide. The rear seat attachments aren't visible but they are just past the end of the slide. I'm looking to add 3-4 screws on the middle cross piece.

Thanks in advance.
