Any pics/measurements of 84-88 sleeping platforms?

Thanks so much.

 

I'm building one right now. I will try to get some pics up.

 

Here are some pictures so far. Keep in mind it is not done yet.

 

That is a thing of beauty. Are you worried about the excess weight at all? Do you need to fasten it to the floor in some way?

 

It is heavy. But I am used to always having lots of weight in my truck. I may end up fastening it to the floor somehow. But for now it is very well trapped by the roll bar. We'll see. I also have an additional board that folds out over the rear seats to make a flat sleeping area.

 

Holy moly that is nice.

That platform must be for a 4Runner, because of the woofer?

 

Wow man that is awesome! I love the incorporated drawers to stow stuff in and the sub. How much you reckon it weighs?

 

I am guessing that it weighs about 100 lbs. empty. I have also incorporated an inverter that is wired into a pair of flush mounted outlets. There are also flush mounted tie downs. I have to give credit to skyrat since I am copying a lot of his ideas. I will be installing paddle latches on the drawer fronts like skyrat did.

 

Oh wow I was thinking it would be at least 100 lbs heavier. Well good work man thats awesome haha really inspires me.

 

More pictures. It is done now all but the maroon carpet on top.


This is the part of the platform that goes over the rear seats. It folds up for storage.


Here it is all laid out flat.


Here is the support for the front platform.


Here are the drawers with the rear seats up. The rollbar fits on into the side slots. I am repainting it now. Maybe by tomorrow I will have pictures of it with carpet and the rollbar on.

 

Wow man thats sweet ! That will definitely make an awesome sleeping platform, haha bet you can't wait to get out and test it out. I know I'd be sleeping on it the night it was finished just for the hell of it

 

I am going to the marlin crawler roundup for it's debut. I have a few other projects to get done before I leave. I am glad you like what I have done. So far I am very pleased with it.

 

Very cool. And fine craftsmanmanship. Thank you for sharing.

Just want to confirm -- you're not keeping/removing anything in those side pockets that you might possibly need (like recovery tools) though, right?

 

they are actually still accessible. The front of the drawer is wider than the drawer itself. when it is opened it provides access to the side cubbies.

 

Ya I was kinda wondering about those side drawers as well, but that makes sense now haha. I take the marlin crawler event is out in the western part of the country?

 

yeah it is at Rubicon.

 

Ah I see ha of course its on the other side of the country from me.

 

Here is the finshed product. Got the carpet on yesterday and stained the drawer faces with a coat of polyurethane for protection.



And this is a drawing I did with some dimensions.

 

Looks great! Thanks for sharing.

 

Not that you would very often but how long does it take to remove from the bed?do you store the fold out in the rig or garage?

Looks great. Been thinking of a fenderwell height one in my 2nd gen.
