I love how you made this so simple. Like seriously people overcomplicate a bed platform for their fjs. But yours was so simple to the point. Nothing bad at all about it. Loved the video.

I built this and used it, it's fantastic! The only difference is I used an overall length of 73". I just leave the hatch folded back so I have enough room to position the seats for driving comfortably. Then just move the seats all the way forward and flip the panel forward. Magic! Thanks again!

Can't imagine sleeping in a FJ Cruiser at your height! I'm barely 6' and even with a platform it's not optimal. Learned from my first build where I tried to leave the rear seat functional which can work. I used scrap wood and the plywood was junk.

I see a potential problem accessing the jack on the left side in the rear. Perhaps a hinged section at the rear? I made a simple platform in the rear and the seats are still installed. The platform provides a flat area for my dog, and I have tow straps, chains, some tool, etc under the platform. I would like to install a second section forward and hinge the back section to it with another hinged section behind the front seats resulting in three sections with the center one tying the front and rear sections. Now if I only had a place to store the seat bottoms.

Mark Miguel i have old man emu 3 inch lift and 285s (33s) tires . And that thing is great . People spending extreme amounts of money in crazy suspensions and big 35s tires and they brake all the time on the trails . I witnessed many fails on expensive shit . I do a lot of off road and never ever had problems with this set up 👍 old man emu is well now all around the world 👍

How far up are your seats? I measured mine and 70 seems to push the seats up quite a bit to accommodate.
@colorado4x4adventures62
@colorado4x4adventures62 4 жыл бұрын
Yes the seats are all the way forward. To create much space as possible. That is why you make the folding door . Open up when driving around. My seat is all the way back . Camping sliding seat to front . Doors down 👍

If you carry 3 people in the car including yourself do you think a piano hinge down the long side to fold in half lengthwise for travelling with one rear passenger would work?

CheekyMonkey i am not sure because the rear seats are completely out . If you keep the seat in it won’t be flat.

@@colorado4x4adventures62 so then your overall height has to be bigger, to compensate for the seats., but in turn would create ample storage space under the bed. I would think using a hardwood such as Birch or Oak would be better than Doug Fir ply, to support the weight of two people? This gives me what I need to start on mine. Thx!
