I appreciate the feedback. I try not to put too much fluff in my videos

Also want to get other people into it too. The video isn't just for you.

​@@AZOverland2017do both. To each his own. Diversify 😊

Love it, thanks for sharing. I keep all my recovery gear and tools up top as well. Sounds like you have a sweet setup

@@AZOverland2017 My brother has a shop that customizes Toyota/ Lexus 4x4s, so I have a very sweet build lol. The first mod I did was a Magnuson supercharger (It is my second 5th gen, so I knew I needed it lol). The seat delete was recent and I also added a long range fuel tank. The farther I can go and longer I can stay out, the better!

@@lunamaria1048 Can you tell a bit more about the Magnuson supercharger?

@@lunamaria1048So, I have to ask what is a seat delete and how does one add a long range fuel tank to a 4Runner?

@@bluenetmarketing had the back seats removed, all together. A "rear seat delete". "how does one add a long range fuel tank?". The same way one adds any other aftermarket modification lol

Agreed

It’s hands up on the price 🤑

Thanks for watching Steve. Check out some of my camping videos to see my full setup. I've actually been taking less with me on more recent trips to minimize as well

Lol, thanks. I'm glad you were able to get in touch with them and yes, they are very nice. I like supporting small, local businesses too. Have fun with your setup and thanks for the feedback

Great to meet you as well. Would love to come down to your shop and shoot some video of some of your products so everyone knows what's available to them

Thanks for your comment. I agree 💯

I do something similar now. I have a 74" long ply wrapped in speaker carpet under the mattress. I store it in the garage when I need the seats and slide it back in when camping.

Very. I might add a thin board underneath to bridge the small gap in the 3 row seat layout

Cool, good luck!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!

Thanks for watching

Nice! They are located in Central Phoenix

Thank you!

You should contact them and ask if they will be there.

@@AZOverland2017 yup, I'll be doing that today

Do you have a 2 or 3 row?

@@AZOverland2017 just a second row.

🙏

Interesting. I have the 3rd row one for the 5th gen. It is a good fit for me. I'm not a tall guy at 5'6

I don't feel like the mattress retains heat like some do because it's not a cloth material. The comfort is adjustable. You can inflate it to be firm and push that button on the top to let air out little at a time to make it softer. It's better than any air mattress that I've used. It doesn't have those peaks and valleys like most air mattresses. It's actually a combination of air and foam.

Do you have a 3rd row? I am now using a piece of carpet wrapped plywood under the mattress which is working great. I just take it out when I need the seats up. I also raised the part of it by the tailgate to level it out. It's a very easy build and I am very happy with the whole setup

Thank you!

It self inflates but I use an air pump to make it faster. Any air pump like you said. I use my Ryobi cordless tire inflator and it works great

Thanks. It's still my primary camping mattress

@@ernestrhee777 That's correct. And, I've addressed that in several of my other videos and what I've done to get the way I want

Thanks. I ended up cutting a piece of plywood 74" long and wrapped it in speaker carpet to use as a platform for the mattress. It fits perfectly from the back of my driver seat to the hatch. It removes and stores easily as well.

Thank you, appreciate it

Damn chickens

Thank you

Hey Charles! I have to agree with you regarding their customer service. Unfortunately, I have also found it difficult to get someone to talk to. They have a great product but unfortunately come up short on the service side. I met Liz, the owner (with her husband) at the Overland Expo last year and in person, her and Claire are wonderful. That is where I purchased the mattress and a few other items. I ended up visiting them at their location in Phoenix and Clair once again was great. The issue is the shop is nit open everyday and when they are off no one answers the phones, emails, and don't return messages. I would try Liz's email directly to see if you have any luck: liz@deepsleep4jeeps.com Regrading the the leveling mat, I don't have much information about it. And yes, I have also noticed they don't show or describe it on the website. Good luck on your trip and I hoe you have better success with that email. If I remember correctly, they said they are usually at the shop an Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Maybe try giving call then? @deepsleepoverland9843

@@AZOverland2017 Thank you anyway, we went ahead and decided to bite the bullet and purchase the mat online. The site will not allow you to proceed and check out. I just feel fortunate to get what I have. Thanks for your response!

If you go to the main part of the website it looks like they have them for a few other vehicles; Bronco, Jeeps, etc

I did feel it a little but slept well nonetheless. I have since built a very simple platform though which made it much more comfortable. It's just 3/4" ply wood (74" long 24" wide) and wrapped it in speaker carpet. I can easily slide it in when going camping, otherwise it stays in the garage.

When I purchased this at the Overland Expo they gave them to me. If you don't see it on their website, give them a call

@@AZOverland2017 I just reached out. Thanks so much for the info. Happy Holidays to you!

Thanks! I'm using the Qaulizzi screens. I'll put a link below. I use them to keep the mosquitoes out and for ventilation when camping. There are several good companies that make them. amzn.to/3eFlPVA

What size did you choose?

@@restinpeacesmokey48XL for the front windows and L for the back windows: amzn.to/46X5d1o amzn.to/3tIecW6

It's the Canvasback. Absolutely love these covers. I did an early video on it here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLiYhKma1LLRY5s.html

Interesting, I haven't tried it that way, but I will now.. Thank you for your input!

That's a good question. I actually didn't know that was available until you mentioned it and I went to the website. I need to get more information about this. I was thinking of just putting a piece of plywood under it to take the gap up for added comfort. I want the incline, that is what I am used to

@@AZOverland2017 is the gap really noticeable with this sleeping mat? I have terrible back problems. I’ve tried to sleep in the runner a few times but no luck with that middle section. A cot with a sleep Mat so far has been the trick in a tent unfortunately.

​@@orlandomendoza8915 Just to be sure, it looks like they offer the 4Runner mattress that I use (the one in the video) and a leveling matt (which I just discovered) I don't have the specs on the leveling matt so I will refer to the actual mattress. With the gap in the 3 row 4Runner you may feel it a little under the mattress. I do, and have back issues, but it is not significantly noticeable. I think having something like a 1/2" plywood under this mattress should eliminate this. I am actually going camping this coming week and am going to try this. I can report back after the trip.

@@AZOverland2017 awesome looking forward to the results!

Well, 2 things; I like a small slant since I have acid reflux and it is the way my bed is at home as per my Dr. However, it is too much of an incline, so I have a very simple 3/4" plywood platform I cut to size and wrapped in speaker carpet that I put underneath. I am still playing with how high I am going to raised the middle and foot area and still keep a slight incline so I am temporarily using rolled yoga mats under it. When I find the proper lift for me I will add wood supports to make it permanent. That platform comes right out when I need the seats up.

@@AZOverland2017 thank you for the reply! I was trying to find a video on KZfaq to help me since I’d have to build this on my own with no experience or tools lol! But I also thought of a thick yoga mat and just cutting it to fit the area. When you get the right fit please do make a video as this is so helpful! I love my deepsleep mattresses :). Also I don’t wanna remove my 3rd row and most videos on KZfaq show people building platforms with removing the 3rd row. Like you, I just wanna put something there when I need it and remove it when I don’t.

@@bluepeace6 Gotchya. I'll shoot to do a video on this in the near future

Lol. Ah, you could use it in a tent too

No. I have my bed on a 5" slant at home to deal with acid reflux so I'm used to it. I did end up making a simple platform out of plywood and wrapped with speaker carpet to help with the space between the seats when down. I made it for my dog and ended up using it for my mattress when camping. I just throw it in when needed

This worked fine but I ended up building a 72" long 3/4" plywood platform and wrapping it it speaker carpet to take up any gaps. It is higher on the head side which I like. But. I do put a few blocks of wood under to bring my feet up just a little. Its easily removeable so I have access to my seats

@@AZOverland2017 niice I have a 97 4Runner Placed a wide regular hest mattress and digging it so far

LOL, good question. Actually not that hard, but tight. When you deflate and roll it up if the straps clip, it will go back in the bag

I believe 1 is included if you have a 3rd row. Not needed for the 2 row. They gave me a 2nd one because they like me 😁. You actually only need 1 with the 3 row, you just need to flip it long way up

Thank you! It is the 3rd row mattress and I have the deflation pump. I actually don't know what the leveling matt is, I haven't seen any pictures of it. I ended up making plywood platform wrapped in speaker carpet to put under the mattress to take the gap up between the seats. It is 73" long and 23" wide. Regarding those cubes, I believe they come with the 3rd row mattress, but please confirm that with the company. Since I added that platform, I no longer need the cubes.

Thank you for the reply. I will reach out to them. She probably has all kinds of people calling because of you!

I have the 3 row which sits a bit different than the 2 row as far as the way the cargo area is when all seats are folded down. There is a slight incline up towards the front of the 4Runner which is actually good for me and the way I need to sleep. So, I personally do not want to make it perfectly level. What I am going to do is put 1/2" plywood under it next time because there is a small gap between row 2 and 3 when folded down. Though not a huge deal, I can sometimes feel that gap through the mattress. As far as the 2 row, from what I've observed, it looks like it lays down pretty flat so not sure anything really needs to be done there.

I haven't used the Megamat but I just looked it up. It appears to be very similar and a good quality product. I'm going to be testing a new mattress as well soon.

@@AZOverland2017 - It seemed very similar albeit not contoured to the 4runner like this one is. I have one (duo medium), and so far it's the best mat I have tried for camping. Be curious which one you try next

I have a 50L Iceco and that size definitely wouldn't. Maybe one of their 21qt would of the seat was all the way forward

It's a Canvasback designed specifically for the 4Runner. 1 of the first few videos I did was on this, check it out. It's been invaluable protecting the seats since I am constantly sliding my ladder and tools in and out. Great for the pups too.

The details are in the video below. It's part of my Canvasback kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLiYhKma1LLRY5s.htmlsi=7scQ76V56f3d9t2C

I think it's 72" or 74" long

I have the 3 row 4Runner and I just fold the seats down flat, no seat delete. I'm not sure how the 2 rows are if you have one, but I would think the length should be the same. At your height, you should fit fine. Left or right is personal preference. I mostly sleep on my left side so I wanted to fave the open part of the back and not have my face right at the door panel.

@@AZOverland2017 Thanks I should order the "standard" for the left (viewing from the open back) right?

@@gregfagan38 If you don't have 3rd row you would order the Standard. It fits both right and left, you just flip it. The Standard is 68" long. My 3rd row mattress is 72" long. Unless you have something to level out your cargo area, I believe the non 3rd row (standard 2 row seating) needs a leveling matt as well.

@@AZOverland2017 So, I fold down the second row, I don't have a third row, and the standard is fine? I mention this because on the video there is NO SECOND ROW and the blowup pillow fills the void where the SECOND ROW would fold down. SO, in summary, FOLD DOWN THE 2nd ROW and get the standard. Again, your video shows the 2nd row REMOVED. okay?

Just to be clear, the 2nd row folds down and is NOT REMOVED and this mattress fits? - The Standard?

I would say if you set it up like I did it, would be tight. I think you would have to bend a little. If you had a full size mattress or 2 of something like the DeepSleep mattresses and slept diagonally, then yes you should fit fine. I have the 3rd row so my back cargo area sits quite a bit higher than the normal cargo area that folds flat. Having only 2 rows would be more conducive to filling the back with a mattress and stretching ot for someone taller. I'm only 5'6"

@@AZOverland2017 thank you so much!

@@TyrantTiger85 advantage shorter people...exactly once. 🙄

Yes, they are for 4th and 5th gen.

I'm not certain. Try to teach out to the company to be sure

Great, enjoy them!

Sorry to hear that

I remember when I walked with no confidence. _“Only those who have mastered the art of self belief can truly own the weapon that is a Toyota 4Runner”_ - some shit I made up.

There is a little bit of a decline but not really enough to slide. I sleep the same way with bed at home. The head is higher than the feet by close to 5 inches.

Ok, enjoy your Walmart air mattress. Thanks

It also depends if you are looking for 2 row or 3 row as they fold up differently. I have a 3rd row, and if I put my front seats all the way forward I have about 83" (6'9") of space between the rear hatch and the back of the front seats. However, there is obviously a gap that would have to be filled for head support. I filled those with the blow up cubes as seen in the video. I can't speak for the 2 row 5th Gen

5’9 would be the most that can sleep straight in a 2 row 4Runner
