Plans for bed in cargo area

[Icculus]

Following to see what you all come up with. The lack of the fold flattish seats from the 5th gen is one thing I'm not super crazy about. Of course that said in my 20 I had the rear seats removed and ran the full Goose Gear sleep plate system. I don't want to ditch the seats in this one so looking for interesting solutions. Or maybe Goose Gear will come up with a great solution save me the hassle for a small (large, lol) fee

Mines just a 42"x42" piece of plywood on top of 2 front runner wolf pack pro boxes.

It's a bit too small though, might toss this one and get a 45"x43" and build some legs for it

For anyone watching this thread, Goose Gear has released a great looking seat delete / rear plate system. Not sure I want to take out my rear seats (maybe one side?) but considering a combination of the rear plate plus the hele box sleeping system.

I didn't do any camping this year because I was way too busy with other things. I did get to do a lot of off-roading (mostly in my Jeep, but also a lot road trips and some off-roading in my 4Runner). I started thinking about the 4Runner for camping again. I figured out that just tossing a cheap cot in the back works fine as an extra bed in the back. I put together a short video showing what this looks like...



I also shared this as a separate post since it's kind of interesting on its own (I think), and diverges from what I was originally panning to do in this post. I might still do something more elaborate in the future, but I think the camp cot solution will work fine for now. I'm also probably going to get a RTT - eventually.

I imagine there's a lot of cots that would work equally well for this, but here's the one I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003696236 - I've owned one of these since 2022 and can say it's a lot more comfortable than sleeping on the ground or a hard platform. I purchased a second one recently, which is what got me thinking about trying it in the 4Runner.
