We are planning on taking the sliders off our Trailhunter. We are up in Red Feather. I am sure we can work out a deal if you want them.

Did you consider just removing the back seats so that you would have flat load floor for the Luno?

I did not. That’s a great idea. Have you tried that route ? Definitely miss the headroom I had sleeping in my 5th gen.

Nice! Let me know when you get them off.

I haven’t tried it but I am considering it. If you beat me to it let me know how you went about it. I think I would buy a made to order mat. Probably keep the cargo area one and then add a 2nd large one.

I’m gonna take the seats out this weekend and mess around with it. I’ll let you know if I figure out a solution.

I appreciate it .

HaHa! Bought mine at Stevenson, too.

Looks great!

Did you notice a big difference with the Baja Designs SAE fog light swap? The stock lights are pretty solid so trying to decide if it’s worth the upgrade.

How much is the head/torso area raised with this sleeping setup? I am leaning towards the Goose Gear rear seat delete but is $$$. Wondering if this is good enough?

Thanks!
I did notice a big difference with the Bajas. One thing to keep in mind is installing them costs more than the lights if you use a shop. I checked with 4 different shops and was quoted anywhere from 4-7 hours. The high labor cost is why I decided to add the behind the grill lights at the same time. Those things have some crazy output.
I’m going to Moab next weekend to camp in it for a few nights. I’ll get you measurements and report back on over all functionality. I’m sure it will comfortable but I’m not thrilled about the headroom, especially if I need to get in to hide from weather for a bit. Colfax campers makes a cool platform with drawers, cost wise would in between my setup and the Goose.

Sounds good. Thanks!

I had a colefax campers platform in my last vehicle (also in CO). It was nice but the 6th gen seats require the platform to be too high IMO — headroom, load floor, COG, etc.

I heard the lights are a pain due to the entire front fascia having to be removed. I am thinking about a couple other mods so likely going to wait to do it all at once. Thanks again
