    This was what I came up with for sleeping in my Land Cruiser. I think the rooftop tents are really cool, but this is a lot cheaper and is easier to access for my dog.

    Dealer installed option, part of the "Action adventure package" I think with some JDM rigs, on my Hdj81 when I first got it. It's changed a bit since then, as I now have a fridge in the cargo area on the drivers side, so the sleeping area is good for one now. bed1.jpgbed2.jpgbed3.jpgP1020339.jpg


    You can see the two extra boards in the first pic. They lay down on the rear most bar, with velcro strips to hold in place, then sit on top of the rear seats when folded down. The boards are lightly padded, but I use a self inflating mattress, and it's quite comfy.

    I still use (and sleep like a baby on) the simmons beautyrest futon mattress, but I have a couple of ideas for something nearly as comfortable at half the thickness. The storage platform weighs 42 pounds and can be removed in about 5 minutes, but is secured in case of inprobable rollover. The front flip hinges on the 2nd row were cut out to lower the leading 2nd row seat edge by 2 inches creating a nearly flat surface on the same plane as the storage deck. I use a mildew proof cover that goes over the the top section of the truck to keep it dark inside, but no photos. Maybe I'll remember to take more pics next time though it's been a couple of years since I camped last.

    I'm on the final planning - a sleeping area without rear seats. A thread about this would be so helpful.

    Please post links in this directions too!
