I like that you keep the middle seats but still make it possible to extend the platform for the night setting. Thank you for the video.

[@johncoaltrain9485]

I have several children and wanted to keep the functionality of the middle seats. This was the best compromise I could think of on the spot.

After seeing the carpet, I like it better than the wood. Looks closer to factory

[@johncoaltrain9485]

Robert Burns agreed. Carpet made a huge difference for me.

[@ladydi4runner]

John Coaltrain Nicely done. 👍 Carpet does make a major diff. Had plush carpet installed w 3” foam piece underneath for the back inside of my 2000 B2000 Mazda truck, once I got the Shell put on. 👍😁 Made for some comfy camping trips! Also nice job on the 4Runner. 👍Have same year bought her brandy new back in the Day! 😳🙄😆She’s got 171K and still going strong! 💪🏻😊

[@johncoaltrain9485]

ladydi4runner great idea on the foam! I bought my 4Runner when it was 2 years old, and it already had 88,000 miles on it! I’m at 200k now. Still loving it!

[@scullyscottchris]

Great job. Very thoughtful for ‘just winging it.’ 😎 👍👍

[@johncoaltrain9485]

Really, the only "formal training" I ever got in construction was from technical theater in high school. Ha. Everything else has been from trial and error.

Best design I have seen yet!

[@johncoaltrain9485]

Hi, it's looking real good! great job! What is the overall length of the sleeping platform?

[@triedandtrue1820]

Loved first video, I'm too old and fat for a loft. :). Good job though, thanks

[@TheBuffalo-Bison]

HeitorMon Costa thanks!

[@Arthur-Silva]

Great work! The carpet looks good 👍

[@johncoaltrain9485]

Mentes Livres thanks! It made a big difference and was super cheap all in all.

[@heloisedrieux92]

Very good job! Can I know how much did it cost you? I would like to do the same in my car :)
Thank you!!

[@johncoaltrain9485]

Heloise Drieux Honestly, I didn’t really keep track of the cost. The most expensive part will be the drawer glides. You can save a little money going with smaller glides, but my recommendation is to save up for the full-sized ones. I hate to steer you wrong, but I’d say $200??

[@heloisedrieux92]

@@johncoaltrain9485 Thank you for your answer! For me the glides are importants so I won't save money on that. I'll try to do as good as you ;)
Thanks for your creativity!

[@johncoaltrain9485]

Heloise Drieux anytime. Let me know if you have any issues.

[@justinjames5016]

Does that block the spare tire access ? Thanks

[@johncoaltrain9485]

No. The spare tire is on a winch system below the vehicle frame. To drop the tire winch, you access a small port that sits between the rear bumper and these drawers. It isn’t obstructed.

[@13milespergallon63]

That's amazing! Im building a similar box for my land cruiser 100 series. Which picture hangers are those?

[@johncoaltrain9485]

S.J. Purps they are just whatever Lowe’s has in stock. Nothing special.

[@13milespergallon63]

@@johncoaltrain9485 thank you!

[@kevina.lawsonsr.8665]

Do you have have plans for this project.

[@johncoaltrain9485]

I don’t. I’m sorry. I made it up as I went along.
