Do you ever regret going with black? I love black (especially how it looks with silver rims), and I also bought a black one…but I’m second guessing my decision to not go with silver instead because of how hot it gets in the sun during summer!!! I’m even referring to my decision now as choosing “Oven Black.” There will definitely be situations where I could nap in a silver 4Runner, but not a black one. Just recently I found myself wanting to nap in the parking lot during a long lunch break for a day long conference, ‘Oven Black’ definitely ruined that decision, and it wasn’t THAT hot, so silver would have worked. I could of course make an adjustment IF there’s an option to find a shaded area, but the entire lot was in direct sunlight.

What size mattress??

This is the best looking design I’ve seen. Do you have plans or dimensions for it?

@wallinkevin do you have build plans for this buy chance?

Super clever!

Do you have the build plans for this buy chance?

Awesome build. I know this is 3 years old, but could you share the dimensions and materials? I’m trying to do the same thing and would appreciate any advice or afterthoughts!

Did you use a guide to build the whole thing? I would love to know if there is a tutorial for this!

How do you close the hatch once in? Haven’t found a good way yet in mine.

Question for you buddy. On our 4th gens, the folded down back seat creates an incline in the back platform. Does your design level out the platform, or does it incline as well? Just curious, and thank you for a great video and design! Cheers mate.

awesome ! very good job

Looks comfy

ooohh looks sooo heavy!! nah thanks

Thank you!!! I came across your video in searching for a bed platform, I was very impressed with how versatile your design was. I'm retired and on a fixed income. I get away and overland for a few days at a time and with a few modifications, I used your design this week and it turned out awesome. I cut a couple of extra legs and used a couple more hinges so I can still use the single back seat and fit my single tri-fold 31" mattress at the same time or put the single seat down and use my tri-fold full mattress. I have a 2018 5th gen 4Runner and can't wait to get away and do some dispersed camping in the snow this winter and sleep comfortably. Thank you again for posting Cheers!!!

very nice your project, congratulations! I'm Brazilian and I'm coveting my SUV too. in january 2023 i will hit the road and i will go to el Chaltén and Bariloche in Argentina and i will also go to your country in 2025, only by motorcycle. I see you...

I'm so happy I found this video. So far you are the only one I've found who has a drawer system, with a sleep platform extention, with a similar concept to what I had in my head. I just got a 5th gen recently and I really want a drawer system/sleep platform while still keeping my back seats and this is exactly what I was thinking of!

You nailed it! Brilliant design and the best I've seen so far! Thank you for sharing your design and video too!

Well.........I'll be dipped !!😲😲😲

How much was total cost?

Where did you get the matrice?

I have seen a lot of videos but your set up is perfect!! Thanks for sharing!!! Sub from me!!! Keep it up my friend!!!!! 👍👍👍

Great build. It’s exactly what I’m wanting to do with our suv.

I love this build! Do you happen to have a copy of plans for sale?

What were the wooden legs you used ?

A Batwing Awning/Tent, a roof rack loaded with camping equipment and water and yer goodta go. Yeah buddie.

would you be willing to do a layout blueprint of the build? great job!

Awesome

U sound like Jesse from braking bad

Finally, someone says how tall they are. I’m hoping as a 5’9 guy myself, I can fit in one of these. Thank you for the video!

Perfekt 👌

Nice!

Great ! You rock brother

I like your compartments around the wheel wells.

Simple, cheap quality build. Love it. It has helped me resolve more my ideas for my build. Its looks awsome. Is just sad to see more than 77k views on this vid and less than 2k likes, come on ppl drop that like for this man!

Do you have a link to the hinges you have or did you just get them at like Home Depot? I'm interested in doing that folding design as well.

Very clever.

Is it bolted down to the vehicle at all or just "free standing". If the latter, does it move around/rattle or when you pull the drawers out with weight, is it secure and not tip up some?. Love the looks of it btw, and thanks for sharing.

What kind of hinges are used here? Thanks. Great build!

Kevin, thanks for the great video. Any chance you have a video of the box build? Dimensions, etc.? TIA.

Did you do this with the rear cargo deck in, or did you take it out?

Very simple and very functional. I'll make like yours but with HPL finish. I know it's an extra work but it's hard to get multiplex with teak wood finish here.

Very very nice, thanks for sharing

Did you use a layer of ply as a base and then screw the uprights of the drawer system into that or is it just sitting on the carpet of the cargo space?

5’9” on a good day 😂 Love this. Motivates me to get after my 4Runner.👍

I don't know what you do for a living but if your not a carpenter or cabinet maker you might be in the wrong business.

This is the best setup I’ve seen so far, after watching a LOT of videos! I love the screw-in legs, I was going to use 2x4s but this is much better.

I live in that for almost two month , And i tell you to put bed that high is hell . Take that seat out dont be lazy you will enjoy it more . One other thing I hate is the compartment in the middle will stop you from craw up to your bed from inside .

Any chance you’d share measurements on wood and hardware you used? Or diagram? Just picked up an 04 and love this.

I would love to do this exact thing. We want to do this but we also want a baby and our dog to come with everywhere, so this is leave in, storage is brilliant, and it's just perfect. I'm memorized and told my boyfriend we need to build this!!!

Are all of the legs the same size?
