Sleeping/storage platform
Here is my sleeping/storage platform I built. After searching hi & low for something that would fit my needs this is what I came up with. My criteria was light weight, function, & does not permanently alter my rig. The whole setup weighs less than the rear seats I removed and bolts down to existing mounting points. I used a piano hinge to access the storage area where the seats once were.

That looks nice and functional for storage. Sturdy frame.
But, can you actually sleep on it? I don't know your height, but for me it'd be unsuitable to sleep on at all. Unless remove the passenger seat and extend the platform in it's place...
Otherwise, nicely made platform.

I'm 5'9" so it fits perfect.

A friend of mine who owns a machine shop did it for me, since I know nothing about welding I don't know if it's mig or rig.

Thanks, I spent a lot of time figuring out what I needed to suit my specific needs and it couldn't have turned out any better.
