Not sure if Brad is still making these for people or not. I've got a set that have been installed for a few months that I'll let go for $40. Send a pm.

In comparison to without the platform, 1000% better. Whoops, looks like I Home Depoted wrong :). But $27 for 70sqft wasn't a bad deal. The way that it's designed, coupled with the fact that I sleep with my head towards the rear, I really don't think the seats are bearing much weight. All of...

I'm definitely considering removing the seat bottoms at the least for this upcoming trip. You're right, it doesn't sit flat when it's supported by the seat bottoms, but the angle isn't repulsive and I'm still able to sleep easily. I sleep with my head toward the rear hatch because there's more...

I don't disagree with you, I probably could have gotten away with less and still had something super stable. I can't imagine it weighs much more than 100 pounds since my 140 pound cyclist self was able to put it in place alone. But yeah, thinner boards would have made a big difference, though I...

Don't think it's just you. Working on the images. EDIT: Photos are now live.

Yet Another 5th Gen Sleeping Platform So. Long story short. A friend and I decided that we're going to road trip to Baja in a couple of weeks, and I decided to build a sleeping platform to make the back of the 4Runner more comfortable (I've "slept" there a couple of times before), and to reduce...

Those things are great looking. There's more than a few of them around my town, amazing that they're still going strong.

velomatt you should swing through Whitefish, MT for some mountain bike riding. There's a pretty impressive network of trails here, and lots of fun driving to do as well. jwhit88 when are you heading to Baja? I'm planning to cross the border on April 9 for a couple of weeks of some beach camping.

Here's mine

Who is BrianSD_42? I tell you, this guy is the worst guy. People are calling me every day and saying that he's the worst. He doesn't win anything. That's the problem, nobody wins anymore. We don't win anymore.

Not quite today...but my favorite thing about this thing is being able to drive up over a snow bank and head to the lake.

KDSS is the best suspension. Everyone says it's the best suspension. People call me every day and say it's the best suspension.

I like the Duratracs a lot. Have done some stupid driving in the snow and made it out every time.
