Wing nuts are a great idea! Who knows maybe I will do that eventually and lower my platform haha

My platform is 53" x 76" and a full size is 54" x 74". But you can find foldable mattresses with varying sizes I'm planning on getting this https://www.amazon.com/Fusion-Dri-Tec-2-inch-Mattress-Topper/dp/B01GD8XUXQ What part of Cali are you in? If we are close you could check it out before...

My dog is actually 29 to his back and about 34 to the top of his head. So jumping in doesn't quite work for him haha I just have to get his paws up and shove him in haha. The only thing is if the platform stops at the folded seats it's only about 5'6" and I'm 5'10" which is why I made it so...

Yupp just two 12 inch hinges per flap.

Hey good eye! I was going to post that link with my modifications to make it easy to follow haha. You want it 2 inches shorter than mine or the original?

Neither am I! I did this all with a sander a chop saw and a hand held circular saw. Very very easy! I will post all the measurements and supplies and everything within the next few days. This whole project took me about two days totaling 6 hours.

Hey guys! I wanted a platform that I could leave in and put my seats up without giving up to much room or being too short. I'm really happy with what I came up with, mind you the head room for sitting up is only like 22 inches but that's more than enough room for sleeping and uhhh.. other...

St Runner yeah idk where it came from but im also missing the electronics on the diff for the locker. On a happier note I just added a Hayden 678 to bypass the trans cooler in the radiator. No pink milkshake for me!

So I just calculated my mpg... 13.84 haha sound about right for having 3.90 with 265 70 16?

Awesome thank you! I think I have to replace my oil pan gasket anyways which requires moving the diff I believe so I will check it out then. I think I will be purchasing an assembled third from east coast gear supply once I figure out the the front gearing.

Hey guys I just did a spin test I had 38 DS rotations to 20 tire rotations. I can't find what ratio it would be. I saw one guy who had 45 rotations equalling 4.56 do i have around 3.80?! I read that my model with the rear diff should be 4.10 4.30 or 4.56?

Will do! Just gotta wait for this storm to pass out here in SoCal. Pretty good one for Cali. Already some bad flooding, fallen trees and telephone poles.

Haha sorry about that! What's the benefit of 4.88s with larger tires? I'm actually planning on keeping it close to stock. 75r16s with a 1 maybe 2 inch bilstein lift and level it out. I already have the tall coils. Need new struts and what not soon so why not haha only 300 something bucks...

I was planning on re gearing anyway bc the 4wd is acting up. I wonder how much it will he to re gear and replace that flange? 1200 or more all together? I've never re geared anything haha.

I'll keep it. Hopefully learn a lot from it, definitely learned to check every little detail when buying private. The guy was really cool too, it was too good to be true. Hahaa
