I've been scowering RU-vid looking for this type of build..I have a 2019 JL Sport S and I've been traveling in it with my dog and I might add sleeping quite uncomfortably..But now I'm going to build this with my brother in Dec..I am 6'2 so sleeping vertically will actually work just fine.. I just ordered a hardtop and roof rack so I can store my gear..And now with this, I can save money by not buying a tent and can sleep in here comfortably.. Totally stealing this build..Thanks..!!!!
I've been looking into designing my own overlanding / camping set-up for my 2 door JK and I like what you've done here. I think I could modify the slide panels to extend my foot space between the front seats, and also utilize heavy-duty drawer slides with a plywood floor so the cargo under the sleeping platform will slide out, perhaps one side for a camp stove the other side for a cooler. Looks well designed and constructed.
Nice build, and a few thoughts. . . . * reverse the 1st & 2nd panel placement. This would allow the drivers seat to be left in place for when just one person is sleeping and preserve a safe drive away ability. * an upgrade thought would be to construct a slider storage box or two to more easily get access to below the platform. * regardless of the ideas above, I would want to maximize the length along the passenger side and center counsel area and always have the seat moved as far forward as possible. Anyhow, great build. My set up is a basic mattress in the back of my 21 Subi Crosstrek. 🙏⚓️☀️🤠
The biggest problem in a 2 dr is how to get adequate sleeping length inside and still have enough clearance below the sound bar. Here's an idea, fold the passenger seat flat to make a 6-4 bed.. The rear storage platform height would match the folded seat height. How come no one else has done this! I guess I'll have to make a video. 😄
@@GetLostAdventures yeah, just got to do trial and error on the support legs to get the plywood flush on top with the jeeps edge. It's the perfect setup for what I want. even without using it as a sleeper. its a good way to get double storage in the back!!! I think I migh add some pull out drawers or maybe two pull out tub type things for for underneath. Also, i'd have to extend the two small top pieces to go up inbetween the front seats so I could actually fit my legs in when I lay down. i'm 6 foot 1. haha again. thanks for this amazing video and idea. saves me the hassle of doing a rooftop tent!
Yeah definitely beats the price of a rtt for sure and I also plan on putting drawers back there so keep an eye out for that if you don’t do yours first! And thanks for the support I’m glad you found the channel!
I have a TJ that I’m working on to do the same thing but it’s ma and the dog . I’m thinking of taking out the front passenger seat for more room to lay down . I like your idea I would make drawers for the space below to be able to got to things I need .
I'm 6-2 and sleep in mine quite comfortably.. the secret is to have a passenger seat that folds flat.. makes a 74" bed, inside! You need the storage platform to be the same height. The other point, the sound bar is annoyingly low for turning over or moving about when the sleeping platform is that high.
Not to be a criticism, but rather a clarification; please correct me if I'm wrong. I think you meant to say "I sleep [diagonally]" (not "vertically" -- otherwise you'd be sleeping standing up). And, while you're positioned diagonally, you're horizontal. Hey, I flunked algebra, so I'm not perfect. Sweet build, none-the-less.
Not sure if you’ll see this since the vid has been out a while, but would love to know if the main 1/2” board is one solid piece or 2 with the carpet stretching across for a single appearance? If the main deck board is 1, how did you get it in and still sit under the lip on the sides? Please and thank you.
This is awesome. I have been looking for a buildout for roadtrips with my pups. This works perfectly. Now to get someone to build it for me (I'm sure I could figure it out but I don't have the time or tools). If you're ever in Key West and want a "job" of building one, let me know.
Automatic subscribe! I have a 07 Jeep wrangler sahara 2 door and I plan on living in it,so this is perfect! I hope that you show the dimensions, ect on this!
Vertically? lol If you're 6-0 or more, this won't work. I tried it using the same platform height. Was like a sardine under the sound bar. You need to fold the seat flat.
