At this last minute, I found myself needing to take my high school age son and 3 of his friends on an overnight trip. It wasn't a normal overnight camping trip, but one where they would all participate in in a 24 hour continuous trail run/relay race through the mountains outside of San Diego...
Used this a few times but sleeping in the vehicle is not my vibe (die-hard tent user here).
Built roughly according to this manual which I purchased (included an additional extension on piano hinge for longer sleeping area)...
Any other DIY'ers want to share their ideas/solutions for sleeping platforms?
This is what I came up with, note that the fridge slide/drawer have replaced the 3rd row, and are mounted on a carpeted piece of sealed plywood. This was mounted to the floor using existing holes, scrap sealed plywood...

I’m laying here on a HEST Foamie and it’s okay, but not great. So I’m wondering what y’all use to sleep inside your cruisers.

I saw this today in a tech feed I get: Pacific Adventure Works- Built in Santa Cruz, CA - https://pacificadventureworks.com/ . They're making portable sleeping platforms for SUVs. All of the pics on their site feature an FJ60. I'm wondering what the price will be but it looks pretty good. And it...
Hey everyone. Has anyone purchased one of these?
1984 Toyota Land Cruiser Air Mattress - AirBedz (etrailer.com)
It says it will fit but I can't find any pictures online of someone using it in their 60/62. If anyone could comment on size and weather it will fit two medium sized adults that...
I want to say that I have had very few original ideas for my build. This forum has been a wealth of information. I will recap a few of the things I have done to my land cruiser but most of those ideas can be searched. I have also posted a few other times on individual projects. Search my user...
So I want to start experience going out and camping in my LC100. I dont want to spend a lot in drawers or sleeping platform until I'm sure about the route I'm going. I figured I can measure and cut a set of plastic shelves(Lowes) to match the height of the folded back seats (around 10.25")

Looking to sleep 2 in the back or at least be able to jump back there if storms roll up while tent camping. I'm looking for ideas on drawer system / sleeping platform. My double intex inflatable mattress fits nicely over top of the wheelwell humps so I really am thinking about just building to...
We are in the process of setting up the FJ60 for sleeping. Sometimes a tent is just too much trouble.
Platforms and drawers are popular but this is going to be basic. Partly because I want to be able to sit up. Both of us are tall and neither of us are as flexible as we used to be. Having...
