Few more. The length is great but I had to place a piece of plywood where the second row footwell is. I could have straddled the passenger wheel hump if I didn't have my water brick mount there.

Thanks, its a fit. I know its long legged but a wooden platform + air mattress is almost as high.
I really appreciate your taking the time to set it up and take some pics. As soon as I get home
I'm going to order one of these up.
 
It looks like you could make a couple of extensions for those legs pretty easy.
Yeah, I took an old rear seat back and stripped all the stuffing off it and then removed the seat bottom so the seat back lays forward
and is still there. I use the empty space as storage for longer implements, tarp poles, axes, booster cable etc. Stuff that is awkward, a
bit dangerous to have laying around. This cot is perfect, super light to lift and I plan to 'hook' it to the side to restrict it moving around.
Should be able to travel with the bed made, minimal weight. Two thumbs up!
 
Good one! 36x7x4 is a pretty efficient pack profile for a cot this large. I roll with a family of 4 so space is premium!

I use the same in a 1 person tent. Works great. Super compact.
I think mine is made by Byer of Maine. Got it at LL Bean on sale.

ORDERED! Ibex Roll-a-Cot, Now FREE Custom Air Mattress

There is a short term offer online. These Ibex model cots have two layers so a air pad can be inserted
between the layers. FREE air pad included for short term offer. I also ordered the table with adjustable
legs, so it can set up easily on uneven ground. The table legs adjust in 1" increments individually making
it infinitely adjustable on even the most difficult sloping area.
I will post pics once I get them. I have acquired a rear drawer box from a fellow MUD member in Vancouver,
and at 10" height they will position forward under the cot, the cot should straddle the wheel wells and I should
be perfectly set up for travel. Pics to follow.

Link? I looked and couldn't find it.
 
Here is the Camp Time cot in the back of my BJ74 and HT60. I ordered the shorter version of the cot, and it's
extremely well made. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend. I also got the roll-a-table with adjustable legs.
It is really well made. Both are well worth the money.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I ordered a pair of the Roll A Cots from Camp Time. I called to ask a couple questions and the guy who picked up, Dave, has been the engineer for their products for like thirty years. Really nice guy. Felt good to support. Funny enough, I've had their Roll A Table for years, and it's in my opinion the best fold up table on the market.
 
Need to take a better look at something like this. Current "Costco" cots have pissed me off for the last time as they just are not space saving and decided to put a tear in my headliner this weekend. This is basically what we are running currently, they take up A LOT of space and are not stackable or efficient in any form of the words.

Would love something like the Wide Roll-a-Cot like everyone is getting but really to stingy for that. Wife is 5' on a good day and I am 6' for need something longer for me where my feet don't hang off, standard works just fine for her, wider would be preferable as we are both normally stomach or side sleepers.

Due to work and everything we are down to camping about 4 or 5 times a year, max is about 7 days with most being long weekend trips at 4 days. Currently, I can pack just about everything in the Land Cruiser but if the dogs are coming with us then we have to take two vehicles (one with most dogs). Would love to have something that packs a bit smaller, cot wise, and inflatable air mattresses to go with them would be nice but not necessary are we normally take lots of blankets to lay down under sleeping bags.

I have a couple of REI Kingdom Cot 3 which appear to be rebranded Bushtec cots... quite comfortable but, yes, quite bulky when folded for transport & storage.

Yeah my tent alone takes up enough room as-is, so any other room that I can save now would be much appreciated. Especially on the trips where it is just the wife and I, being able to see out the back would be incredible. I will take some pics tonight to give an example.
