I love it. If I lived in an alternate life I would totally want that.

I love it also, now I can keep my gear organized
Looks great, is the sleeper part just supported by the second row seats? and is the plywood 1/2 or 3/4". Eventually I'm going to build something similar, but lower to the floor.

Thank you, yes the sleeper is supported by the second row seats and it's all 1/2. I agree a little lower would be awesome but I am still very happy with the smoothness of the drawers and the quality of the platform.
Pretty cool, I have thought about building something like this but that would allow the use of one of the 3rd row seats as well.

That would be really cool to see
@Kyle Bell and I use Baltic Birch, Grade B/BB. Technically it's plywood, but it's not like what you'll see at Home Depot. It's 13 ply compared to the normal 3-5. We really like that stuff as a building material.
@Espi SERE Looks great! The visual appearance is excellent with those rear quarter window racks. Post up some pics once you get those things fully stocked!

Thank you, and you know it! I had the small forest axe and the American felling axe issued to me and loved them, so decided to stick with the rest of the Gransfors Bruks family
They are great axes!
They kind of become an obsession in their own right! lol..
I have the Small Forest Axe, Scandinavian Forest Axe, and the Hand Hatchet. I haven't used the American Felling Axe, but I bet it's a beast!
I like where you positioned them on your window racks.. Looks great!

I believe it is the standard, although the height is adjustable via the base of the legs. It is at its lowest point right now, I'll have to measure to give you an exact height. Here is the link to the panels Orange Boxx Fabrication | Molle Rack Systems | United States
That's our standard offering bedlined platform with drawers. See links below.

SS1 Drawers — Air Down Gear Up
Full Extension. Lock In, Lock Out. Ball Bearing. These drawers can be added onto the SS1 systems on initial purchase or as an add on later. Sold as individual drawers.

We can do taller or lower on the platform, but the drawers are for the standard 13" offering which lays nicely on the 2nd row seat backs if you go with the sleeper option.

what are the measurement of the drawers?
37x10x18". Dovetail joints, Baltic birch. We have them made to spec by a drawer shop.
Isn't the back end a bit small to be a sleeper? With the second row folded up I only measured something like 5'4'' from the seat to the tailgate, not going to work for 6'2'' me...
The SS1 sleeper lays OVER the second row, giving you a full 6"+ in length (more if you move front seats up). I'm 5'10" and I can leave the front seat in it's fully rear-ward position and sleep comfortably behind it.
Second row folded up is not ideal, so we made sure the SS1 used the second row folded down so your feet/head can go clear up the front seats.
