Update:
The Hanna Left and Right Wheel Well Storage can be purchased separately if you do not need the sleeping platform. PM for more info.
This is a combination of 2 storage baskets that fit over the wheel wells (similar to Luke's 3rd row seat racks-$495 pair) in place of the 3rd row seats. These are very heavy duty welded construction from another well known fabricator who used to build them 5-10 years ago, and they are constructed in a manner to use existing bolt holes already in place in the back of the 80 series. I have built a metal square tube reinforced baltic birch panel that bridges across the storage baskets and that can be dropped to the floor for large object cargo capacity, or lifted up and tightened in place as a permanent or semi permanent shelf kit that can slept on, also serving to create storage underneath the shelves. In the raised position, it is the same height as the folded down rear seat backs, and two persons can comfortably sleep on this configuration. I have used high quality auto carpet to match the oak carpeting on the 80 series, and I have installed 6 tie down points that are routed/inset into the baltic birch panel for a flat surface. I will include one detachable tie down insert so that the purchaser can buy more of the same type if needed. The bridge panel also has baltic birch legs that drop down to support the panel while lifting it into the high position, and the metal square tube reinforcement ensures that the bridge panel will not sag. This carpet is also very clean- it's just the way the light is hitting it that makes it look like there are marks on the carpet.
This whole set up probably weighs 160 lbs and is very solid. I can deliver within two hours of Stafford Virginia, and I am also driving to Myrtle Beach SC from northern VA on the 21st of Jan and can meet up along the way. I have a lot of hours and about $300 in high quality materials in this project, as well as $550 for the wheel well storage units, so I think $600 for this setup is a good price for the purchaser.
