Had to cut our trip short by a few days due to work-related things, but we still had a great 9-day trip up to Shenandoah NP last week!
I will have to get pictures of the final additions/camping modifications that were added before the trip. But to sum them up with the few pictures I have: I swapped out the big/long case on top for two shorter black cases by Plano that have locks built-in and moved my Maxtrax to the front of the rack. Added our exterior shower/bathroom room to the passenger side of the rack (will get pictures), and added a nice, cheap set oflaser guns ditch lights from Amazon with an OEM-esque switch to replace one of the blanks (will get pictures). I hope you all get a laugh at the Engrish on the Chinese-made ditch lights. I sure did. I also did a very simple fold-down table set up as well as a simple pull-cable for opening the rear hatch from inside.
My platform worked well, though it was a bit tall with all the seats still in the vehicle. It slept fine and the mattress I got for it fit perfectly, though we were unable to sit up straight when in bed. I do not have pictures yet, but I finished all the edges with aluminum corners as well. All in on the interior is about $120 for materials including glue, carpeting, sheet goods, and dimensional lumber.
I will get more images and speak more to my design when I do upload the images for referencing. For now, our 2,200-mile road trip to Virginia went swimmingly and the rig held up nicely.
