idear...

How about a flat piece of ply' with wings that fold out from flat and then the wood would hit at a 90 degree angle and then that piece could hinge back on to the plywood.. I'll scan a pic.

I've got the best wife ever! A strategically sent "hint hint" email before fathers day netted me a pair of sliders from Savage Offroad! Installed them yesterday, along with 1" wheel spacers for the front wheels to get them to stop rubbing the upper control arm. Then I also started building a sleeping platform in the back. It allows us to sleep above the wheel wells so we have more room and can store stuff underneath us in case of rain. I'm only halfway done with it but it will get tested out this weekend. The Runner looks soooo much better with the sliders rather than the stock running boards!
removal of stockers....

paint...like my sawhorse?? I was debating on powder coating but instead opted for some expensive 'hammered finish' spray paint. That way I can do easy touchups.

Sleeping platform with the seats folded up.

This is what I have to finish, I need another piece of wood so that there isn't a big gap once the seats are folded down. At the moment we will just cram clothes and stuff there and the airmattress will have to float over the folded down seats.

Jesse there are 2 heavy pieces of plywood on the side of my house you are welcome to if they will help. 3/4" X 51" X 62" . Custom size from a restaurant sign. 2 identical pieces. Wider than the usual 4X8 stock.

I don't know if my scribble helps...

Sliders should be called Excuse Bars. You know...? I'm surprised excuse bars haven't been outlawed for their damaging effects on local rocks. ;p

Hmmmm, the 48" works good for the 4runner but if I ever did one for the pig it would need to be wider....I may come grab it one of these days. You can never have enough big wood!

Here is a thread that may help you with that storage shelf / sleeping platform you are building: https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/83420-storage-solutions.html

FJ Cruiser bed I made for a friend.

The rear panel opens up to access storage area underneath. The fron panels open from the sides into the middle for more storage. The extension is tabbed and has feet that you add on another 12" behind the seats. I can lay down in it comfortably. I am 6'2"
