What does your perfect cruiser build look like? THIS is mine. I’ve essentially built the lowest profile flat platform for an 80 out there. It works like a pickup truck bed as a daily, and a roomy sleeping platform for adventure, all while keeping all your essentials stored in the truck, ready to go!
Made from birch ply, 500lbs locking drawer slides, and pocket screw construction. This thing feels like part of the chassis. No squeaks or rattles… essentially monolithic. The l track allows you to tie down anything, anywhere, and hit the trail without anything shifting.
I’ve decided to commission some buildouts for my fellow cruiser heads! I built this setup for our HDJ80 and we have put it through multiple weeks of testing / camping and daily driver abuse and hauling. It has really proven to be something I’m proud of and would love to build for others.
The build thread for mine is here: 1993 HDJ80 Platform DIY build - Camping & Daily Hybrid use - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1993-hdj80-platform-diy-build-camping-daily-hybrid-use.1282795/
Shoot me a message and we can talk ideas, needs, wants, and wishes. These will be custom, one build at a time, so I’m all ears on what would make your dream build!
Cost? I’m not looking to make bank off of the first few builds. I still have some details to work out and things to learn, so a cheaper cost will reflect that: $5000 for the full platform as you see it (no stove… we can design it to accept whatever stove you prefer). $3000 for just the rear drawers if you want to keep your ears installed and don’t need a sleeping platform.
