Picked up my 97 as a project, but it has kind of turned into a full time situation for a few months. Thought i would post what ive found that works for me so far.
I removed the 2nd and 3rd row seats. I searched around for a small futon sofa that would fit. Found the perfect fit at IKEA. It slides in and fits perfectly. It has a small base that allows for underneath storage. The legs stop short of the elevation change behind the front seats. I bought several long plastic bins to store food and another for clothing. My grizzly cooler slides in perfectly. I would like to upgrade to a nice platform storage setup with a nice roof top tent at some point, but for now this will have to do. Just thought i would share my setup in case it helps. The height of the futon in the flat position provides a nice panoramic view. Make sure that you have tint on the windows and you are all set...The futon was $139 if i remember correctly. Good luck!
