I’m calling this platform V1.0 aka scraptastic. Before I went all out on shelves and a foldable platform I wanted to see how much I like where things are . View attachment 212067

Need to really rework the sleeping platform and look into a better mattress setup , dang one I had leaked and only held air for 3-4 hours . Other than a lack of sleep great weekend out with the little lady . Saw some amazing fall colors , some snow , had great drinks and came up with some clever ideas for platform V.2.0.
The ride quality has improved dramatically getting rid of the airbags , can’t wait to get new shocks on it .

Well umm ya , that’s gonna take some work . Compared to a 285/75r16View attachment 212637View attachment 212638View attachment 212639View attachment 212640

We will see , might just go the easier route and go with a 255/80r17 but I really like the kenda and was really surprised with the performance, the biggest downside is the weight at 66 lbs a piece that’s a lot of rotating mass.

I think with a 1.25” wheel spacer and some aggressive trimming and reworking of the firewall it would work but I don’t feel like going through the effort , to much other crap to do so going with 255/80r17 .View attachment 212694

At 205 a piece the decision was easy View attachment 213076

Very nice job, I want to do same but 2 pieces (I sold off my 3rd row seats), Like your design and execution.

Thank you , I was originally going to go with a single box with long drawers but drawer slides in the 4’ range are like 160$ or more a pair and I didn’t feel like spending 400$+ for the setup .
