Here is the thread to my original writeup with more details and photos to see how it was originally built.
https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/my-custom-sleeping-platform-storage-area.45651/
Basically version 2.0 is the same size platform and support boards as before. Just now it’s 3/4 inch and 2x6’s so it’s beefier and 2 inches taller. I also Raptor lined it this time instead of using speaker carpet. The old one was starting to sag and the speaker carpet was looking really ratty. I also Raptor lined my interior panels as they were all scratched up and wanted everything to match.Finally I Raptor lined the lids of my bins so they are no longer yellow and it matches everything better.
I love this new setup so far. It looks great and that 2 plus inches of storage (it was sagging) allows me to store a ton more things in there. I can now fit a change of clothes, shoes, 2 gallon water Rotopax, 200w solar panel, 21w solar panel, various solar cables, soft shackles, saw, shovel, tow strap, and other items.
In the sub floor I can access all my tools, tire jack and also added a 20ah / 256 wh battery wired in to my external battery inverter as a companion.
Now when the seats are folded down there is a little dip between the platform and the top of the seat. I just put a folded blanket in there to fill that void. Can’t even notice it when my sleeping pad is on it.
