How's the platform holding up? Did you ever make the other side? Any changes you wish you would have incorporated?

I might be picking my 2 DR WildTrak this weekend, and your DIY platform is my fave.

Cat.
It’s holding up great and allowed me to sleep in the back of my 2 door! (Head to tailgate and feet propped up on the center console between the front seats). I haven’t made the other side yet since I haven’t needed to and really like how my coolers and such stack in that recessed space. Honestly I wouldn’t change a thing about my prototype. Good luck to you!

I was very interested in the Goose Gear half rear seat delete for my 2dr, but ultimately I didn’t want to commit to removing something I couldn’t put back easily. I’ve also enjoyed the plywood platforms I’ve seen a lot of people come up with, but as awesome as they are, they seemed too large and cumbersome for what I needed.

Needs:
1: A platform to level the load floor on the side with my larger dog crate to prevent it from wobbling/falling when my dog moves around.
2: Ability to quickly and easily move it in and out of the Bronco.

Solution:

Plywood dimensions: 3/4” board cut to 20”x18” (they’ll do it for you at many hardware stores)
Marine grade carpet $12
These legs purchased from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3mN7gQY

I used small screws to attach the carpet and keep it tight with no air bubbles. I didn’t use the screws that came with those legs as they would have probably gone through the board.

Took my pups out for some light off roading yesterday and the system worked perfectly! The whole thing cost less than $50. I might make another one for the other side to have a modular set up available.

Happy New Year!
Since this thread resurfaced today I’ll add: hey @Mabett, feel free to use this as a template for a new product and build the second piece for the other side! (Just maybe send me one as compensation yeah?) 😁

Just created this for my bronco. Works like a charm for sleeping in a pinch while winter camping! Gives me (at 5'10") just enough room to lay flat with the lower rear seat cushion removed. 2 bronco bolts to get the lower rear seat cushion out & the rear seat back can lay flush with the platform. Appreciate it!

Just created this for my bronco. Works like a charm for sleeping in a pinch while winter camping! Gives me (at 5'10") just enough room to lay flat with the lower rear seat cushion removed. 2 bronco bolts to get the bottom seat cushion out & the rear seat back can lay flush with the platform. Appreciate it!
Glad it helped! I’ve had mine in the back all year now. Never in the way and frequently very helpful. One of my brighter moments for sure 😁

I see this post has been around awhile, but I'm just finding it. I love this idea! My son recently started playing lacrosse and we've been hanging in the back of the Bronco watching the games, but it's becoming quite uncomfortable. Don't see why I couldn't add not add 5-6" of foam to the top of this? Seems easy enough to give a try, thanks for posting!
