My V1.0 Bronco Bunk Sleep Platform (4dr seat delete)

[jakej]

I recently finished my initial "Bronco Bunk" and getting ready to test it out with some overland camping. Basic design is:
- Center beam: trimmed 4"x6" anchored over seat-post bolts
- Fold-up platforms: high-quality 1/2" plywood, with "take-apart" hinges for easy removal
- Flip-up/down leg posts to provide storage area behind front seat
- Finished with 6'x8' stock carpet and padding from Home Depot

I may refine a bit after using some, and still need to figure out best way for extra padding for sleeping on (narrower 42" cargo area makes blow-up mattresses poor option).

Thanks to Desert_Brush, Trigger and others for ideas and inspiration.

Very late reply to your platform post... For some reason I missed it and just saw it when searching again. I like your layout. Looks very much like what I want to build, when it stops raining...

Have you had a chance to sleep on it much? Any thoughts on changes you might make if you had to do it again?

I haven't used it as much as I wanted (hope to this summer!), but it is working out well. Decided to go with camping blow-up mats for padding.
