Sleeping in a unlimited (LJ)??

[Metcalf]

Does anyone have pictures of setups to allow sleeping one or two people inside a 2004-2006 Jeep unlimited? I was thinking about having a rear platform that folded or slid forward when both front seats are forward up against the dash. Has anyone done anything like this? I looked at some of the other sleep in a jeep posts but most of these where for one person and removed the front passenger seat. My girlfriend loves to travel but I would have a hard time talking her into that one!

Metcalf,

It would be quite easy as long as there is enough room with both seats forward. Here is my thought:

Remove the back seat.
o Create a platform that extended from the tailgate to the back of the front seat when you recline them as far as you think you ever might making sure it is just barely taller than your center console.
o Then at that location on the platform use large hinges to mount an extension that would fold out to the back of the front seats when they are all the way forward.
o Use fold out legs or some other stop to halt the downward movement of the extension so it does not crush your center console.
o Add nice carpet.
o Now you have an excuse for large drawers under the platform.

Thats kinda what I am thinking....

I would like to retain the rear seat or at least the ability to use it without a ton of changing things around. I really need to be able to carry 4 people and some gear at times....around town and on short trips.

Can someone post a picture of the rear seat installed and both seats folded forward with the back seat folded down. I have an idea I want to illustrate. A 3/4 view from the front or back would work perfect.

Thanks.
