I reconfigured the sleeping platform from my 5 gen 4 Runner to my JLUR and for the most part it worked pretty well. I use the same setup with 3 Plano sportsman’s boxes under rear section of the platform. This all fits nicely and every part of the platform will fit behind the seats when they are up. With the front sections in place and the seats slid all the way forward and tilted as far forward as they will go this gives 6 feet of deck space. The front portions of the deck rest on top of the center console and butt up to the back of the front seats. The biggest complaint I have and it seems pretty common is that unless you are 5’10 or under you are not going to be able to really stretch out. Today when I was trying to figure out how to make the seat tip further forward to gain a couple of inch,s
I realized I was going at it the wrong way. I pulled the headrests off the front seat and pushed them all the way forward and then fully reclined them.It worked out perfectly, the seat back sat at exactly the same level as the top of the console and would allow a deck to extend as far forward as you cared to build it. I am going to extend my front folding sections about 4 inches, that will give me a platform that is 6’4 long and 52 inch’s wide for most of it’s length. If you needed it to be longer there is at least another foot to work with. I will post a couple of cellphone pictures.
