Nice work! I like the latches holding on the front half of the sleeping platform. I'm about to start my own build, and may steal that idea! :ylsmoke:

Mike,
Great work! I am always amazed at the amount of space there is in these little 4Runners. I am 6'6" and with the front seat pushed up all the way, I fit just fine. My wife is 5'6" and doesn't have nearly the trouble.

Here is a shot of my 4Runner with my homemade storage system, basically plywood with corner brackets for support and covered with outdoor carpet and angle aluminum to hide the rough finish of the wood. The flat platform section next to the fridge is hinged in the middle and lifts up to store my tent, stove and misc. camping items.

Those that hang out in the 80s section on MUD may have already seen the build thread but thought some here might be interested. I wanted storage but also a place to install subwoofers. The thread also covers the inverter and third amp installs. The pics cover all the various versions:
The first attempt.
I don't like drawers, I use plastic bins that can be removed and stored with gear intact...
Current version with drop down for better fridge access (with slide added)...
Room under the fridge for 2 - 20L Scepter water cans
The front section houses 2 -10" subwoofers and amp.
It sits high enough to make a sleep platform when the center seats back are folded down but so far I have not needed to build it.
I am considering an entirely new design to be built this spring that will require the center row seats to be removed.
(not used now that my son has his own rig :victory: )

Just finished a unit for my SWB Pajero. I prefer to use plastic boxes for storage rather than drawers but at the same time a SWB doesn't have a lot of space so this is my solution. Bottom left is sized to hold some boxes that I use for cutlery, condiements, dry foods etc. Fridge on the platform above that. Bottom right sized to take my recovery and tool bags and small gas bottle while top right will take stove and other misc items. Field testing on Tues/Wed so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks Bro. It's been fun to build it but I'm not done yet... :smiley_drive:

My FlipPac Interior Storage Solution
Here's what I built
From this:
Note the C-channel aluminum
To this:
The entire upper area can now be used for storage, and I have also added a new Engel fridge slide
The table on top of the fridge is now plated with galvanized steel sheeting so I can cook inside in inclement weather if need be, and I added eye bolt tie downs all around so I can secure chairs and other light camp gear on the decks.
My chairs fit perfectly here
The deck doubles as a shelf when slid out for kitchen use, and I plan to use the eye bolts as attachment points for the deck to double as a table when attached to the swingout... stay tuned :ylsmoke:
