    Sorry for the delayed pics. Been busy with filming and traveling. Cell signal is almost non existent where I’m at.

    Yes the seats are still there. I modified the front passenger seat to fold flat.

    I remove the platform, fold the front and rear seats back up and done. Takes about 1 minute.

    My platform folds so it fits inside the short CM bed.

    My goal was to have a fully functional normal cab for seating, but have it also be capable to be a sleeper. Sleeping platform is close to 7ft.

    Here’s Hoggy in a nutshell.

    Nice! How did you get the front seat to lay flat?

    Nice going ! Looks like a great way to utilize all that real estate in the back seat. Still can't get by the short bed though....
    A couple pics without the sheets on there would be helpful if you find the time.

    I used parts from my seat and some from a sequoia fold flat seat.

    Sorry I forgot to get pics in the truck. It still looks rough as this is still just a prototype. It has 6” legs for the rear that’s not pictured.

    The aft folding section is narrowed to fit so the 60% portion of the seat can stay upright.

    Awesome mod! Looks very warm, roomy and comfy.

    Only problem is now you won't get to spend thousands on a rootop tent, install a permanent rack, upgrade your suspension or look like an "overlander" :rolleyes:

    This past week I slept in the driver seat. With Seat Jackers installed it was very comfy but even with a little buddy heater it was cold. I even had a USB fan circulating the heat but couldn't get it warm enough down by my feet. Inspired by this post I figured let's see if a folding table will fit.

    A 2'x4' folding table:

    Legs fit perfectly up front:

    Will probably use my fridge to make up the rest of the platform and put my foam mattress on top:

    Now I can eat and then sleep :D Thanks for the idea!

    Nice! I initially had the same idea regarding using a folding table. Problem I ran into was finding a 2ft x 6ft table. I wanted to stay at 2ft wide so I could still open the center console, and under 6.5ft to have access to the glove boxes.

    Using a fridge with a bit of platform on top is a great idea.

    Cruzer,

    Here’s a few pics you might find interesting. The fold flat seat can be found in some single cab tundras and SR5 trim sequoia’s. Very hard to find at a junkyard! Took me 2 years to find one. Eventually I just used the seat back portion from the old sequoia seat. It was in pretty rough shape.

    Before that I just reclined the original seat like you did. Platform had longer legs in the rear and it had legs on the front back then. I like the extra ceiling height now but looking back I don’t know if I’d go through the hassle again.[/QUOTE]

    That’s dope. I’m trying to keep it simple. I was able to get both table legs down by raising the seat back up just a little bit. So now my “tabed” :cool: is much more solid :rofl:
