I recently took dimensions and made a Sketchup diagram. Let me know if you want it. This was a couple hour build - no time at all, and I only had 3 days to get something set up for a weekend trip. Super easy, maybe 30.00 in materials (less if you have em laying around in your garage).
Yes, there are a few air mattresses out there for the back of JKU's. My experience with air mattresses is that eventually they leak. Further, in different elevations they deflate as well. While its a great compact solution, for me comfort is more important and the memory foam works well for...
Wow! Thats awesome! That's a great solution to retaining the folding seats! Lots of inspiration for V2.0! Thanks for sharing the link!

Thank you for the question! Yes, The platform butts up to the head rests of the folded back seat(s). One thing about the JKU rear seats is that they don't fold completely flat, so as there is storage underneath (its 4"), it wouldn't be by design if the seats were flat when folded. I do lose...
Hey There!
Adding to my Jeep Sleeping Platform post, I created DIY Window Ventilation for my Jeep JKU.
Here's how I did it!
I saw a couple of years ago a post someone from Germany made about sleeping in his Jeep. He showed some rear window vents that he ordered in Germany. They're quality...
Hey all!
Just thought I'd post a couple pics of the sleeping platform I made (V1.0) for my 2010 Jeep JKU Rubicon.
I don't have a RTT or Trailer - or even a Tent for that matter, and was invited to a weekend trip to Superior National Forest in Northern MN. I had 3 days to prepare for the trip...
Curious, have you considered maybe a futon styled bed? Fold it up for a couch when not sleeping... Would give room for packing supplies and a hang out rather than bed for rainy days.
Love this thread, been considering a cargo trailer conversion myself.
Last, are you keeping things modular...
Hey All,
I'm very interested in purchasing an enclosed cargo trailer for overland/off road conversion.
For those of you who have gone this route, could you post pictures/build thread and other insight regarding this?
Have seen a few on the internet that were perfect platforms for...
Awesome!
I have seen a version of temp flaps that utilized a box (square stock) mounting receiver like part that bolted to a portion of the frame or near that behind the rear wheel. The flap part was square steel secured by a pin of sorts for easy removal and break away capability. Was...
LOL
The route etc. has the funding. SHOULD be good to go. The MN4WDA and DNR were MANDATED to put together the route, plan, etc. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/input/mgmtplans/touring/index.html
Just a matter of time and that one county from what I've heard. As I said, Minnesota Overlanders is...
B2B IS moving forward.
Bryan from Minnesota Overlanders here - We're assisting MN4WDA with planning, clearing, signing, and establishing route. There are meetings to be held in the future - Planned opening in 2019. More to go, and yes, one county along the route has blocked the proposed...
Hey all, Just curious - is there a graphical "badge" that can be displayed on a website? JPG or something? Tried a search but really not sure how to word the question/search... Sorry - a little off topic.
Hey all! Just joined OB today.
