Will the bed be mounted at that "Uphill" angle? Or will the rear half pivot up to adjust for the angle that the jeep is parked on? Cool build

Thanks, it's pretty level. Took a lot of video footage and just beginning to edit that. Video of the build coming in a few days!
Here are pics of the completed bed platform. I took a lot of video footage and will be editing it and posting a video soon!

Ooooo interesting idea! Haven't seen something setup like that before. I'll have to keep an eye out for the video, curious to see how it functions.
Definitely interesting bed set up...look forward to the video. Love the new drawer slides. Jade is looking great Jake.
Oh yea. You're going to love having a fridge. Single best addition hands down. Refrigeration is what separates us from the animals!!
I'm wondering, now you're "two up", if something like this might be an option - (watch from 0:00 to 6:15) You could give something like that a try through a rental company like this one http://www.rentoffthegrid.com although theirs are a little bigger than the Oregon Trail'r.
Maybe a go-fund-me project.
Or, a do-it-yourself project like this

I'm also not sold on the roof top tents (if that's a better option), but I've been thinking about renting one of the Tepui tents through Tepui to see if it's something that would be a good option.

Idk I'm thinking more along the lines of a frame and body stretch. I think jade would look sexy cause who wouldn't love a 4 door cj

Love your videos, I have been following since the beginning
I thought sleeping in a short bed pickup was hard.
A sleeping bag fits diagonally my set up is similar to except in an Isuzu at35.

Jake,
I saw the video on YouTube last night. I liked the enthusiasm from both of you as you set off on this next phase of your adventure. I'm curious though, why not go with a roof top tent (or similar) and use the back of Jade for 100% storage? I would think that would be much more comfortable for two plus the dog.

I needed to get a better sleeping situation quick. I'm not ruling out a RTT, but I will be getting a trailer and see how things progress from there. Thank you!
I was walking through an outdoor store a few weeks ago, and I came across this:
Glamping by cobblecrazy, on Flickr
Now I know this would be much harder when doing the side of the road, or stealth, camping, but in most of the dispersed camping spots I don't see why this could not be a quick - happy significant other - setup (I found a queen sized inflatable bed on sale for under $10).
I've slept in snow trenches, foxholes, reclined on my motorcycle, and a variety of other not so luxurious spots. Regardless of gender, most people can make due with just about anything, but it seems there is a change when you have to co-habitate. Life becomes so much more pleasant when you're greeted by a smile rather than the under eye bags after a sleepless night.
