Short Bed Sleeping Platform

Ive research TW and saw dimensions for a 3rd gen DC off road long bed platform...Does anyone have a measurements for the short bed? I currently live in the city where i don't have a garage to work out of and would need to pre cut the plywood (3/4?) at my local home depot etc. My Gf and myself would be sleeping in the back so it would need to be sturdy. Any suggestions would help Thank you Tacoma World for the input!

 

Bump

 

Are you looking for just bed dimensions? I would think the thread you saw for a long bed platform would be similar for the short bed, with a few length adjustments.

Looking for what people have done in the past and which designs they like. I like to pick peoples brains and see their ideas. Thank you for the link!

 

Like i said id like ot have measurements that people cut out to make the platform so when i go to home depot they can cut for me since i dont have a garage to work out of.

 

I used a tape measure for mine, the bed dimensions might not take into account the little indents and cutouts that are in the plastic

Pic for reference



you can use those cutouts on either side to base the platform off of like I did, I got everything precut at home depot


This way it can easily be folded over for extra storage and leaves room beneath the platform, in my case for my spare

 

I hope you guys are very short then. I'm 6' and I'm uncomfortable even sleeping diagonally back there.

Also be mindful of the curves and indentures needed toward the tailgate. Just length and width and it won't fit.

Best advise I can give you is to make 2 50/50 split pieces supported by 2x6s where the bed has notches at wheel well height. That way you still have storage space beneath

 

Beat me to it

 

I got a long bed

but this is all good info, I had to take the same factors into account, was still super easy to make

Only thing I changed is I did a 40/60 split so if I need the other side for storage i'll still have a wide enough sleeping platform

EDIT: you beat me to the reply

 

Would this support two people without bowing?

 

Yeah
