Show us your truck bed sleeping platform/drawer/storage systems

Man that's an awesome setup!

 

Great set up, I want to build my platform split with a slider on one side as well.

 

Got out this weekend for the first time. This is the ARE 26-32. More then enough room to sit up comfortably with a 12” platform.

 

You've got good taste. Nice rig (I also have a black access cab). Was looking on the ARE site and that shell doesn't come up. Is it only available in Canada? Also is it insulated or is there an option to have it lined from the factory? Again, super impressed with your setup.

 

ARE’s website is terrible to navigate. It’s under their commercial line. Definitely available in the US.

mine is insulated, but I did the work myself.

 

This looks great from the outside... Any inside pics?

 

This was super helpful, thanks! One thing I was thinking about is your back door. I see you chose to delete the tailgate which I like. I have a sleeping platform and large drawer and wonder if I need to choose the rear door that keeps the tailgate as part of it or if I could get away with getting one like yours. Any chance you know the measurement of space when your doors are open?

This is what I have (I have an ARE MX series shell on it now) There is about 2-3 inches on both sides of the drawer front that could be trimmed to be flush with the side of the actual drawer.. Wonder if I could still open my drawer with the rear door you have....

 

Doors start 6 1/2" from the bedside, and the door opening is 42" (measured along the tailgate opening).

 

Love the one deep drawer, what’s the depth?

 

There’s quite a few of the build earlier in this thread.

If you click the little arrows just to the lower right of this post it will take you to my previous posts.

 

That hatch is my favorite thing ever.

No. Really, like, ever.

 

thanks, man. The inner dimensions are 12" deep and 38.5" wide and it runs the length of my 6' bed.

 

Nice I d love to make that set up. Need to get on it.

 

Can I still join the cool kids club if I’m in the cab instead?

 

I have to ask, what’s in the bed?

 

Nothing... soon to be mountain bikes.

 

I have to ask, do you actually sleep in the cab?

 

Why else would be rip the seats out and build a bed in there?

 

I'm more interested in the how than the why.

 

Same way peeps sleep in an SUV I would presume. Open the back door, sit down, pull feet in, close door, lay down?
