Platz-Form - Platforms for Double Cab Tacomas (Full & Half Length)

Good Afternoon! I am happy to announce that we have finally gotten the second batch of platforms complete and ready to ship, along with a new size! I will be updating the website later this evening or first thing tomorrow to get them officially back in stock and the new size available.

There is one small caveat though; I am running low on supply on the locks so will have limited availability until the next batch of those is finished. I just cant catch a break in this new economy where everything is harder to find, lead times longer, and getting more expensive, haha. The next batch of locks is underway though so this will only be a temporary issue. I am only saying this because I will likely have a dynamic "in stock" situation on the website for now, meaning limited quantities of each size will be available but if one size sells out and the other sizes have not, I will update accordingly until I am out of locks. So if you see that a certain size you are looking for is "out of stock" just DM me and I will update that so your order can go through. Sorry for this weird situation but the locks are the limiting factor here so the first shipments will be first come first serve of any size platform until I am out of locks, then once the new batch of locks is in, the remainder of the platforms will be back "in stock". Hope all that makes sense.

The new size is the 40% platform. This platform covers the single seat directly behind the drivers seat. This platform will be useful for people with kids in car seats so they can remain behind the passenger seat and in sight, as well as for people who would like to retain 2 open seats, and only need a little platform area for pets, coolers, small amounts of gear, etc.
*Note: In my picture of the 40%, there is a little visible gap between the platform and the seat where you can see behind the seat a little, this is only due to me having the CNC molle panel behind my rear seats in place of the cubbies, which gives more room. If you have the factory cubbies in place, that gap will not be visible*

Thanks to everyone who has purchased a platform already, and anyone who has been active on the thread with questions, suggestions, and ideas. I am excited to have this next batch (for the most part) ready to go!

 

Been waiting for something like this product! Took out my seats and have been waiting for lumber prices to go down. These are a great price point. I may need to reinstall some latches to make it work but it should be fine.

 

The size/geometry of these are designed to work WITH seats installed. You simply fold them down and this platform sits on top of the folded seats. If you have removed your seats, these platforms will not work.

 

Ahh okay I didn’t see that. Well if you ever make an extended version for seat delete keep me updated!

 

It is definitely on my radar, you are not the only person that has asked about a seat delete option. So it's likely coming, I just cant say how soon.

 

has anyone mounted some anchors to theirs so they can strap down their fridge ?

 

Seat delete version plz!
Now take my money damnit

 

Not yet! But its next up on my to do list!

 

Will say, one of my favorite mods!

 

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Wanted to make a quick post and let everyone know the next batch (including the new 40% platforms) are live on the website ready for shipping! I also created a discounted package deal if ordering both the 60% and 40% together!

Let me know if there are any questions! Have a great rest of yalls weekend!!!

 

Any thoughts on making a longer version that spans the length of the removed seats? Attached a picture for reference. I have two 65lbs dogs that would love the additional space.

One dog occasionally gets car sick, so additionally having side walls on hinges that could fold up and rest on the side of the side arm rests to create a bathtub style deck would be amazing as well.

I'd purchase this from you in a heart beat!

 

Currently no plans for an extended length model, I do have plans for a full seat delete platform the would make it sit deeper as well as longer but there is no ETA on that yet, still early in that process.

 

I have one of these on top of the platz-form. Works pretty well

Took the dogs out to grab some pizza the other night. Not gonna lie, I was pretty nervous taking this pic, but the pizza survived!

 

These look sweet! Do you have any pics of both the 60 and 40 installed at the same time? I like the flexibility of having 2 pieces but don’t want my dog to possibly get pinched in the gap.

Thanks!

 

I dont actually! I will take some pictures tomorrow and get them posted up!

 

So I went out and put both the 60% and the 40% in the truck to take some pictures of it, and upon installation I noticed that the back panel of the 40% platform is 3/4" taller than the 60%. Our manufacturer made a mistake and cut the 60% and the 100% both 3/4" short on the back panel. It's not enough to affect fit/function, this message is specific to those who would want to run both the 40% and the 60% at the same time as there would be a difference in height on the back panel of those two pieces, purely an aesthetic thing. I have already contacted our manufacturer and got a new order placed to get this corrected so this message is strictly for those thinking of doing the combo. The current options would be to either wait until the new set comes in (I will hopefully have an ETA on that this week), or if the height difference doesnt bother you, then I have stock ready to ship.

***If you want ONLY the 60% or ONLY the 40%, this issue will have no affect on you, both platforms fit and function the exact same, one just has 3/4" extra material up top. ***

 

I will take pictures of them installed tomorrow so everyone can see the minor difference in height and decide if it doesnt bother you, or if you'd like to wait until the new set comes in to have them flush.

 

This is interesting. As someone who wants a seat delete but doesn't want to commit to losing the seats full time for that "just in case I need em one day" anxiety, this seems like a good option.

Would have been amazing if they folded up with the seat for storage but I see why that's an issue.

I couldn't tell from the photos, are the hinges plastic or metal? Do the pop locks rattle/allow the vertical portion to move around at all or is it pretty firm (thinking noise/off road etc)?

Since it's abs I suppose we could drill a couple holes in the seated portion, back it with a couple metal plates and screw in some anchors for heavy gear or a fridge too.

Cool stuff. Definitely considering, hows shipping to Canada?
