Built a platform for the rear jump seats of my access cab!

Gotta do this myself someday.

 

Great idea!! If I had to get a newer tacoma, that's exactly what I would do for my fur babies. That's one of the things I love about my '08 - the platform when the seats are folded down.

 

Looks good man, rep for you and the puppy...

 

Nice work !

 

That looks great! My AC has the big stupid subwoofer between the seats.

 

Here are some pics of my border collie in the back! (Will post demension tonight)...and try to write up a DIY

 

I, too, have the subwoofer to work around but I can do a cutout for that.

OP, what did you do with the rear center console that rises higher than the seats. Is the top of the console your center mounting point for the platform?

 

correct, and the platform also rest on the plastic pieces that attach to where the seats fold up. It lines up perfect. Make sure to line the bottom of the platfrom with something to keep from scratching the center console (if you care)...I'll draw up a diagram tonight!

 

How did you get a Border Collie to sit still for that long???

 

She is SO well behaved. I run her for about 1 hour in the morning (she plays frisbee like a pro) and another hour when I get home. They are such good dogs! BUT, she's gun shy and no goog at retrieving ducks! Maybe i'll get a lab too!

 

That's the trick - dogs need exercise, or they turn into little monsters My buddy had a border collie that used to jump his 6 ft fence to roam the neighborhood because he never made time to exercise her.

Love the puppy head tilt for each picture.

 

All you have to do is say her name, and it's gets her attention. They are so attentive!

 

So true.
My German Shepherds are the same way. Its like they are listening to every word you say, trying to pick out words they know.

Anyhow, back on topic.

 

Same here

 

Sorry guys...had a crazy night last night....will post demensions tonight!

 

I actually did this same thing several months ago, and have used it on over 9000 miles of road trip literally packed to the ceiling with junk. It is a HUGE functional improvement for me over the factory configuration, but my design is a little different.

I have been planning to post it for a while, just have been lazy. I'll try and take some pictures.

Yours looks pretty nice, BlackSand, and yours still has the use of the back seats (mine does not).

 

pretty creative idea. Nice dog too

 

Great job. Looking forward to dimensions
