Mod: Bench Seat Platform

Bench Seat Platform Details:
Inspiration and Credit goes to @jbezorg and his thread

Note: The Double Cab install is vastly different from @jbezorg Access Cab Install. The under seat storage bins are in a different location. The rear is lower then the front by 1-3/4". I used 1/4" spacers in front, 2" spacers in rear. I cut a hole in the storage bins to access/install the nut on the underside to secure the platform to the floor of the cab (using the bin mounting holes).

The platform is made of T-Slot Extruded Aluminum, 2-1.5x1.5, 4-1.5x3
Topped with a board wrapped in carpet that folds up. I currently use it to haul my pups around


The T-Slot Extrutions allow for future proofing the platform, if I decide I want to mount a fridge it'll be easy to mount/secure to the T-Slots, or even install a slide rail



Also removed the back rest. Highly recommend you install sound deadner if you go this route. With the back rest out, you get a lot of road noise, sound proofing it brings it back to how it was before removing the back rest.
Currently waiting for the Molle Panel GB to come through to complete the install. This will be my interior gear organizer for stuff that gets used often, air down/up kits, recovery gear, ect...



The back is mounted to the seat back mount and folds just as the backrest did



The paneling under the platform can be lifted up for more interior storage

@WhiteNemesis Great job and a great post (including source list!). Thank you for sharing this! I'm exploring ideas to make my rear seat area better for hauling all my stuff, and your post was inspirational
