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

The two sheets of plywood were standard size, 4'X8' (I think).
The two cross beams are 1"X6"X12'.
And the center support was a 2"X10"X8'(I think).
So 4 pieces of wood total.

Or were you wanting the cut measurements? I'll have to measure when I get home, if that's what you're looking for.

 

no thats fine! just trying to get an idea on what sizes to get to make it the most efficient. thanks

 

@Toynado has a cool set up.. Figured it'd go good here.

Sub'd for later

 

Thanks!

 

Anyone have solar panels to go with their truck bed camper? And what are you running off of them?

 

Some nice rigs here!

I have a Renogy 100W panel mounted to my OEM cab roof rack. It goes through a Renogy Rover MPPT controller, then to the factory battery (single battery setup). I have a SnoMaster TR42 fridge mounted in the bed of my truck. The fridge is connected to a 12V outlet I wired and mounted in the cubby next to the inverter. The fridge has been running 24/7 since I guess June. The solar panel keeps the battery charged.

 

Do TRD Pro wheels come in 16's? I seem to only see them in 17-inch.

 

So damn cool. This is the set up I want, when I can afford a fridge.

I've only ever seen them in 17 as well now that I think about it. Are you in the market for some? I know someone who may be selling his.

 

I've been thinking about it. I really like black wheels. Was looking to get SCS Ray10's, but they are never in stock with the size/color I want. Then I saw the black TRD Pro wheels. Those are amazing. However, I kinda want to keep my Cooper ST/Maxx tires since I already spent a ton of money on them (265/75R16). Hence I'm looking for some nice 16" black wheels.

 

Ah I gotcha. That makes the most sense to keep the tires you've already got. Some other wheels I've found that are really nice and similar to SCS is the Icon line of wheels. Only downside is they're a bit more expensive. Discount tire also has some pretty good looking ones as well.

 

Yeah, I've seen them. And Method wheels have similar black wheels.

 

@EatSleepTacos The Level 8 Tracker Pro 6 wheels are pretty damn nice too.

 

Oh those are nice. I've ran other level 8 wheels before and they're pretty good quality.

 

Well I finally redid mine after seeing all of the ones here.
First, I should say I am NOT much of a carpenter.

But I wanted something simple where I could store 12" high bins underneath. Also, some non-stackable heavy items on the bed floor.
For the top I wanted something that would hold a lot of weight &/or me (though would not be able to sit up).
Also, wanted to be able to easily disassemble & lay flat in only a few minutes.
Finally, wanted something that would allow for big bulky things in back of bed & heavy items & bins in front of the bed.

Instead of using the notches for two cross beams, I put a 2x4 on the lip with 3 2x8 cross beams... undo 4 nuts & the rear beam comes off for my outdoor rockers to go in back of the bed .

There are 6 plywood pieces that fit to make the plywood. I wanted to be able to pull up center pieces to get easy access. None of the plywood pieces are bolted down, but I have "shims" underneath to keep them from sliding out of place. As such, can take them right out.

 

p.s. a bit of a tight fit into my garage, especially with an uneven hill going up to it... the slant is from the sharp fall off on the driver's side.

 

I have the OverlandSolar 120W folding kit. Connect it to my 31M battery if stationary for more than a day to keep my SnoMaster fridge/freezer running.

 

Do you feel that the 120 watts is sufficient in keeping your battery topped off with your fridge running 24hr/day?
Or do you give the battery a break at night by turning off the fridge while you sleep and let it just be a "cooler" and fire it back up in the morning?
