Very nice. I just bought a 4runner this week and these are good ideas for me to consider before going camping. Thank you ❤

Awesome! I’d highly recommend building something like this. It really utilizes the maximum amount of space in your 4Runner

Bro this is exactly what I’m looking to build!! A few questions for you if you don’t mind: 1) with the back seats up, is your drawer system and yeti cooler still fully functional and accessible? 2) how’re you liking the build? 3) could you share your build plans?

The yeti still fits in the 4Runner with the seats up perfectly! I roll around with the platform extended and when I need to carry 4 passengers I pull the extension on top of the box, put the yeti cooler on top of it and we are good to go. The system worked out better than I even imagined it would and don’t think I’ll be going back. It’s really nice to have the extra organized storage and there’s still a ton of room to haul gear in the back of the truck. Unfortunately I do not have any official plans for this build but check your email for some example photos and I’ll try to help the best I can. Thanks for your support!

@@SeizeTheAdventure super helpful!! I’ll check out the email and fire back a few questions as I draw up a rough blue print

Amazing. Exactly my thought. Got all the materials for my own DIY build today and came across your video this evening. I thought of doing a height of 9" overall and for the sides I am thinking of plywood instead of the lumber. However, 1x6 is a good idea too. Wish you had covered the rest of build too. My dimensions are 43x37 for the top and 41x37 for the actual box. Planning to do 3/4 plywood sides. I see that you put screws on the joints. Are they strong enough? I am thinking of pocket holes. The interesting part is that I have never done carpentry in my life and this is going to be my first project. Got myself Bosch Jigsaw and the Ryobi Circular saw today. Doing the necessary calculations for the cuts tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I can make a more detailed video if this is something you are interested in! The box is so incredibly strong I’ve had a variety of heavy stuff on this thing and it’s in the same condition as the day I built it! Absolutely love it and highly recommend to any 4Runner owners.

Nice build. You might want to put in some d rings to anchor the cooler

Really enjoying it so far! Would highly recommend it.

Exactly what I need! Solid build bro. You have the measurements? Thanks

I recall some measurements in the video during a voice over. Check that out! thanks for watching

Do you by chance remember the measurements

Have you laid on it? Do two people have enough room there with their knees bent? It's tight without removing the seat bottoms.

I have laid on it and loaded hundreds of pounds of camping/ski gear plus dogs, coolers, etc. it has held up very well. I will agree that the length isn’t ideal for the tallest person. I fit pretty well with my pillow propped up on the seat back and have slept in the 4Runner before the platform was installed and it works for a night in a pinch.
