GX460 DIY Overland Storage Platform - 3rd Row Seat Removal
In this week’s episode we’re ripping out the 3rd row seats in our GX460 to make room for a camping and overlanding style storage platform. Then we’ll cover how I built a storage and camping platform to anchor our new rear cargo overland style storage system, all for less than $500 bucks.
*CORRECTION*
I said the steel brackets for the front have a 40 degree bend in the video. Should be 35 degree!! I added a .ai sendcutsend.com compatible file. They don’t do m10-1.25 but they offer 1.5 thread.
Stuff I used:
M6 x 16mm $13 - amzn.to/45Hjlef
M6 T-nuts $13 - amzn.to/45MGa02
L-Track (used 2 sets) $80 - amzn.to/3tKORe7
Black Primer $7 - amzn.to/46JmSds
Herculiner Spray can $15 (used 2) - amzn.to/3S8W5m6
Steel for Rear mounts $18 - amzn.to/40eFeQX
Furniture Plugs ($8) - amzn.to/3PZYnS0
¾” Screws (For platform layers) $8 - amzn.to/3MdYJU5
Gorilla Wood Glue $11 - amzn.to/3MbQZBQ
¾” x ¾” Aluminum Angle for Trim $20 - amzn.to/3MbWxfO
1” Foam tape $15 - amzn.to/3QttI0X
Aluminum 40”x3”x.5” bar $50 (Local Metal Supply Store)
Baltic Birch 48x96 Sheet ~$150 (Local Wood supply store)

Honestly dude I probably won't be doing this to my GX because it's just too much work, but I do appreciate all the videos and how well you can keep the viewers entertained. Your step by step commentary is great and we can tell how much effort you put into these videos.

Thank you sir! Yeah, I probably put more than the $500 I saved over a goose gear platform in time into this. Building the drawers and frame is way easier than figuring out how to build super strong mounts for the platform though and I'm only into that another $300 so it's getting easier as I go. Thanks for watching!
“…had better fake reviews…”. HILARIOUS 😂😂😂
I saw your posts on the MUD forums, so I was excited for this video to drop. Looks great man. Can't wait to see the next phase.
4:39 That, sir, is why I watch your content. We share the same phobias.
I can’t believe you only have 400 views! This is great content.

Very cool project. When my oldest kid (have three) heads to college in a couple years I’m going to jettison the third row and do something similar.
They have DESTROYED dispersed camping anywhere near Sedona. It's a travesty. Loved the video. Nice job. Looks like your a Phoenix local. Hopefully we'll cross paths out there.
Love the detail. I’m doing this on my GX and I’ll definitely be referring to your build!
Storage platform looks great! DIY projects can be a time suck, but typically worth the added effort. Sometimes. 😂

Gday sir, I’m a CAD designer and it would be really nice to make your whole build an assembly. All materials, screws, nuts bolts etc into one model. The alum, the 40deg brackets file everything. I’ll model it, you own it. Sell it for a few bucks prob. I’d love to do it and also love to do it to my GX:-)

Well done! I had planned to do it with HDPE, but your idea with the L-track is a great one! (sorry for the rhyme, it was truly done by accident)

I thought about hdpe too but my local plastic supplier only stocks certain thicknesses and 1” was $500ish a sheet. You’d have to route to recess since HDPE won’t glue very well. If you have a router and can stomach to additional cost it would be a great way to go. On the plus side, no need to paint!

@@WastingTimeInTheWoods I can absolutely make a rough appropriation of what you accomplished. I can confirm it will get the job done and look ugly, but I won’t spend $2500 on a custom built drawer system for a vehicle I’ll end up selling in 3 years anyway.
Jake - love your content/S.O Humor & have watched all since you got your GX. I'm counting on your followup vid on the drawers - wait since holidays is killing me. Please help me get diy done for my Jun trip 🙏 (dont want to buy) thank you

Question about Gaia gps: I was how (or if) you convert MVU pdf’s to kmz (or other map type of file) to upload to Gaia gps?
@WastingTimeInTheWoods
9 ай бұрын
I only use the MVMU's that Gaia has in their map layers. No scanning necessary. So far any national Forrest I've gone to that has an MVMU, it has been in Gaia. You may need the premium version to get them. A lot of forrest's don't publish an MVMU though. Like Apache Sitegraves or Tonto here in AZ. We go to both often but no official MVMU's : / Can't even get a paper one. The ones that do, you can always download it separate as a PDF if you don't want to pay for Gaia Premium, but in my experience, the PDF's are not optimized at all and a pain to navigate on an iPad.
Send cut send says they cannot use the cad design for the rear bracket. I think they need them without the measurements.

Check the folder again. I made a send cut send compatible version. The only issue is send cut send doesn’t list m10x1.25 tapping, only m10x1.5. You can just use m10x1.5 for those (platform to bracket connection) or try a different vendor. M10x1.5 s more common than 1.25 so the bolts would be just as easy to source, you just can’t re-use the seat bolts. Let me know how it goes!
