Lost World's Toyota Landcruiser Rear Sleeping/Storage Platform
This is an unedited iPhone 6 video we made for a friend interested in building a rear sleeping storage platform in his Landcruiser. If you have any questions feel free to make any in the comments. We used this Landcruiser and the platform to drive from California to Argentina and all around the Americas from 2009 to 2014.

I have also taken stuff to cook inside a hotel room, but never thought to actually take the entire kitchen! Genius! I had to go back and forth many times to get spices, oil, and whatnot... your way, is the way!
Totally the best i have seen, will copy this model for my car
By far the best sleeping platform I've come across. Well thought out and simple.
Nice simple and very functional layout. Good job. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful made... and i like the idea that you often park where the car isn't necessary leveled - I loved that removable kitchen!
Late to the party! I've been scouring the KZread for ideas on a storage build for my FJ. Every time I settle on a particular concept another one comes up I change my mind. YOURS by far is the bomb! The removable kitchen concept is awesome. Your set up is clean simple and realistic for DIY guy. Thanks for sharing!
It is interesting, comforting and refreshing to see how these fit-outs can be achieved without lining the pockets of the large corporations and Chinese trinket makers. Most people are Zombies who copy and paste what most others do. This idea presented here is almost certainly superior. I mean, when you see that the kitchen can be transported the advantage becomes self evident. I learn the most from, and am inspired by, the cheaper home made innovation fit-outs such as presented here.
Like the kitchen setup. Thank for making my creative side flow.
Great work! Simple and afficient! Thank you for sharing! Take care!

The kitchen drawer/table was indeed a very useful idea. We dragged it into friend's backyards and even a couple of motel rooms...
Halfassedly...Can I get that in a sentence? LOL. I learned a new word. Thanks. Good set-up. Given me some good ideas for my build. Take it easy.
my dream suv with my dream set-up.
Nice!
Nice.
Nice! :-)
nice made
Hi, excellent work, question: Are the legs of the drawer with the kitchen 20" OVERLAPPING?, Thanks so much.
Amzing build , would love to build something exactly like that for me and my fathers Land Cruiser 60. Do you by any chance have the plans for it or some photos I could use?
Curious if you can fit two on sleeping g platform with fridge? Love the setup and will rely primarily on rooftop tent but if you can fit two, how comfortable?
Nice setup. Would you please share dimensions, especially width of frige and two drawers
is there enough room to sleep two people inside? ive been wanting to see if i can make it work with a fridge and room for two people to sleep. Tia!
Where can I get those drawers? Amazing build!
For the propane gas tank and the extra tire, did you never had any issues with people stealing those? Since they are just attached on the outside of the car?
Where did you get the drawers?
Where are your wheel arches.great set up bro.
Excellent job. Has given me some ideas, particularly that fridge slide. You're not worried about being rear-ended and having the gas bottle blow up? Not sure it would be legal here in Australia. Will have to check.

+Nugget S. Legality, I'm not sure. However i did a quick search and tried to find a LPG tank that has failed in a collision... There isn't much... LPG tanks are very, very strong. If an impact fails the tank, i would assume there would be critical damage to occupants and the diesel/petrol tank....
May I ask two more questions, please. Was the ply used in the drawers just glued and screwed together, or did you do something special to gain a rigid frame. Also, those drawers slide effortlessly, despite being wood on wood. Was a particular varnish used to achieve that? Hope the're not silly questions!

+Nugget S. Sorry it took me a bit to reply! Not silly at all. I am no carpenter and a carpenter would probably laugh at my work, but the joints are an insane mish mash. Some are Kreg screws, some regular screws and some simply glued with Elmers... Like I mentioned in the video 3 continents and over 70k miles and everything is fine. The plywood I used is a high end zero void furniture plywood that came prefinished and it is super smooth, once it started losing the finish I stared rubbing the wood with a beeswax based concoction I use for my leather boots and it works great (Obenaufs Heavy Duty LP, amazing stuff for leather) Hope that helps!
I like the propane on the swing gate did you buy that or make it?

Great set up. Did you build the draw with the legs or purchase?
@LostWorldLuis

Thanks! I built the wood stuff, the legs I purchased at www.metalkraft.com/products/specialty-legs
This looks more like 3/4" ply on top and box sides w/ drawers being 1/2". I do like your max use of space of using drawers as support rather than framing the box.

Thanks Doug. As far as the plywood goes it is 1/2 inch pre finished birch ply all around (except the quarter panel covers which are 1/4”). The drawers may look skinny cause I did a rabbet joint on the front piece.
Awsome set up!!, can you tell me where to buy the legs for the drawer/table?, thanks. Adrian.

Really awesome build. how much did this cost roughly? also what was your gameplan when you got to the darien gap? pay to have your car shipped?

Sorry I never replied to this! I really cannot remember how much I spent in this setup, but basically the cost of 3 sheets of 5x5 furniture grade plywood. Really nice prefinished stuff... The finish is starting to look kinda sad now that it is about 8 years old. We indeed shipped from Panama to Colombia in 2010. We stuffed the Landcruiser in a container and then flew to meet it.
If the wood starts to stick, use surf wax to ease their friction.
do you think i could go from Morocco to south africa in one of these?

Driving an FJ60? Most definitely a doable trip with a very capable rig as long as the truck is well serviced and maintained. We have friends doing that drive right now in a Nissan Patrol and in a Jeep (kevandemgoglobal and theroadchoseme)
Do you think this setup would work in 1989 4runner?

Sorry Nathan, I had not seen your comment. I'm not terribly familiar with your model 4Runner, but I don't see any reason why some version of our set up would not work in your rig. Good Luck!
damn! cook me dinner?
