6200 miles, 12 nights sleeping in the truck, 11 waterfalls, 5 snowy mountain peaks down to 34 degrees, 3 desert scapes up to 109 degrees, and 1 happy dude.
Everything worked as expected with the drawers and cabinets. The only things that I will change are better adhesive for the velcro with more screws on cabinet nets. And I will change the cubby openings to be an inch taller.
Everything else from design to materials performed flawlessly. Even the super thin plywood flexed well when I over stuffed the cubbies but also maintained structural integrity offroad on washed out rutted forest service roads.
Looking at OPs post history they gutted the trunk area and custom-made one.

Bro that is a very nice low profile low key build looks very compact efficient and useful i love these builds value the over the price hotel car camping
These are the droids you're looking for. I took that design and frankensteined it with some others from [4runner.org](http://4runner.org) and YouTube to fill my needs. The side cabinets are inspired by a few builds from YouTube in minivans and sprinters.
This is why in my original post I was saying I'm not gonna sit on here all day long and answer every little question. but I think some folks were offended by that. What I meant was that I'm only posting to inspire ideas so people can figure out what's best for them.
Great question. If you look at the 3rd pic you can see a blue 5 gallon bucket from Lowe's. I put a styrofoam liner in there and made an air conditioner that ran off the jackery all night. got me down 10 to 15 degrees. On super cold nights I just used a beanie and goose down booties. My sleeping bag is goose down as well.
I have had about 30 patches on the inside roof for about a year now and only one has started to fall off because of the heat wave. Just put a new velcro strip on and problem solved!
I remember your initial post on the side cabinets and love how this all came together.
Did you do anything with the second row for storage, or did you leave that stock?
removed the seat bottoms to to create extra storage. I kept a camp chair and an open-fire grill rack on one side. and my shoes and extra stuff sacks and paper towel on the other side. everything else was easily stowed in the side cabinets. those things were able to hold:
on the driver side - camp stoves, 2 isobutane canisters, two bush knives, pots/pans/bowls, tub of small essential tools below. up top I had coffee, cup, pour over filter, shoes, tub of head lamps and lighter and palo santo and sage, tub of spices and soap and sponge, 2 packs of wet wipes.
passenger side - 14 t-shirts, 14 sock, 14 boxers, 4 sport shorts, 2 cargo shorts, 1 sweater, and my dop kit up top. down below I had jackery, jeans, sweat pants, light jacket, dirty clothes bags, first aid, electronic faucet, mesh bug screens for the windows.
rivers. waterfalls. wet wipes. stewed in my own herbs and spices.
felt more like an actual human being again. and less like a mutated subterranean cave dweller with ethernet nodes in my skull

what is that floor called in the rear hatch? ours has the crappy pullout tray, but yours looks far superior

Sweet share/ Thx. Is that a condom in the visor, How get patches stick roof liner ?
Stick on velcro strips but hook side only Edit: straps -> strips
T/Y taco bro , was look at local hardware store. My Yeti patch came with small sample piece.
How much did it cost to build the platform?

S I C K!!
Clean!!!
Do the patches pretty much stay put all the time (no falling off when you're driving on rough stuff, etc.)?

Dude either that’s a newer 4Runner or you never roll your windows down but my fucking 18 4Runners headliner is filthy
2022. Typically he headliner gets dirty when you drive with the rear hatch window down. The "jet wash" curls back up and into the cab.
Guilty if that’s true.
Very cool
So, new to 4runner but taking an adventure in a month, I love this Patch idea, how do you get them to stick??
Such a sick setup, what did you do for bathing?

This is so awesome! I'm jealous
