4 door xj sleeping

[morgan320i]

i noticed my xj has alot of room so i made this, it folds in half has hinges and support underneath, also makes a nice bucket for cargo when folded

im 6 foot and there is more then enough room for 2

Did you not have a center console or take it out cause i am 6 ft and cant sleep in mine cause of the console. I am very interested in how you accomplished this.

 

[morgan320i]

No center consol

 

[frontman]

Sp does the platform raise your head above the back seat when its folded forward?

 

[Hillenbrand]

It looks like he removed the part of the back seat that's removable. Not the one with two bolts but the one with the lever on one side and a pin on the other side.

 

[morgan320i]

Yes i pop the seat out

 

[Mike1331]

do you sleep with hatch open? I'm 5'9" and i had to sleep diagonal with the butt portion of the seat removed if i wanted to fully stretch. Adding a cage and shocks back there didn't help but i still fit.

 

[Built2Flex]

Yeah, I tried this, but at 6'3" I had a hard time. Looks good though!

 

[Mike1331]

yeah its a tight cabin, a 2 door explorer has more cargo space behind front seats than a 4 door xj.

I take the backseat out, fill the gap between the bottom rear seat and the back of the front seats with whatever (sweatshirts, etc) and sleep cross ways. I'm 6'2" 300# and don't find it comfy but have done it in a pinch more than a couple times, lol! The key is your thermarest!

 

[morgan320i]

i got memory foam and its comfeee beats a tent i made one for my f250 crew cab

 

[blondejoncherokee]

thats pretty cool, so the entire back area becomes one comfy memory foam mattress thing. I want to see if I even fit in the back of my jeep laying down but this would be nice for making quick camp , If i actually want to unload all of the crap I carry.

 

[DaveNJeep]

Keep in mind guys, sleeping in your heep never beats a quality tent. Glass and metal are HORRIBLE insulators. The coldest nights I've ever spent in the mountains have been IN my heep.

I know it may seem hard to believe, but a QUALITY tent beats your heep every time.

 

[Johnnie Walker]

For those that have a cage. A hammock should work. .
I to am too tall to fit. Hatch open would work but not ideal

 

[morgan320i]

cars are not good insulators, i have this for gf and lazy camping trips, with lots of blankets, ,
i designed my roof rack to fit my backpacking tent, i need to finish it though and add expanded metal

 

[morgan320i]

finished my swing away ammo/jerry can holder today and it also doubles as a step to get in the tent above
