1st pic during install. You can see the lashing straps in the top corners

2nd pic is the same but I put down the foam from my pelican boxes for a little extra padding under my hips on my HEST mattress

3rd shows under-bed space. You can fit a lot down there, don’t forget under the front seats

If I were a smarter man I would have gotten the base plywood panel first and then cut it down when the goose one came in, but I unfortunately got
The bed-sized panel first as I wasnt thinking.

When goose finishes their mods I imagine a gain of about 1” headspace if you’re smart or 1.5”-2” if you’re a dummy like me

I am curious.. how do all those folks who sleep in the back of these chariots, close the rear hatch when getting inside at bedtime?

Fob works great.

Goose gear and 1/2” plywood sheet sized for your bedding, then your choice of storage solutions.

Or if you don’t want to pay the exorbitant premium for goose while also waiting to pay another arm and leg when they release the second row seat delete: a plywood sheet 1/2” 43”x76” will do you just fine

Thanks yes I'm probably going to end up doing something like that since I don't love the design of Goose.

If you end up doing it yourself would love to see the plans and outcome.

Bam beds is taking pre orders for the Land Cruiser 250 platform now and offering a $150 discount for anyone that places an order during the pre order period.
$150 discount code. LC250PREORDER

I preordered one today. I like the idea of having storage below vs just a leveling solution.

I assume this option keeps the rear seat in place still. The pic on the website shows it level in the rear so its hard to tell if the rear seat is still there. As we know when it is folded it is not level at all.

Yeah, that’s what I assumed as well. Seats are just flat and this fits over the jump somehow. I don’t think they have updated images yet

I read through all the posts and did not see anyone mention the Yakima MOD Homebase. It’s 7” in height which is close to the rear seat folded. Seems some 1/2” plywood properly sized and anchored would make a fine platform with storage under. Just some thoughts for those looking for a sleeping solution w/o spending much more than $1200.
