I didn't think I was going to like your video however you did an excellent job on your build and I will copying it. I was very wrong. Thank you for posting it
I've lived in the back of my 2000 Cherokee sport for 3 years, I have the high density foam from Jo-Ann's laid diagonally across and I just store all my stuff on either side. I'm 6'2 and I have to bend my knees when I sleep but it's pretty comfortable.
I like your idea of making the cargo area section a size than can be used with the back seat in either position. I also like how the build evolved with the aluminum trim to protect and finish the edges, the cargo tie-downs, and slide-out table. Thank you for sharing your pics, cut-list, and 3D model.
Thinking of doing the same build. I think to create more space I might takeout the passenger seat. But that eliminates the possibility of another person coming along.
Brilliant! Looks pretty damn comfy and convenient to me. I’ve been looking for an idea like this. I like going on fishing adventures with my son, this will be very handy. Pull up to the boat ramp, camp the night and drop the boat in early in the morning with no camp to pack up!
@@grahamjgreen is there any reason why I couldn’t just have the front part of the platform rest on the top of the back seat when it’s in it’s folded up? It seems like it would be at about the right height?
I love Cherokee builds, but if I can't sit up on my sleeping platform I freak out. Haha. I wish I could run a build like this, but I would get way claustrophobic in there.
well done! Looking to replicate, but I only see the "Front" section cut sheet in the drop box. Do you have the "Rear" section cut sheet available as well, or am I missing it? Thanks!
Why didn't you remove rear seat? Would allow the front seats to recline and possibly make the folding section easier to deploy/reset. If you ever get tired of having to slide the front seats forward, look into getting f'seats from a 2dr xj b/c they have tilt forward function... though stay with 97+ to avoid mounting differences.
@@grahamjgreen just wondering since you didn’t mention the passenger side and you had your bed roll on drivers side. I like your build. I took the rear seat and passenger seat out and put a deck the same height as the factory rear deck and will use plastic totes for storage so I can take them out of the way at camp. I have 2 Belgian Malinois dogs that go with me since I only camp as far back and as high as I can get in the backcountry.
Well done. It's so much fun to engineer a Jeep into a camper.

Thanks Trey, glad you found it useful. Good luck with your build.

You have the ultimate xj camper setup. Freaking amazing setup.

Thanks Brian, and you're welcome.
One of those tension type clamp hangers that you might mount a mop, broom or rake in a storage closet to hold up your tripod leg.
I need a full field of vision while driving. its my priority!
You and I have the same color XJ's, inside and out. I did a similar build and it has been handy. I like your set up as well.
Right on

You are correct if you are over 5' 10" it doesn't work. You have to sleep diagonally. I am also 5'10" and I used to sleep in the back.
My plan is to modify the front passenger seat to allow a longer bunk. Either locate a seat from a 2 door that folds forward or modify the seat tracks.
Great job on the build. I’m looking to do something similar to my 1995 Jeep XJ ✌🏽❤
Excellent travail, un grand merci pour le partage de la vidéo. Ton xj est superbe.

It's been really great on road trips to stop for a quick nap or overnights where you don't feel like setting up a tent.
@@grahamjgreen yes, I can just imagine. I have just ordered all the materials :)

@@officialWWM awesome, let me know how it works out of if you have any questions.
@@officialWWM I'm not sure I follow. The only part that folds up is the section where you put your head.
Awesome build. Gives me a lot of great ideas for my ZJ build.
Nice! Clean way to do a similar platform 🙌
Just used a Velcro on the leg. I like your idea on your Jeep
That's a good idea! 💡
u can use a magnet or velcro to hold up your tri pod leg
Use a broom clamp that mounts to the wall. Super cheap solution
Also great build thanks for sharing
A magnet would be a good keeper for the table leg, assuming it’s steel
Outstanding job !
Thanks Shawn
Gracias por hacer un cajón dormitorio tan completo !!!
De nada

I hear ya, it's not ideal and takes some getting used to.
Great job, thanks

Oh, wow, I had no idea that was missing, I'll see if I can find it.
Not sure what happened with the original, should have been 2 pages. Anyway, it's updated now.
@@grahamjgreen thank you much!

I didn't want to remove the rear seat because that's an extra hassle to put it back in when switching back to using the rear seat.
great job. I am restoring a XJ 2000. Can you send me the plans?
Links are in the description.
nicely done
Dimensions for the three sections if you have them?
You should be able to get them from the Tinkercad model.
ummmmmm
Yeah
Damn dude lay the passenger seatback forward and you have plenty of room to stretch out
Well aware of that, I do, that's how I'm able to have the folding section at the front end of the platform.
