I just did it the easy way - took it into Toyota and had the hybrid fan cleaned and asked them to not put the seats back in. That worked. I made my platform and am ready to hit the road. Have been looking forward to this for awhile now.
Very helpful! I’d be very appreciative if you could provide a measurement from the passenger side firewall to the forward surface of the hybrid battery cover.
I would recommend getting a set of socket adapters so you can use your1/4" sockets with your 3/8" wrench. They're not very expensive, and make life much easier.
Defintiely! I sleep in my Prius V rear regularly, with just hte rear seats folded down. But I'm tkain gthe rear seats out for more storage. I just bought a refrigerator to go there, Aobosi brand, that is just aobut the samae height as the rear deck above the rear floor. I intned to bolt that down like the seats, then put a similar size cooler in front of it. With a mattress pad across the top of them, I t hink it will work great. Other than that, I've considered just putting a piece fo plywood on a small riser frame into the back for storage under, sleep on top.
Yes, 14 Metric is the ticket! The seats weigh a ton for sure. Not eyeballing the gas usage enough to notice. I did build a set of wheels for the chair so I could put it in the office. Really well made seat.

Thanks for showing us how! Very appreciated
maybe a pipe over the wrench handle for more leverage. do you think I could build something to make it level for sleeping back there?

Did your gas mileage improve removing rear seat? How much does the seat weigh? Maybe a 14 metric impact wrench would make the removal of bolts easier.
