Hey guys,

 

Just wondering if anyone has come across/modified anything to covert the crew cab into a sleeping area? Basically folding up the rear seat and something for the floor as the hump would not be comfortable lol.

 

I do not want a canopy for the bed and would be rare that I use it, but I do sometimes do go on long drives for work and would be nice to lay out a bit versus being confined to the rear bench seat.

 

Thanks!

I've seen an air mattress made just for that.

Do you have a link?

 

A regular air mattress wouldn't work ideally.

I've thought this would be a great idea, but at 6'4" I don't see it happening lol.

Thanks. I am looking more for something right on the ground though, but this is pretty close.

Haha, ya, might just want to recline the front seat :lol: I'm 6 ft. so I should be ok for the back.

In my old Tahoe, I was able to grind off a retaining nut, which allowed the front seat to fully recline. i haven't looked to see if this is possible in our trucks, but something to maybe look at

I have a tonneau cover and a BedRug. Works great and is REALLY comfortable since you can stretch out the whole length of the bed (I have the 6'6" bed)!!

If floor level is what you want, maybe a trip to an upholstery supply for some foam rubber cut to fill the low pockets.

 

Another idea would be just cut a sheet of plywood to fit and throw a cheap foam futon in it along with your sleeping bag.

My wife always lays out in the back when we travel. She came up with cushions from out side lawn chairs stuffed into a sleeping bag. My wife's pretty cheap, she got everything at yard sales.

I wouldn't recommend anyone sleeping on a bed setup while the truck is in motion. We find that the front seats fully reclined are conducive to a nice sleep. My wife will often nap while travelling but she is belted in and seated.

It was the driver talking about taking a nap.

It would be for myself, the driver, when I stop at a rest site.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
