Welcome to the world of extrusions!Has Frontrunner been acquired by IKEA?
Actually a reference to the squillion small parts and complex assembly noted by @Trillion.They were acquired by Dometic a few years ago.
Ikea would have been easier... I would have pay twice the money to get it fully assembled! It cones with over 220 bolts, nuts and components. not kidding...Has Frontrunner been acquired by IKEA?
Would you have any photos of it installed? Do you think it would work as a sleeping platform with the seats laid flat? thanks! GeorgeI'm installing mine as we speak. It was in stock at Frontrunner a week or so ago. Quality components, well packed, but a nightmare to assemble. It comes with tons of bolts and nuts and other little parts. Had to print the manual (20 pages) to be able to identify each component (listed in mm). It looks very simple from the pictures, but more complicated to put together than Davinci's code. Also no videos around on the assembly. Product itself 5 stars, assembly 1 star and that's being generous.
I've completed the assembly last night, will mount it in the truck today/ tomorrow and will post pics. You might be able to use it as a sleeping platform but it wont be flush with the back seats (more like a recliner). Also you'll have to put a stronger base on it. The carpeted MDF panels that comes with are not solid enough.Would you have any photos of it installed? Do you think it would work as a sleeping platform with the seats laid flat? thanks! George
I had the same thought, and there is a Black Friday sale going on so I almost bought one. However on the product pages it says the max weight it holds is 176 pounds. That means even just me and some gear may put it over the limit.I've completed the assembly last night, will mount it in the truck today/ tomorrow and will post pics.

Not for sleeping because surface isn't flat when rear seats are folded?Final product... clean look, feels steady, but definitely not for sleeping. Would not buy it again, due to the major pain of assembly (looks like nothing when installed). But unless you make your own from scratch, this is a good, cheap option.
That's one, but also the carpeted plywood is not strong enough (pretty thin). You could put a more solid one on top of it (the frame is aluminum), but this it wasn't design for sleeping. You would be more comfortable sleeping in the driver's seat. It's great if you use their Wolf Pack Pro storage crates (fits 4 of them and you still have the top). That's what I got it for.Not for sleeping because surface isn't flat when rear seats are folded?
Can the Wolf Packs by themselves support body weight?That's one, but also the carpeted plywood is not strong enough (pretty thin).

they could depending on the weight and what you put on top of them to achieve even distribution.Can the Wolf Packs by themselves support body weight?
I looked at this, and emailed, unfortunately not suitable for sleeping due to the lengths of the boards! They can offer custom ones however!they could depending on the weight and what you put on top of them to achieve even distribution.
This might work as a sleeper (out of Europe, and more expensive)
