I had a nice permanent 2×4 bed built into my long bed Tundra. But when my daughter needed to move I realized I faced 3 hours of disassembly before my Tundra was back to a normal empty truck.<\/p>\n

On to version 2.0 . My priorities were:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    It had to be removable in minutes, not hours.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    It had to be light and lean, the 2×4 bed was bulky<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    I needed fold up bed platforms so I could easily walk back to access a rear box, and avoid crawling up the tunnel under the permanent bed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    It needed to be compact, in case I had to disassemble and store it while carrying something large, like a fridge, or some 4 x 8′ sheets of plywood.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
