I didn't take any pics. Its nothing fancy on the inside no drawers or anything. The top and bottom of the tv stand got bolted together to make the top of the cabinet. I cut and bolted the rest of it to make the sides. It does not have a bottom, but its bolted to the Jeeps floor. I used some metal to reinforce it. (Needs a little more) Its has a lock on each side. I used carriage bolts so when its locked you can't just take it apart. Its pretty secure. The carpet was from autozone. Some locks from Home Depot. Most of the other stuff I already had.

I'm going to venture a guess that it's less than six feet... I'm 6'1 and have to curl up in the fetal position when I sleep in the back with the hatch closed and the seats down.

Very inventive though... if I wasn't so tall, I'd do it.

The passenger seat looks likes it pushed up. Thats why I guessed over 6 feet. Edit nope just measured it. Got less than 6 feet.

The way to go is get front seats from A 2 door
Pushed forward with them inclined you would gain at least a couple inches. No?
Must be close to 6 ft.
