Dude thank you so much for this in depth breakdown. You and Eric Enjoys Earth are godsends for the Sienna crowd. Just got mine and am looking forward to decking it out
Sweet, glad it was helpful
Can't wait to see the full build 😃
Great job! Well explained and good idea’s. Can’t wait the next one!
Thank you for your videos. This is what I want to do to a new Sienna like yours. I am so glad to know you can take out the seats.
Yeah I say go for it
detail is amazing. Thanks
Great, hope it can help
Nice! I plan to make a floor very similar on my Sienna 2022. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Very cool!
Im purchasing a Sienna for vanlife and I'm so concerned about messing up my van. This video is very informational.
Glad it’s been helpful. Stay tuned for more
Thanks for your detailed video. I'll be doing the same thing to my 3rd-Gen Sienna this year. Want to create a Cargo/Camper van and need to design a strong secure floor foundation. Although my van is slightly different, it is similar enough to use the same approach without worrying about airbag simulation dongles noted in your part 1 video. For 3rd-Gen (FWD) Siennas we also have to make sure to include access to our spare tire release crank on the van floor behind front passenger seat.
Good job!
Thank you!
Hi Justin, thanks for this super helpful video!... I'm trying to remove the 2seater part of the 3rd row but the bolts are really tight. Did you do anything special to loosen the bolts? Thanks so much!
I have a 2016 Sienna. In regards to the beam in the very back there are three tie-down braces. I took the screws out and then the metal hooks but there were still a plastic tab that get in the way of putting a bolt into the hole where the bolt would go. Did you break the plastic tab off or is there a way to take the entire casing? Hope that makes sense. Also, what size bolt did you use? Thanks, man!
Hmm all I did was unscrew the tie downs, take them into the hardware, match the size, and then bought bolts that were the same length as the tie down bolts + 1.5 inches because it was going through my 2x4. I didn’t have any plastic in the way
The well on the wall on one side - isn't that where the spare tire goes? Did you move it to a different place, or are you just going with no spare.
Mine did not come with a spare - just a repair kit. You can’t directly order a vehicle with your exact specifications from Toyota you just have to either accept or decline whatever they get sent to them
What thickness plywood did you use. I am going to try and use your design in my 2015 Sienna. Unfortunately the one issue I have is the seat brackets where the second row seats go on the Gen 3 Siennas, they don't have the bolt holes on each side for the the front supports. Do you have an ideas on how to get around this? Thanks! I love your build.
After the floor is in, what is height and length from seats to hole area?
Very well explained. What was the deciding factor on mounting the cabinets on the passenger side of the van? Also, why not go higher with the bed so you have more under bed storage area? Thanks.
My sienna van bed is twice that height with a 4 inch matress. I can still sit up in couch mode. Perhaps he is taller or the 2023 has a lower ceiling height.
I wanted to be able to get in and out of the back of the van to the drivers seat quickly because you can’t do so without leaving the van unlike older minivans that have removable center consoles. So, I don’t have to walk around the front of the car to switch from the back to the front.
If you want the bed to be higher off the ground, you can grab another cushion for some extra height.
I believe the 2023 Sienna’s have a more tapered roofline towards the back. If you compare the size of the rear windshield of the older generations with the new one, they are much larger in the past.
