Hi guys, first time posting, I’m in the market for a Cherokee and before hand I’m trying to get a little information specially on the rear floor space.
I’m looking to use the back to occasionally sleep in, without the rear seats of course. If any would have the length and width (fender to fender is fine) dimensions that would be great!
I can take some measurements. I am roughly 6' - 6'1" and I fit fine back there. You can also build a small set of storage boxes etc. to fit in the rear passenger footwell that will give you a few more inches of space. Now about putting two people plus a dog in there to sleep. Well that depends on your comfort requirements....
I have a 77 Cherokee. I took the rear seat out and built a small platform to extend the floor to the back of the front seats. I'm also 6'1" and I fit fine if I put my head to the front. The tailgate angles in so it makes it tight for your head if you try to put it to the rear. I have the SereHill harness for the rear window with remote, so I can lower the window from inside the back section without contorting over the seats to reach the front switch. The Inner wheel wells do cut down on sleeping space for 2 people but it is doable.
I start what I finish.
81 Wagoneer 4.2/auto
77 Cherokee S 360/Auto/QT
97 Jeep Wrangler
You can also build a platform that is above the wheel well to sleep on. Cuts down on headroom, but makes it wide enough to fit two more comfortably.

I just realized I don't have a picture of the shelf installed on my storage system. You can see the support I made for the shelf on each side just above the above the wells. You could extend the supports to the front seats and make a sleeping deck there. I have thought about it myself. Then you would have a lot of storage space below the deck. Good luck. George.
