I'm thinking replacing the bolts used along the rail to hold down the fiberglass top with some eyeloop bolts. Then from the eye loops I can create a sleaping platform with a hammock. Your thoughts?

How far does the hammock sag? Probably my only concern.

No rear seat? I imagine it would have to be run diagonal for most anyone, and from extreme front to extreme rear or you'd hit the wheel wells.
 
Just using eye bolts on the bedrail is not going to give enough height for the right amount of “sag” to a hammock.

My camping hammock usually had to be hung anywhere from 8-10feet apart to get the right sag.
