I know from your pics you run 17" H2 wheels. The FZJ-80 used 16" rims; Pattern, 6 on 5.5 inches; Backset, 4.5 inches; offset zero (with an 8 inch width). You might want to specifically search for 17" rims with that pattern and backset or get some more H2 wheels if you're stuck on them. Or...

I guess AAMCO took all those fingernail-sized metal chips out for you during the inspection. Did you thank them? :D

You've made your opinion abundantly clear but you never said anything substantial other than accuse them of being mall crawlers, ugly, or grocery getters. This is what you originally said... I don't agree with you or the overwhelming evidence that you've presented to prove your point. Also...

Then he deserves the price to be bumped up another 10%. We are offended - it is our will.

By the description of your limb appendages I'm getting this image that you're a Hobbit...

You must have sensitive testes then; there wasn't any "ball-busting" going on. No worries - that can be remedied. I'll even avoid the obvious that a man of your advanced age and tender gonads should be skilled in punctuation, spelling, and grammar at this stage of the game. But I will bust...

Never send a kitty to do a man's job.

Perhaps it is relevant because the 70-series continues to be manufactured and available world-wide. While the platform still looks familiar, it has gone through style updates as well as some drive-train updates. Kaizen not withstanding, Toyota would not offer it if there was no demand. It...

Aww... makes sense now. I failed to read your mind... we both stand corrected! There are lots of LED solutions posted for the FZJ80 and they are an awesome improvement. I have no knowledge about the Land Rover crowd but I bet they'll start chiming in soon...

You might want to ask this question in the Land Cruiser forum vice Land Rover forum. I bet you'll get more replies that can answer your question.

That never fails to get the owners attention. I had a friend who took his nicely built 200-series Land Cruiser in for routine service at a Toyota dealership. As he was waiting a Toyota sales rep came up to him and made that observation... "Nice Highlander - I didn't know they made a lift kit...

That link gives me the rubber foam main page Adam. IIRC when I had a Yakima rack, the rubber pads were a 1/2" thick, hard durometer rubber; I would think a similar material that you could custom trim to your base legs is what would satisfy your requirements. I don't know if you saw 4307's...

Can't help but notice all the traffic in this thread except for any follow-up from the OP who submitted 2 threads [http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/70754-anyone-have-or-know-of-a-LC-101-ambulance-for-sale?p=1004615#post1004615] requesting availability for sale of a vehicle they...

Make your own pads... http://www.mcmaster.com/#rubber/=fchqcp All sorts of shapes, densities, no backing, adhesive, laminates. I'm sure you want to distribute the pressure points of the base and protect the finish and metal from deformation. I wouldn't skimp knowing that you might reconfigure...

No, I disagree with you - it was relevant. That is still one of the best home-built racks I've ever seen since you first posted your build. Adam may not go that route but your pics and build will inspire others. Got me thinking again, too. I think you should put it back up!

Nice Highlander!

Yes, they are nice photos but the title you gave this thread is misleading; e.g., people are working, license plate in Lincoln, NE says 1942, and the majority of photo citations are from 1940. The Great Depression happened in 1929 to 1939. Globally, the depression essentially ceased in 1939...

Never heard of a LC 101 Ambulance platform. Do you mean something like this, based on the HZJ-78 Troopy?

Usually on a pintle mount in the bed of the truck. It's the ExPo way...
