I have a tire carrier and sleeping platform out of my Toyota Land Cruiser 80 series that I'm not needing anymore. It's a carrier I made, but it's similar to the one that LandCruiserPhil on IH8MUD sells (more similar to his original prototype, as it's made with square tube, and has a little different shape than his production units.) The sleeping platform bolts to it (and some of the 3rd row mounts) to make a flat sleeping platform for 1 person with the second row folded down. No mods required to the Cruiser other than removing the 3rd row seat hardware. The platform is 13" tall, which makes a flat surface when a spacer is placed under the 2nd row rear latch to make the seat-back level. I just used a 4" chunk of 2x4 lumber to set under the latch when setting up camp. Easy peasy. I'm ~6'1" and I fit on the platform/seat bed very comfortably. Also, the platform/shelf makes for a more efficient use of space when packing up your junk to go explore.
Pictured it is holding a 35x12.5R17, but will fit any tire of the same (or narrower with a spacer) width. There is no limit to height except the roof of the Cruiser - there is enough height in the cargo area that a 37" tire will fit. Just release the ratchet-strap and roll the tire out. I'll include all necessary hardware to bolt it into the back of your 80. All the steel is painted textured black, and the platform is grey carpet-wrapped 1/2" ply. It doesn't rattle or move in the Cruiser, even when you're driving hard enough to keep up with Kurt.
Will fit any year 80 (90-97) or LX450 (96-97) as long as it has the 3rd row seat mounting holes in the floor and rear fenderwells.
It's dusty in the pics, but it's in very good shape.
I'd like to get $200 for the whole setup.
