With that in mind, Know that I am not affiliated with this company and I am only giving the information which they have given to me. I am just a messenger for Huracan. They were so pleased how the first group, 2nd and 3rd, 4th, and 5th group buys worked so they reached back out to ask if I would do it again. I just want to help the MUD community for all of the info I have found and the times I have been helped, etc.

I encourage you to do your own research on products and vendors and I am not responsible for order issues, shipping delays, etc. Those issues would need to be communicated directly with the vendor, although they have been extremely responsive to any correspondence with the previous group buy and also setting this one up. Customer service has been outstanding IMO.

Really happy with mine for the 80...excellent permanent storage for my soft recovery gear:

I also purchased one and got shipping confirmation very quickly.

Of note, HFab-USA uses DHL to ship internationally and were unable to ship to a PSC (military base). I asked how much it would cost to ship to my UK residential address and their Director, Rhys Cartlidge, said that he would ship it free of charge! Their website states that free shipping is available for the USA, so he didn't have to ship it across the pond to me for free. Thank you for your generosity Rhys!

I did an install thread for 100 Series. Mine is a 2002 & I chose the marine carpet option.

Huracan Fabrication Tailgate Storage Installation

First how to/install thread, so please bear with me. I Learned A Thing! It may take a couple days to get this all up, please let me get it all up before adding any questions or comments. I’ll edit this out later(Left in because I learned something). - It was recommended to me to reserve...

Does this work ok with the LX and its yuge reverse lights in the tailgate?

I'm a little late here, but, since it was asked...

Putting a Huracan in the tailgate of my 2005 LX470 was the worst mod I ever did on it. The huge reverse lights take up way too much of the available area in the tailgate and they are right in the middle of the larger spaces on either side of the tailgate. The wiring for the reverse lights was also very much in the way. The lights were so bulky and very much in the way. It was basically unusable for anything aside from something like a pair of work gloves. I would never do it on an LX470 again with those big reverse lights in there.

Nevermind how much heavier the tailgate became with just the Huracan alone. It was such a b*tch to open and close. You'll def never want to out anything of any weight in there (not that much fits on the LX470 anyway...) Plus the included hardware they provide to use to help the OEM flap to not get caught when closing the tailgate never worked and promptly fell off making the flap to always get caught when closing the tailgate.

If I hadn't sold that LX and went to an 06 LX, I would've been getting a replacement un-modified tailgate.

Hate to hear this but thanks for sharing your experience as I was contemplating this for my 07 lx470. I have one of these in my 80 and love it.

Thanks for the info. I actually bought one on this group buy for my 04 LX470. I marked out the template and noticed the huge reverse lights right in the middle of everything. Also the center support bracket isn't in the center of the cut so it would have to come out leaving a lot of the new piece unsupported.

Came back to this thread to look for others experience putting in the LX470 and I'm glad I saw your post. Going to skip this mod.

Mine is for sale in Phoenix if anyone is interested.
