Leaving Sunday and have no time to install airbags. Going to have to hope for the best.

LC Phil, if I order tonight would it make it to mid Mo by Friday?

If you order before midnight it will ship tomorrow USPS Priority Mail normally 2 -3 days anywhere in the lower 48.

We are leaving tomorrow for some more needed beach LC product testing. So no more shipping this week as I ensure all the products we sell perform as detailed. ;)

Even though we aren't leaving for a month, we are about ready.
Box on the roof for a cheap borrowed tent, and some blankets just in case we don't make it to a hotel or VRBO for the night. We'll also keep the clothes up there. Compressor, first aid, some straps, chairs and cooler in the back.

Looking to do the same roof setup. How did you attach the gas tank to the factory rack and which attachment did you use for the shovel?

Thanks LCPhil!

For the gas tank, I actually just Used two sided tape and some rubber padding that I had in the garage to put on the side of the gas can that was touching the roof, and strapped it down with a ratchet strap.

For the shovel I used quik fist That I screwed down to the main roof rack rail.

Thanks, so enlarged your photo and it appears you are running the strap over the top of the can and securing it to the 2 crossbars? Great, simple idea. I really did not want to buy a new rack this year and this is the cheapest solution I have seen so far.
 
Just in case your ignition randomly fails on a remote trail here's a below link. I replaced the ignition rod in my driveway after it snapped a few years ago, but this is a handy link to have on your homescreen just in case you need a quick fix, courtesy of @ponytl. Other helpful links under FAQ section of the forum, including "suggested spare parts for the trail" under 100 Series Basics. Safe travels!

5 minute start if your toyota/lexus ignition switch breaks landcruiser lx470

Thanks for this, luckily I printed it out! Needed already today at a creek and had no cell service. Unfortunately I wasn’t so lucky as to have a nub to turn with a 7mm or 9/32, but managed to get it started anyway. Now it will need fixed asap
