Now back to the original question.

True, we all take chances everytime we change a factory vehicle. Like this dash mount.

Anything not tested in a crash test is capable of breaking loose in a crash. Everything involves a certain amount of risk and most people mitigate that risk as much as possible. I did not notice any hate for the people who have stuff suctioned...

I fear we have taken this thread in a direction the OP wasn’t interested in - but now that we are here: So Cole and Bloc, I fully agree about the dangers of things flying around during an accident but since our vehicles are all one large...

That is right. I keep everything strapped down . Amazing how many people don't have anything secured.

That goes for just about anything aftermarket added to a vehicle. Just think of jeep drivers and all those ducks flying around in a wreck.

Treating injuries at and occasionally cutting the passengers out of car wrecks is a major part of my day job. I won't get into the details of what I've personally seen, but there is absolutely no way I'd put that big chunk of metal so close to my...

This would work. I had this in my FJ60...

How does that work when the roof rack covers to sunroof?

I really doubt most think a sunroof is an emergency exit especially with a roof rack.

This looks like a good idea for some light storage like binos, 2A or snacks. https://ohanarigsupply.com/collections/land-cruiser-200-series/products/copy-of-ors-designed-gx470-overhead-molle-panel-captain-panel

It would be best to call Overland Cruisers about this. Of course an engine and transmission would have to be sourced Overland Cruisers makes the adapters.

Yes it was. I sold it and my FJ60 a few years back to buy my 200 series. I was in Bozeman having my 200 series serviced and Steve from Overland Cruisers invited me participate in the car show where he debuted his 4.6 l Toyota V8 swap into the fj40.

Overland Cruisers of Bozeman MT has developed a kit to fit the Toyota 4.7 V8 and a H55 transmission in a FJ40. This kit gives your FJ40 Toyota V8 performance.

so i ended up doing the budget thing for now. i have a set of 5 bolt split rims with 17.5 inch LT tires that i picked up brand new off some landcruisers from our local mine. $200 for 5. well they have the 5x150mm bolt pattern that i cannot get...

The issue with these tires is the ability to airdown . An issue the the M416 is bouncing with heavy LT 8-10 ply tires and no floatation.

There is no reason to have matching spares. Just carry appropriate spares, you still still need to carry two anyway. 16" LT tires are for one ton vehicles and will not air down enough to provide floatation.

The cheapest route is to get "Jeep" wheels 15X8 and the tire selection is large. Pictured are 32-11.50 X15
