Sorry for the rapid-fire posts... where the roof-rack is concerned, I'd vote for a "Bowfin" roof-rack made by a fellow Mud member. I don't want to ping him as he's slammed as far as I can gather.

60 Series Roof Rack

The 60 series roof rack is finally here! After much design work, we have a rack that works great on the 60 series Land Cruiser. The rack uses latches much like the great 80 series rack, an adjustable cam-type latch that holds fast and strong. The latches are locked down after adjustment with...

They sell out as soon as he posts them, but if you can snag one, you won't be disappointed. I've got one and love it.

Just my two cents.

I'm going to second the Bowfin rack. IMO the best roof rack for a 60 series. Low profile, solid mount system, plethora of options for versatility. Comes well packaged with instructions and is simple to install.

On the subject of aluminium door cards, would they blister a knee on a hot day?

Not anymore than the exposed area at the top of the door (bottom of the window). Plus, they are not typically in the direct sunlight.

i have an arb aluminum roof rack with is great for carrying gear but if your looking at tents you’ll want something flat and not basket style. i haul bags and canoes etc so it’s perfect for what i want but i’d never put a tent on it. makes it too high. the above mentioned racks look awesome and reviews are great. TT also makes custom racks bumpers and does the coil conversion. you could get all of them from one vendor!

The Aussie door cards linked earlier are ABS plastic. I wouldn’t want sheet metal inner door cards.

Out of the above mentioned racks being flat, what is the weight carrying capacity?
Say I would like to carry some building materials such as plywood, 2x4 and other sheet goods with the ability to strap them down. Which one?

I'll second that.

Thanks guys!! I have a arb basket style on the 80 but I was looking for a flat one for the 60. Looks like it fits the bill.

Hey I gotta talk with Woody before I can really push ORIKAWA stuff as a vendor but check out the construction @ orikawa.net of the aluminum panels mentioned. Being AZ based the panels have seen sun and being powder coated tan or grey they get warm but not bad at all like bare metal. Black plastic would be as hot for sure...

Gotta call out my bias... I like the stuff I build hahaa. Cheers!

Any promo codes? Disabled Veteran discounts (can provide verification)? I'm needing the full set from doors to cargo area but at $1526 in my cart I'm hesitating a while.
