I saw an older maybe late 80's 4 runner picking up a girl from bandpractice today and after looking at it for awhile i got to thinking. would the swingout tire carrier on the 4runner work on an FJ60? Just a thought if anyone has pondered it before or has actually done it. I think it might work, but i'd have to actually dry fit it before i knew for sure.

I think CruiserDan's advice to me when inquiring about a similar set up for my 80 would apply here.
You can bolt the exterior piece on, fab probably required. But the stock units have welded-in supports inside the sheetmetal that will be hard to fab......and are required to support the weight.
Just a thought.

before I built my rear bumper with tire rack was thinking of doing the same thing but using a gate off a Ford Bronco onto my landcruiser. I asked a friend of mine about it and he said the same thing (he owns a large auto body shop). it would litterally tear out through the sheet metal if you dont totally reinforce things on the inside....but it can be done.
