If I mail you an overhead console you would be willing to measure and design one for the 4th gen?
Yes, I will message you and get out of the 100 series forum before I start taunting their torsion bars too much

Make 1: Scangauge II Mount for Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series
1.1 Overview of the Final Product
1.2 Introduction
First thing I made is the Scangauge II Mount for Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series. I have been trying really hard to mount the scangauge in my 2000 Land Cruiser. Before I had the mount, it was on my dash behind the steering wheel, attached by a Velcro strip. But it blocked the very bottom portion of the dash. And most importantly, it did not look factory. At the same time, the blank panel on the overhead console has been there forever. It might be a good location for the scangauge.
1.3 Design and Fabrication
The most challenging work is to match the curved surfaces on the bottom of the overhead console.
Multiple parts have been printed to perfect the fitment.
1.4 Purchase List to Complete the Installation
To complete the installation, the following items will be needed.
Ethernet Cable Extender Adapter
Ethernet Extension Cable (Up Angle)
For a smooth finish, you will need:
3M Bondo 801 Professional Glazing and Spot Putty, 3.0 oz.
Note: Dry sand only. The printing material will warp if exposed to excessive water.
Paint
1.5 Purchase Link
$75 + USPS Priority. PM for Direct Paypal Payment.

Received the Make 6: Change Pocket Mount V6 - the one that uses the RAM Diamond Ball Base - yesterday from @BenCC.
Just went out and installed it before it got dark and wanted to quickly report back that it looks like it is going to work out perfectly.
Seems pretty solid and secure. Off-road test will tell. I'll take some photos tomorrow when it's light and post later.
The main reason I decided to give it a try was to move the tablet down lower into the cabin vs. using it up on the dash with a RAM Mount Double Suction Cup Base (see below).

So I hate to ask a dumb question, but seeing the posts in the classifieds made me question myself before purchasing - Do the overhead console makes also fit the overhead consoles with the garage door remote holder (with the rectangular cut out)? They look identical to the sunglasses holder consoles to me, but wanted to verify with someone who knows better. Thanks in advance!
Another thread today suggested a delete kit for LC wind fairing. I’d be all over one for a whale tail delete on late model LX. I can’t open my hatch with a surfboard on top. Maybe exterior parts can be a new joint operation w/ @suprarx7nut?
Yeah, @BenCC and I have been in communication a few weeks back. My materials are too expensive for low stress interior parts, but they'd be perfect for exterior parts where some strength is needed.
Any work on the subwoofer panel.
Did that mount replace a sunglass holder or Homelink?
I have the homelink and am trying to figure out if the Scanguage II mount will work or not..
Sunglass holder, but I think it has some kind of HomeLink type bits on it. I honestly don't know what it was for. I just took the whole thing out.
