I just bought an 1997 LX450. I am arranging to strip away all things pink.
I strongly dislike having the spare tire beneath the truck. I've always thought the Defender series method of having a dished/recessed hood with spare tire mounted within it to be an efficient method of using space.
Mounting a spare tire on factory (OEM) LX450/fzj80 hoods would be difficult-to-impossible because the [Defender's] recess is not present.
Does anyone make a replacement (after-market) hood that either accepts a hood-mounted tire carrier, or makes a hood-with-carrier after market?
