My Euro HZJ-73 rebuild "Green Bean"

[dogfishlake]

Has anyone heard of a replacement flooring source for these trucks? Looks like the carpet is nla. I would need one for LHD too. My carpet isn’t terrible but I would love to replace it

I've been working on trying to get a couple carpet options from Australia but it has been a bit tough. @AussieHJCruza has been helping. There are a few that have molds for the MWB 70. They typically come uncut so they would be able to be used RHD or LHD although there is some reinforcement we were trying to see if they could move to the other side. Seems like many of the companies are a bit slow to respond and not easy to work with. I'm hoping it comes through, if not, I'm definitely curious if there are other options out there.

Front vinyl flooring in gray is available from your local Toyota dealership and is unisex.

It's proving to be a bit of a nuisance, seems all they want to sell is vinyl!

Found a place that has reproduction pvc flooring if your interested I’ll dig it up. Personally I’m wanting to ditch the carpet especially because it rains and snows so much in my area that it just stays wet.

Oem would be my first choice.

Wish I could find some good molded rubber mats to go on top of he flooring!

That could be an option if oem doesn't happen, thank you.

Onur @OGBeno , is the flooring you are talking about from a newer model 70 series? I haven't called my dealer yet but I am preparing for the fact that they barely know what a Land Cruiser is, let alone a 70 series! Or, if you know the part number and don't mind sharing that would be very appreciated.
