I've been chatting with a firm in Australia which makes complete carpet kits for the 40/60/55/70/80 series Land Cruisers.

http://stores.ebay.com/AUTO-DOWNUNDER

This is a set of molded carpets and DOES NOT include mats. The kits are $127-$151 depending on the model. They are very close to OEM and come with a reinforced vinyl heel square for the driver's side, sou you have to specify RHD or LHD as well as model/colour.

The kicker is that the shipping is about $110 per kit to Canada. But that can be substantially reduced if we can order 5 or more kits. The upside is that they ship via airmail, so this isn't one of those Australia deals where your grandchildren will have to drive you to the post office in their rocket-car to pick up the boxes.

Anyone else SERIOUSLY interested? I'm trying to see if we can get them for $180-$200 per kit including shipping plus taxes/duties. I can order them through my corporation and save on PST and maybe some other fees as well.

I don't mind doing the legwork on this, but I'm going to insist that everybody interested pay 100% of the retail/shipping before I order, and everybody has to understand they are responsible for their share of the duty/taxes, etc. Ask me about the time I ended up with seven unwanted racing helmets. Of course if the deal doesn't work I'll refund everybody's money (it's a small island, even with a LC to help a guy hide).

For you guys on the Mainland, I can throw these kits on the bus or ferry for about $12.00-18.00 per box once they've arrived in Victoria.

email me if you're interested: theironyuppy@hotmail.com


Cheers,

Do you have any pics for the 40 and 60 series available?

I would love to find 60 series carpet, would it come with the rear carpet? Loop, cut or pile?

It's loop. I don't have any pics, but if you fish in the link from the OP you might find some.
 
I am interested in this one for my LWB Nissan Safari (Patrol): http://cgi.ebay.com/Quality-Moulded...7612372QQihZ008QQcategoryZ32063QQcmdZViewItem Spilt a few liters of used motor oil in the back. :eek: Nothing could get the stain out.

The listing on e-bay doesn't seem to offer different one's for the LWB or SWB models. Can you ask him if the carpet covers the whole truck - including the cargo area - on the LWB or just the seating area? If so, I am in on this one.

If anyone is looking for carpets for a BJ 70 (1985), the truck i am parting out has some OEM carpets in it that are in V/G condition....great condition from front to back, with no rot, could use a shampoo. They are Blue/grey in color..

Best Regards

I have some of those, they are ok, good quality. Probably the same that you would get from SOR. Did you do a price comparison?

SOR is selling what appears to be the same exact kit for $400
