What are your thoughts on spare tire mount?

@trexoffroad So far so good. I really like it. Only gotten a few 1000 miles on it but it seems to be holding up just fine. Like the YouTube video mentions its just the landing pad brace that rusts that bothers me. I put some grease on it temporarily which seems to have fixed it. But I spoke with the owner of JWoffroad and he is working on a new design.
Thanks! I did see that rust area and I was thinking maybe a stainless plate there would do the trick. I have one ordered from JWO and am looking forward to getting it.

stainless would be perfect even a very thin piece. They are looking into delrin as well.

Cleaning up some surface rust on the rear door bolts. Always bothered me. Thought I would try red since they are not seen...
Is the block under the seat also 1/2" thick?
Sorry your link just takes me to a login page with what I think is your order ID.
Is this the item?

The perforated leather doesn't quite look like yours.
Thanks!

Yep same thickness as the rest of it. 1/2”.
try searching for “Shining wheat Hand-stitched Black Leather Steering Wheel Cover for Old Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120”
Maybe this link will work. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32780...edetail&spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.2cd1c2d2YCMDFi
Thanks!
@subspd Love your box design! Do you have it secured to the floor at all to prevent movement while offroading/during a crash? If so, how do you have it secured?

Thanks! ...yes. Removed the factory tie downs and the counter sink holes in the bottom of the box. 4 35x10mm bolts into the factory holes holds it all in place.
Love the KISS approach. I have been brainstorming on how to secure a box back there and that is definitely the simplest! Probably the path I should go as well, I just get nervous about getting the holes exactly lined up perfectly after dumping money on baltic birch. Thanks for sharing your excellent build!

Yeah I measured 10x in the end I found a little slot of the hole helped to get it perfectly aligned before tightening it down.
I anchored my drawers the same way. If you're worried about getting the holes drilled incorrectly, put holes on a piece of cardboard first and confirm then fit. Then overlay the cardboard on your birch ply to confirm the placement is the same, then drill.
