Got the 24 inch one, it fit perfect and works awesome! The idea was posted on one of these threads a while ago. Just used it tonight to check my oil, I think it is brighter under the hood than in my garage...

Replaced LSPV, replaced plugs, wires, dist cap and rotor. Bled brakes. Got the tools to install my dorkel. That goes on tomorrow. Replaced PCV valve, grommet, and both hoses on my other 80, and bypassed charcoal canister.
Soldered wiring harness and finished with shrink-wrap.
Today's project will be to install Kicker Hideaway sub and new cables. I will keep updated on progress. Also bought a bunch of Dynamat to sound deaden.
I test fit my new SUV Explorer 2. Fits well on the 80 however the rear hatch (top) isn't quite wide enough to fill the corners of the tent. I got the larger version. I just cut a long piece of thin wood with a strip of soft rubber to run over the back of the hatch (over the LandCruiser text).....works perfectly. The tent sure does make for a lot of extra space and if one was resourceful you could easily extent the length with some kind of makeshift tailgate and hatch extension. You could probably get another foot or so out of it. My hatch shocks are little weak with the tension of the tent so I had to make a pole stop. All in all.......can't wait to get out for some camping and this should work well with my side/rear tent.
Installed some GTP hood vents, fixed the snorkel that was pulled out of the pillar mount at GSMTR this summer and relocated the winch solenoid under the hood then went wheeling with a bunch of friends at the Southern Cruiser Crawl event in Hot Springs and had a blast as usual
I will start another thread on the install so I dont clutter up this one, but there are a bunch of things I have learned along the way. The biggest disappointment has been that once you get the iPhone 5, you HAVE to redo the whole USB cable configuration and buy one of their kits for over $100 if you want to use AppRadio.
Also, the parking brake wire safety feature makes no sense for Waze. It does not let you use Waze unless you are parked. Since it is a NAV system, it completely makes no sense. Sooo, I am now in the process of overriding it. In the separate post I will detail how to do that.
