Toyota FJ40 Tire Carrier & Cooler Rack

Introduction: Please be aware that the dimensions of my rack should only be used as a reference. My rig is a 1976 model, with the stock tire carrier on the drivers side, so the directions will reflect that. I also built the cooler tray to fit a steel belted 54qt. Coleman cooler. You may have to alter the dimensions of the cooler tray and/or the left and right racks to fit. Also note that I built mine to accommodate a 35" spare. The left half swings open first, then the right half. I have aluminum diamond plate corners and the dress piece that fits under the doors. If you are going to install diamond plate, I would suggest that you do that first.
