I can literally go from the driver's seat to being in a comfortable bed in 5 minutes and it takes only about 10 to get back on the road. That's a big plus for me on road trips.
As with others, I like the reduced worry of animals. It's not perfect, but it provides some peace of mind and sounder sleep for me.
Different strokes for different folks and different gear for different jobs. I use a ground tent too, when that's a better fit.

I put on the Westcott rack on mine. Drove down to North county San Diego and saw 26.2 mpg on the way down, 24.3 on the way back. I didn't realize that going South was downhill, haha!View attachment 14990
Thanks for sharing who makes that ladder. It looks like one of the few (maybe only?) back ladders for the LC that still allows the rear hatch window to be used. Also having flat steps is good--I don't care for round ladder rungs. Toyota should have given us a sliding rear window like the 4Runner, in my opinion. Now let's see some Rotopax attachment solutions that fit on the factory FE roof rack, such as Molle panels, that won't interfere with awnings, etc.Widdle Wadder reporting for duty
BTW, I was able to move my Ironman "quick-release" setup for two ARB awnings from my previous 4R TDR Pro with the tubular rack over to the LC but had to have custom mounting brackets made and installed. Here are a few initial photos.

Why not just stand on the tire
How did you mount the ikamper without raised mounting brackets or raised crossbars? Thanks
The GX550 has different roof rails for the Overtrail and non-Overtrail versions. Only the Overtail has the same rails as the Landcruiser. You need to get the Overtail roof rack (PT97060243) to put on a Landcruiser.

Thank you.
Loosened the side rails to start threading the bolts and then just used extension (DEWALT Magnetic Screwdriving Bit Holder Individual) to tighten them.
Thanks for response and explaining your way. It is low profile but harder to put in and remove.
I always take off the RTT right after trip, so I will use the raised mounting brackets/crossbar to have more room (hand reaching) to install.
