This is the beginning of a new interior buildout in our 1993 Toyota HDJ80 (80 series) Land Cruiser. After installing the Campteq pop-top conversion, the interior was in need of a redesign:

First step is making sure we have a strong and level foundation to build everything onto. I had a spare sheet of 3/4in prefinished birch plywood from a previous build which would work perfectly. The baseplate needed to have a seam, so in order to make the seam strong and ‘seamless’, made and recessed a 1/4in aluminum plate. Im very happy with how this all turned out and it feels good to have a strong foundation for the build moving forward.
