Overview
The BajaRack Land Cruiser 80 Expedition Rack, part number BAEBRTLC80EXP, is a roof rack for the 1990–1997 Toyota Land Cruiser that is built to carry a folding-style roof top tent.
The flat platform holds the roof top tent, and a small basket at the front holds essential gear and fuel. The rack mounts on the vehicle’s rain gutters and attaches directly to the body frame, and BajaRack says no drilling is needed. The outer frame is 1 inch tubing and the flooring is cold roll steel tubing.
The rack includes all mounts, stainless steel hardware and two aluminum wind deflectors. The deflectors are designed to reduce noise and drag at highway speed, which helps on long trips with a tent and gear on the roof.
The rack fits the 1990–1997 Toyota Land Cruiser, the Land Cruiser 80 series named in the product name.

Roof load and tent setup
A roof top tent adds weight high on the vehicle, so how you load the rack matters. Keep heavier gear low and centered on the platform, and avoid stacking loads that will shift on washboard roads. The front basket suits items you reach for often, such as fuel and small tools, while bulky bags belong inside the vehicle.
Rain gutter mounts depend on the gutters being sound. Before each trip, check that the gutters are free of cracks, that the mounts seat evenly, and that the stainless steel hardware is snug. Wind deflectors help with noise and drag at highway speed, but their fasteners should be checked alongside the mounts after the first miles of use.
- Keep heavy items low and centered
- Re-check gutter mounts before long trips
- Inspect deflector fasteners for vibration wear
