I hope this is common knowledge and my LBS doesnt look at me sideways when I ask him not to build my bike using a repair stand.
So glad I joined up in this community!

Midway I am going to sell my rack, mine, only a few years old, has the same miserable rubber straps as yours.
Im selling it and hope my Uhaul installed tow hitch doesn't cause any problems to my 2014 civic, and speaking of that car, it has big area after rear fold down, just have to release the wheel
I also have an Audi A4 wagon (2002) and a GMC Sierra truck available to borrow at any time. At least it will fit inside your Land Cruiser.
