toyota style flanges instead of freewheeling or auto hubs are available and often standard on patrols around the world.

Country i've seen pics of them the most from is the middle east (UAE in particular)

dunno if they're any good but there's definitely nothing wrong with having a patrol's front end constantly spinning with the wheels even if there's no transfer case drive. many blokes claim their vehicles get the wobbles and huge amounts of noise from the front end when driving with hubs locked in 2wd - i reckon that's just wear rather than not being able to cope with it. the increase in fuel useage would be negligible - you'd see more of a decrease by fitting mud tyres IMHO.
