hey bud i thought i read somewhere that the newer 4.8L patrols come with hand brake in the rear disc and callipers, there is a possibility that you may be able to bolt them to yuor housing, but id sugest you get all the specs on disk sice, and caliper mounting bolt specs first,

im only taking a stab in the dark here

I just have no idea about brakes, but im gonna try ansd use it for something seeing as its there......... (ive already got a handbrake on the transfer)

to suit hilux

Description
Transmission Brakes are a easy bolt on application with no welding or grinding needed.
The full change over only take about 1/2 hour.
The major benefit is no more fading or seized handbrake due to mud and water entering the shoes and cable setup.
Once this setup is fitted you will have a trouble free handbrake setup from then on.
