Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Started working on my newly aquired Bundera on Monday...

...and by the end of Tuesday it was like this.

So now we are to clean and strip the chassis, give it a lick of paint and at the same time looking at replacing the rear drum setup to disc brakes.
Am I right in saying the Bundera uses Hilux diffs/axles etc. So would it be possible the replace it with a Hilux rear disc ass?

The Bundy is very very very similar to a Hilux rear axle set up. I have done a few disc rear ends for Bundies a few years ago and the same conversion was used but from memory the wheel mounting flange is thinner on a Bundy compared to a Hilux so you need to space the wheel studs so the wheel nut dont run out of thread.

Be even more jealous, the shed is twice as wide as what you can see. The Bundera is pretty much in the middle of it.

Aren't wheel spacers illegal?

They are also a foot wider - which is not a bad thing...

Doesn't anybody else have factory wheel spacers

I wrote "STUD" spacer's so you don't run out of thread when tightening the wheel nuts. The studspacers go between the head of the wheel stud and the axle wheel flange.

Prado has rear disc brake with semi-floating axles and 5 link
