That was fast! Looking good. Are you talking about swapping the ifs wheel hubs, and calipers, and using landcruiser rotors? That's what I did on mine to make the front axel the same width as the ifs rear, and to upgrade the brakes to the slotted rotors.

I've never tried it, the only difference in the two is just the ifs one is wider, it should work. Otherwise the swap I mentioned above you would just need the LC rotors ($50 at O'reilly's for the pair)then you just reuse the ifs wheel hubs and calipers. You have to drill the ifs hub bolt pattern into the new LC rotors, but its pretty easy, and you'd have to drill out the mounting holes in the calipers and the knuckles to 1/2" diameter and buy new bolts and locknuts... but for around $60 its worth it and cost less than buying wheel spacers!

How do you like the new driveline? I just got done fabbing up a temporary front driveline until I can afford a new long spline one. X2 on Toyospearo's front axel thread, helped me out a lot also!

Nice work, its looking good! So on the driveline, did you have to remove your double cargan joint from your old driveline and weld it onto the new TG driveline? Just curious what it comes with, or what is needed, thanks!
