Don't have any of the King Pin Bearing Eliminators at the moment, but going to get some more.
There are designed to be used with High Steer arms as they press into the top arm

Re: KZN185 surf aux tank?
Been looking into it myself.
95 series prado the tank is central behind the rear diff.
The prado runs the same chassie
Then be the matter of duel fillers and switch for tank change or linked fuel cells

Re: LJ 71 Bundera front diff
I have done it but you will have to get new carrier bearings.
I can't remember the exact size but it is not a normal genuine fit.
You will need the ID of the carrier and the OD of the housing.
Take both bearings to a bearing shop they should have em in stock

Hey all ive wikied info on both engines but hasnt been much help. I previously owned a 2003 doublecab with the 5z-fe, but looking at a later model surf than my current kzn185. obviously the 1gr is more powerful. More torque. And a pretty reliable engine.

Re: solid axle swap VZN185 surf
The 185 chassie rails are wider. This makes it Harder to fit the shock towers and link arm assembly into the small gap, and for the geometry to work properly. There is not much margin for error. All I say is do your homework first. There is a heap of things to take into consideration when doing this...
