Mate did this to his, exact same ln130 V6, he got sick of blowing the front diff with 35s on so went to a beam axle. Mind you, he also chopped his into a double cab just cos he liked the style of deck on my hilux lol

there are plenty of people who have done the conversion. I only got mine done by Tom from Tom's Offroad as i went for a linked setup and the geometry is a little hard to get right. Tom did an awesome job. Have a look at his work in the suspension section in the vendors area.
