Oh thats right... the guy (he hasn't piped up, so I'm not going to
reveal his identity ;-)   who I was talking to was hoping to find that
one of the other Toyota wheel hubs would bolt on (or could be
made to bolt on).   ...either the straight axle wheel hubs or the IFS
wheel hub.

I'm interested to know the width of that rear end (to the edge of the
wheel hub where the wheel would bolt up I suppose, since none of
us would run dually wheels  :-).

It would be nice to get access to one and see if any of the common
(4wd bolt pattern) wheel hubs would bolt on.
