bit of an old post, but only just saw this now, what did it cost you for the disk brake conversion and did it change the stud pattern? Also where are the alternate CWP ratio's available? i believe they only came in 5.99 and 6.99 from factory depending on 4x4 or 6x6 - 5.1 and a change of high range ratios in the my transfer would make them much more usable on road - along with disk brake conversion.

The Tigerexped disc conversion was around 3000 euro for the 6x6 but you get new hubs, lines, callipers and wheels as well. It would be worth contacting Martin Henning to see if he is doing another run of these. The alternative is Kamo Oco Vidi in Croatia who also do a disc brake conversion + 5:1 CW&P. I’ve not bought stuff from these guys but it looks good. I’m going to see them in Oct because they do an interesting diff lock actuator for the volvo axles, replaces the vacuum diaphragms
