You will need to change your spindles for a start if they are Toymota spindles. If you have a std type trailer axle, you can get landrover hubs to suit.
You need to find out what axle type you have and see if you can get LR old 5 bolt hubs or the newer pattern with smaller bolt centres.

Have a look at Martin's Trailer Parts (http://www.trailerparts.net.au/).
Be aware that they carry the early LR pattern, but the hubs only suit trailer bearings and are not actual or equivalent LR hubs.

The PCD on the D2 rims is a lot smaller (120mm from memory) so depending on the axle/bearing size you may need to change a lot more than the hub to make it fit. The D1/Defender is OK as it has a 165mm PCD.

Get new brake hubs made to suit your axle in 120 PCD with M14 studs, which are Land Cruiser studs anyway, even though they say 9/16, i'd be fairly confident they will be M14, same as the D2 stud, i can't see toyota using imperial threads on their cars.

Hi Baz
100 Series are 14mm,anything earlier may not be 14mm.My D2 nuts only fitted the 100ser studs when I bought mine for the trailer.
