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.
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.

Hi Doug
Plenty of info here when I did my trailer.

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.
