Will a PRADO rear axle complete with rear disks fit a 3rd gen surf?

I believe the Prado is built on the 3rd gen running gear, so I would say .....yes.

I was tempted by this mod but then i started thinking about the brakes and ABS...and if it would all work with the Surf system. Surely there must be some difference with the ABS...? The Surf only has one brake line to the rear brakes (it splits on the rear axle). I was wondering if the Colorado/Prado has two lines, and if the ABS controller was different in any way. I never looked any further into it. Oh and the handbrake would be different too I expect.

[da SLUG man]

which end do you wanna fit it??

i'd imagine maybe a few minor mods for rear fitting...

front, would be fine if you wanted drum brakes and straight line driving only!

I may change it as rear disks sound a better option to me. I'll let you know if i intend to do it.
