Hi mate. Unfortunatly haven't bought the wheels yet. The fabricator sat on a wheel he had the other day which was 255 x 60 with a 3 1/8 back space and they fit but little tight on the bottom corners of the outer guards. Might have to give them a slight lip.

Good to see this project going ahead I'm keen to see some more updates.
Did you just modify the factory caliper brackets to fit the falcon calipers to the hilux diff?

Hi mate. All i did was weld on ford axel flanges to the diff housing so the caliper bracket could bolt straight on.

Cheers

Hey fellas. Sad to say im rubbish at finishing my build but glad to admit im still pushing along bit by bit and have alot more motivation due to finally having my own garage after 3 years.

The engine has had new mounts made up so it sits further back to give me more clearance with intercooler/radiator/thermo fan.

The project has taken a slight direction which is to go e85 instead of lpg.

Good to see an update Ez.
 
I wondered if you still had it.
 
I've switched to E85 for the new build as well.  Gets costly redoing the entire fuel system to PTFE.
 
I'll have to post some updates as there are a lot of new parts waiting to be assembled.
