Get ahold of laynrockers (John) and he can machine your spindles to accept the toyota hubs. Its the best way to go about the swap in the front. I think that he can get you the right hubs too. Great guy, great work, great prices, period. As for the rear, you just need the rear end of the toyota but I can't remember what year exactly, i'm sure someone else will chime in with the years.

I have always had good luck with simply using 89 to 95 Toyota hubs on the stock Hardbody spindles, but I have heard from a few people that they had some problems. You might want to do some more homework and see what type of problems others have had.

I sell a premade chromoly hubs, bolts on, no messing around guessing parts. www.nolimitscustoms.com. They are in stock ready to ship, lots of guys on here use them on Nissan and mazdas.

Heard nothing but good things about LayinRockers work, as well as Mike Brott. I haven't had any work done by them though.

I can attest to the Hubs by Toyboy89( Clint ). I have the hubs on my Mazda and have had no trouble what so ever. Worth the money just for the ease of install.

the problems that we are having, as i have encountered these last year is b/c the yota hub is physically 1/4 of an inch deeper then a yota hub, the hub will sit out over the spindle threads some, not giving it a solid place to seat, this is allowing the wheel bearings to go early and in some cases, it has allowed the rear bearing to just scare the shit out of the spindle shaft, from not riding on it evenly.

Yeah what P said is true with the 89-95 hubs. We machine the inner hubs out so the bearings seat better on the axle and line up better in the caliper,

From memory its 2mm out of the back and 1mm from the front(comes close to 1/4").
