I'd be interested to know myself as I thought there wasn't a hub/drum replacement for the M416 that converted from five lug to six lug that matches bolt pattern of LC wheels. One that not only converted to six lug but still allowed the hand brake to work would be great.

I called the company just waiting to hear back from them
10" hub/drum, 6 studs 5.5" bolt circle using L68149 inner and L44649 outer bearing. Contains inner bearing, outer bearing, seal, grease cap and lug nuts. (84 Spindle)
Price: $48.95 should work I hope

I have to call Monday with the old bearing numbers then they can conferm these will work on the 416 axle.

 

[landcrusher909]

Well that didnt work out called them today and the bearings dont match the 416 spindle

Thanks for checking into it.

I did find they sell a replacement spindle the would mean cutting off the orginal and then the replacement drum 5.5. 6 bolt hub would work. I am going to keep checking there still might be a replacement somewhere

Guess I'll continue to run the stock rims. That's for checking into this Rob. Would have been great to find a direct bolt to convert to the LC bolt pattern.

Thanks John, yeah I got new inner tubes installed and repacked the wheel bearings. Checking into new springs next week then build some brackets for the ARB roof top tent

Rob I was able to install a FJ60 spare tire carrier using the front to holes in the front spring perches and shimming the other bolts to match and drive two holes in the frame. I'm using one of the original rim/tires as spare. You run anything bigger I doubt it would work with the folding leg.

Great idea John, I am going to have to find another rim.
