I believe that’s possible, Slee racing swapped a solid axel for the front ifs on a 2000 model year with a
V8 So I think it’s possible, look at the link below.

Btw why don’t you swap a diesel engine in it??

Anything is possible with enough money
IIRC, the 105 series has a frame very similar to the 80 series. Slee has done a 2UZ-FE swap in to an 80 series so it should definitely fit between the frame rails and have clearance. Can't really offer any more info than that though. 40s do seem to be pushing close to the limits of the land cruiser axles can withstand from what i have read on the 80s. Do able, but pushing it.
If it was me, i would try to swap in a 1HD-FTE since they are available in Aus. These were only fitted on 100s so you would have more or less the same amount of fabricating work to get it to mate up. You can probably sell the 2UZ to recoup some of the money if it is still good.
I would guess that the Slee swap from IFS to SAS would probably run in the neighborhood of $20-25k judging by the work and parts that went into that. Awesome though!
Hmm, but 38-40" tires to me means rock crawler. For that purpose, I think N/A or supercharged gasser would be more desirable over a turbo diesel.
