Hi Guys!
So I recently bought this custom trailer and it appears to be on a small HF chassis (or something similar).
It looks like it is the 4' x 8' version. I have a 2010 4Runner as my tow vehicle and am hoping to get this thing ready to go down some fire roads / light offroad trails to get to various camping locations (no rock crawling!) and I think the first large step is to get some real wheels and tires on her. I want to match to my 4Runner with 17" VTX Offroad Viper wheels on 285/70/17 Toyo Open Country AT2's.
I know this is overkill most likely, but having matching spares to my TV seems smart, and I know it would lift the trailer to match my 4Runner and get it much better clearance. Plus these little trailer tires are so small!
My question is, after a lot of google searching and looking through here I am kind of fuzzy on how to get this done. The hub is a 4 lug and I need to get to a 6x139.7 Toyota size hub. I see many 4 to 5 lug adapters out there but no 4 to 6 lug adapters. Can I simply switch the hubs to the 4Runner's front hubs (probably expensive but oh well). I know the backspacing would be an issue as well so would I need a longer/wider axel altogether? Is this hub kit from Dexter K08-250-90: Hub-Drum Kit http://beta.dexteraxle.com/products/Hub ... b-hub-drum what I need? Do I need to find a shop that will do this whole thing custom for me (whole new axle/hub etc?).
Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse here with this question. I can't seem to "search" my way into the right answer.
Thanks for the guidance folks!
