I originally bought two gas springs of 225lb but they are to strong since I am not using the roof tent at this...
Since I keep the original hub I still using the brakes but we chance and extend the tong of the trailer so we had to change the position and some pieces of the brake hardware in order to make it work.
Here are some pictures of what we did:

From the Bottom
Working on the lights... New lights and Wiring...
This are 3/4" Side Light Marker Amber (Led)
I change the tail lights for this new Tail Lights - Gama Goat Style
Yes, I keep using the same 5 lug hub but we convert it to 6 lug, we did some drilling to chance the pattern because I want to keep the original brake and use the same spare tire of my Prado.
the tailgate latches are from a Toyota Hitlux 1998.
I will post more pictures of the tongue extension...
