Hello all, first post here, Just thought id Introduce my self first, I am Lance, I am from South Wales, UK and my Dad owns a modified Hilux Vigo (2006) which I drive 95% of the time lol.

The Jeep has all cosmetic Modifications I have seen on any Hilux in the UK, inlcuding a few bits and pieces I am yet to see on another Hilux. The engine is over 200bhp and is great, All in all we love this vehicle, hoever, one thing is a bit "dodgy", the brakes seem to be a little subtle for her.

I was wondering If anybody has any tips or advice on uprating the braking system on such a vehicle, I spoke to one fella on line and he claimed that Lancruiser rear disk brakes can be used to replace the rear Hilux Drum brakes?.

I appreciate any help, heres a few pics:
