There are several FJ's that have done the SAS. All-Pro Off-Road even sells a complete kit that should work on the Prado. Also check out http://www.fjcruiserforum.com and search SAS. There is a list with how to make the conversion using common US automakers parts.
Good luck,

Ellem's Prado had a (now discontinued) BBM spacer kit, basically the same as the one Snake Racing offers for Hilux's, it just drops the diff 4" extending all the brackets and links between the wishbones, with some longer coils out back.
I bought the Superlift version for my 4Runner, although I sold it before I had the kit fitted, lol.[url=http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=29022]My Prado[/url]

Re: Solid axle Conversion
At 12k I'm not surprised they're seldom seen. I remember getting quotes for my old 4Runner, the most elaborate setup with full 5-link and coilover shocks was about $4800, I'll stick with IFS I think, lol.[url=http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=29022]My Prado[/url]

Re: Solid axle Conversion
Jared,
I seen a new model Hi-Lux in 4X4 monthly a little while ago that had a S A S, was a plumber so he needed it to get on to house site as he reckoned, what a load of bull s#*t. So if ya can con the tax department into giving you an ABN so you do up your 4by for rock crawling then maybe you could get the rest of us Innocent tax payers, who perform their civic duty for this great country, to fund it for ya.

Re: Solid axle Conversion
Can claim G S T back on the vehicle purchase and the upgrades and then they can claim a percentage rate, about 10 or 12 percent, for the deprecating value of the vehicle, including mods, over the next 5 yrs.
