Welcome. I’m not able to answer most of your questions but ref wheels and ground clearance As far as I am aware both the short and std wheelbases come with full size spares matching the rest. One thing to note is that the 5dr has the spare underneath and the 3dr has it on the rear door. I...

Fun to watch someone else’s build from the start. Have you seen the Hiace conversions using 80 series running gear in Aus? Bus 4x4 Conversion of Hiace LWB Van - Bus 4x4 - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Though still smaller than a Sprinter.
