Yes but front may have mounts for moke bumper and sump guard depending on the model, rear trailing arms are longer on the moke but rear subframes the same.

Wasnt worried about the sump gaurd but true about the Bumper brackets. I will use the moke subs. Didn't realize the trailing arms are longer so must use them ;)
Did I hear rite you were selling the Rebels?

Yes sold them, boomini now has them.

Easy enough to get some mounts fabricated up and welded to a mini subframe, I did that with my recent resto as the original subframe was well and truely munted.

If you're leaving the moke on 10's (or 12's/13's with low profile tyres that fit on a mini) then you don't have to worry about the trailing arms. They only made them longer to clear the big chunky 13's.

When the longer trailing arms were fitted to the Moke, The Rear Guard was changed at the very rear of the Moke to accommodate the larger wheels. 10 inch wheel Moke the rear Guard was vertical, and on the Big wheel Moke the rear guard was angled. The EXPORT Moke rear guards were stepped
