2wd 100 series

[Ryan Marley]

so I broke my front diff playing rough last weekend. Pulled it all out and the ring and pinion was destroyed. Problem I'm facing is it's also my commuter and my diff guy is in Baja for a couple weeks and won't be able to have it done for 3 to 4weeks. I just put it all back together minus the axles, carrier, and drive line. I found a set of dust caps to plug up the axle hole in the spindle. Anybody see any reason why I can't run it like this for a few weeks?
Thanks ahead for any input.

May want to shove a rag in the back side of the spindle to keep the dirt out. Did the same for another guys 100 while waiting for a new dif.

I actually grabbed a couple steel dust covers off a 2wd tundra and pressed those in.

i believe you're right. They press in if you pull your seal out. I chose to leave the seal in and built a crude bracket that utilizes a threaded hole on the spindle and presses the cover in place.

Ryan-I admire your junkyard searching skills- and luck. You dug up a good solution.

Lol. I was looking for a motor for a friends chevy when I saw a tundra spindle from a distance. I was like "oh yeah". That's what I need!!!
