Differential swap (1 Viewer)

[MissahPapaJ]

So the long short of it is I’ve got a torn lower arm mount on the front diff housing and now I’m looking for a new housing. Yes I know I could just fab up a new mounting bracket but the housing is purdy well flogged and now I want to find a new assembly so I can gusset it before I install it on the whip.
That being said I have a 1997 80 and I was wondering what year range I can use, I’m guessing 1994-1997? But I’m betting someone knows better than I.
Cheers!!

I think there was a thread not to long ago a guy bought a new oem housing.

I bought a rear new OEM housing during one of Toyota's national 25% off sale.

front axle /w locker for my truck: 4311060400
front axle /wo locker for my truck: 4311060380

According to the web, both have a vehicle fitment of 1992-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser

Personally, I would confirm what I wrote...

That's kinda crazy my buddy has a 94fzj80 with a simi floating axle in it.

Yea, I think the rear has a much shorter year range compared to the front.

I believe Trail Taylor sells radius arm brackets you could just weld in

Partsouq has the front w/locker in stock. Prior to shipping it is $1116.43 after shipping $1498.22. Not bad considering it is coming from UAE.

Is this the diff or the axle housing?

Just the axle housing. I used @NeverFinis PN that he provided.

I order a ton of stuff from PartSouq, but I am not sure I would order an axle housing from them. They do package very well though...

The rear axle housing I ordered from a local Toyota dealership was damaged during shipping. Easy to refuse paying for it on the spot and they just ordered another one. Not easy, or inexpensive, to return an axle internationally...

Yes I have radius arm brackets, but if the bracket was indeed "TORN" I'd say the axle is more than likely bent now and would recommend a replacement housing. New or used.
