Curious about this. Why wouldn't anyone sell you the diff drop? Are they only selling as part of a full lift kit?
I have a diff drop and was underneath the land cruiser today replacing the front skid plate that Discount Tires used as a jack point. Also had to remove the rear/mid heavy plastic skid plate and twisted off the two bolts that secure the skid plate to the diff drop. After removing the skid plate I noticed the diff drop coating was peeling with corrosion, and suspect the corrosion may have been the cause of the two bolts seizing up. Seemed odd that the diff drop coating would flake off as badly as it was. I don't think there is a huge urgency to do so, but with the corrosion, I thought I'd work towards replacing the diff drop.
I came across your post when doing some research on diff drop options. Curious why you have not been able to purchase just a diff drop and am now wondering if I'll have the same issue.
I inquired with 3 companies.
2- never called me back
1- said I didn't need it... so A) either they are out of stock, B) not selling them anymore or C) I was talking to an idiot that should be fired. My vote is C!
I don't have patience, especially when I want/need something. I've got mine all laid out now and will get it into production in the next 30 days.
