Exotic front diff install kit

[joco]

So I blew up my front diff on my 2005 LX. I got the correct replacement ring and pinion from Nitro but can't seem to find a master install kit for the front. I'm trying to stay away from the high $ of the dealership and all just differentails shows are for the rear. Anyone know who to order them from? I needed it yesterday. Thanks

The kit I got from Carl had everything needed. Not sure how that works if you're not re-gearing but I'd start with him. They know gears and know 100s.

Well I figured it out.

Well I figured it out.

Explaining where you went wrong may help other board members with the same issue. I'm guessing you just ordered the kit from Carl? That kit comes with everything you need.

Basically they should have never let a redneck buy an LX.
Well with the combination of my limited knowledge of differentials and my blood-alcohol content, I assumed my 9.5" ring gear meant I should order a 9.5" Toyota install kit. This is not the case. If I would have just read the full description it even says REAR diff install kit. Just Diffentials offers the correct kit (8") for $271 compared to over $500 from Lexus. Long story short I'm just dumb and didn't read. (And yes, I paid almost $100 to overnight the wrong part as well ). Can't wait to finish my build. "Hey yall watch this"
