Correct. What @lowenbrau said. Short side is the same through 1998-1999ish (depending on market).

Long side will be 70 specific.

RH: 42311-60053
RH w/diff lock (longer splines): 42311-60081
LH: 42312-60043

All of these are available in the US market. Though one will need a valid HS-7 for parts release.


Thought 42311-60081 been NLA for a long time. I did buy one from a local Toyota dealer, this was after Toyota got funny about selling non US market parts. Now hoping to find a second one for a pair of cable locking diffs. I have both 60 and 70 series front left side already.
 
According to PartSouq for my 1995 HZJ75 with FF rear:


RH: 42311 60080 (FF w/diff lock)
LH: 42312 60042 (FF, no option for a different part number with Diff lock)
Neither of which are available in any case.

PartSouq doesn't mention any of these for my application:
RH: 42311-60053
RH w/diff lock (longer splines): 42311-60081
LH: 42312-60043

It does show 43211-60080 as a substitution for ...81
and ...42 a substitution for 42312-60043

Again, none of these are available.
 
You can get -60081 from the Toyota Heritage Parts Program out of Japan.



And what would be the cost to get one to AZ? Didn't think you could buy directly from Japan and have that large of an item shipped here. Thought a third party have to be a middle man driving the cost way up. Remember thousands for a piece of exhaust.

Pay to play. I'd talk with David Stedman at Japan4x4

Pay to play or greed? Been at this on the consumer side for over forty-nine years. This used to be a common man's hobby. Over two thousand dollars for a small section of exhaust more Jay Leno. Could afford the part but can't bring myself to support where it's going.
 
Not sure I would say the ship has sailed on all parts. As for he Heritage Program not sure how the ship could sale when it never arrived to begin with. Kurt has managed to bring in small quantities of small parts. His pricing has been fair. But having to go thru a third party that ended up in a 1,000% mark up over the original cost of the part is some thing I will not support.
 
This is the long spline version for trucks with factory diff lockers... right?

Mark, where did you find the axle shafts? I am just getting around to prepping the axle (need to move the spring perches) to install on my 40. I do have a 80 locker I planned on putting in the axle I bought from you. I havent been able to find anything on the long side shaft differences (locker vs reg FF).
 
Gotcha, so I guess I can still install the locker pig and then swap out the long shaft at a later date for now. I did see them on ebay but they were seriously over priced. I also saw them on the GR heritage listing but dont think my dealer can get them.
 
If anyone is in need, I’ve got a 911mm NOS Long side, short spline shaft available. 42312-60043
$400 plus shipping
