Toyota 8" open carrier

Since I have an LSD in the rear of the 4Runner and I want to install a lunch box locker I need an open carrier. Anyone have one laying around or know where I can get one cheap? Need to fit an '85 8" Yota 3rd member.

Let me check with my buddy Jon he might have one.

Zuki, Any word from your buddy?

I tryed calling him ain't heard back.

Hey I just talked to him and he
said he know's he's got a welded one and
he's pretty sure he's got a stock one out in Taylor.
He's going out there in the morning and will look and let me know.

Cool! Just let me know. Thanks again Dave.

Any news Zuki?

Waiting to here back.
I'll give him a call in the morning.

Sorry to bug you Zuki... but have you heard back?

The V6 will work, they are stronger than the 4 cylinder. Find any V6 from 89-95 and I believe the 96-02 4Runners are 8" also. I used to run a V6 in my last truck with the spider gears welded, did it's job.

Just the carrier? Not the whole 3rd. I know the 3rd is stronger. But the part numbers for just the carrier are different on them so I thought they where different. If they aren't then sure.. a V6 carrier will work.

Sean, read this link has a lot of great insight on the Toyota differentials.

I had a the V6 diff running in the front with welded spider gears and a 4 cylinder in the back also with welded gears. If you don't want that V6 open carrier I'll take it, I could use one for my pickup. The best set up is to use the V6 diff in the back and a LC high pinion in the front. The LC high pinion is a reverse cut ring gear based on the V6/turbo design.
