WANTED - 4.30 Front diff for 3rd Gen 4Runner!

[YotaFun]

As title says, I need a 4.30 front diff for the runner.
I need it before winter (I know it's a little early but if I don't start looking now I will procrastinated till it's too late)

I am in desperate time now, I was going to convert the truck back to 4.10 open open till I found that the bearings are shot in the 4.10 front I have!

Please keep a look out for me, local junkyards, forums, etc.

I think I may have found one in VA but no way of knowing till Tuesday...

Thanks in advance!

do u just need a 3rd member? or the whole diff? and i cant remember, is the 7.5 in the 3rd gen the same as the 7.5 in the 2nd?

[Seanz0rz]

it is at least different due to the pass drop of the 2nd gen and the driver drop on the 3rd gen

[Crinale]

well i know the housing is different, i didnt know if the 3rd was the same or not

[YotaFun]

thirds are different and the gears are different

Find me a front diff with 4.88's (or possibly 4.56's in a pinch) and you can have mine :D

Reason its so hard to find is its dealer item only... :(

I been looking and found nada. I still say you contact one of thsoe toy junkers in cali or something and see what they got.

I have a line on a few, hopefully within the next week or so I will have one in my hands.

But as CJM said, it's only a dealer item and at 750 for just the ring and pinion, I would rather spend the 350 or so shipped to my house for one already done...

Mastacox,
I have 4.88 front R&P and a 4.10 diff housing for them to into, but the front diff housing needs née bearings and seals lol.

I want to just save an get the 4.88 rear R&P and the full install kits for both diffs including solid pinion spacers but I really need to get the runner back in 4WD mode before winter and don't want to procrastinate on it anymore.

Glad to see you found a few, my google fu is weak cause I didnt find jack :(
