    I had a pinion carrier with TRD 2way and 4.8 diff gears all put together by the guys below with new bearings, a solid crush spacer machined up and all aligned and torqued appropriately for $350 cash, they even delivered to my front door.

    diff has been sweet.

    lol had a locker for over a year... of daily driving... it wasnt pleasant.. i cant anymore anyway i keep snapping axles because im running wider/better offset wheels, so i thought this would be the better option

    thanx for the heads up! i won't b going there now, sucks that they dicked ya around. the diff all good now though?

    thanks hachi, im taking it to them now, got quoted about $550 for a rebuild of the whole diff, installation of the lsd and CW&P aswell as shimming the diff.. hopefully its all good

    tell them to machine you up a solid pinion spacer to replace your standard/fkd one as for drift/thrashing it wont give way/go out of whack = fkd diff again.

    and lockers are just a headfuck.
    one of the best things you can do to your streeter IMO is a quality LSD.

    Can anyone recommend a diff shop in the eastern suburbs? or even south eastern?

    I need someone to check out my TRD 2-way... prefer to take it to someone who has experience with them!

    Thanks!
