Hi Carpe, and welcome to the forum. Congrats on using your truck as intended.

For oil and servicing info, see this thread...

LSD are available, but not easy to find. You sometimes get them on ebay. UK spec 4Runners have them I think, so you may be able to buy one from Toyota directly, but you'll need to be sure you get one with the correct ratio. There is an axle code on the VIN plate on the firewall under the bonnet. Decode instructions are here...

Dunno how easy it is to swap an entire unit over though. Hopefully TonyN will be around and he can answer that one.

The last offer on was £100 but that fell thru as the guy sold his truck in the end but like i said you will need to arrange collection on it tho

Hi Chris and welcome, the rear axle swap is extremely easy, I've done two so far but you will need a mate to give you a lift though, Simply unbolt the shocks, arb stabilisers, Brake lines from the drums, stabiliser arms and rear prop and lower it down on a trolley jack. Refit in reverse order and bleed the brakes. Good luck
