Has anyone heard of a Toyota TRD front locker ? Is this actually a toyota factory piece? If anyone has one, how have they worked for you?

No I haven't heard of it. I doubt TRD has, or ever will, make a front LSD. Definately not an OEM item (factory as you call it). LSDs don't really cut the mustard off road from just about everyone i've spoken to. Most wish they'd got a locker instead. Don't buy an auto locker for the front diff if you drive faster than ~10mph on road (ie: in snow), that leaves you with the unattractive (price-wise) option of getting a selectable locker (~$1000 installed).

If you're set on a front LSD and won't be dissuaded, you can retrofit the LSD from a pre-19?? Supra 7.5" rear diff into the 4x4 front diff.

There's a good search engine at the top right side of the page, it will answer just about all your questions about the birds and the bees, meaning of live, who shot Kennedy, what happened to Jimmy Hoffa, does size matter, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck, what is the Hokey Pokey all about, did Joan of Arc really speak to God... did George Bush? etc... oh, and stuff about Toyotas too.

Matt maybe he is talking about a supra lsd..?

but im with you on the rest of what ya said..

Matt16

Maybe. The Supra LSD came equipped from the factory.

Well yeah, But can be easily retrofitted into a front 7.5 then passed hands a few times and somewhere in the line someone could say ITS TRD ?!?!!!!

Buddy who has it for sale bought it on ebay and who knows what kind of mutt it is. I had never heard of this piece and couldn't find anything so thought I'd ask.

I thought i was pretty well versed in LSDs and lockers for the Toyota 8" and 7.5" and I've never heard of a TRD front 7.5" LSD. Its not like TRD is a obscure company either.

So, I'll need some pics or a link before I'll believe it.
