Best place to buy a new rear diff

My 1988 4runner 3vze needs a new rear differential and possibly two new rear axles. What's the best place to get these parts at a decent price? Used is ok.

Thank you.

To answer your question: Most economical will probably be some type of a U pull it junkyard. The other thing is to scour the classifieds here, on Marlin Crawler, and IH8MUD to see if anyone is parting out a truck\4Runner. Also, eBay is a good place to look, however you are going to have to contend with shipping costs of some pretty heavy items.

Now of course I have to ask, are you sure you need new axles and a new rear diff? What about rebuilding your current diff? Can a shop in your area rebuild it? You could save some money by pulling it yourself.
