My 4runner with an '83 Celica Supra (5mge) LSD up front works fine in the snow and ice . . . I haven't had any twitchy handling or scary moments yet and I drive like a -tard
Here's the thread I found most helpful when I first started considering this
The *official* 7.5" Supra LSD into a IFS diff thread
. . . and my post on the install
the only problem I had with the install was trying to find shims so I could set carrier bearing preload and backlash -- luckily I was able to mix and match between the Celica Supra carrier shims and the original 4runner shims

Just to clear up some mis-information,
79-81 (MKI) supras had a 7.5" solid axle, optional LSD
82-86 (MKII) supras have a 7.5" IRS, lsd
82-86 celicas have a 6.7" open diff. ST, GT are straight axle, and GT-S is IRS, but both are 6.7".
86.5-92 (MKIII) supras have an 8" rear end. Turbos had an lsd, n/a had it a an option. The twin turbo R model had a torsen, the rest were clutch type.
93-02 (MKIV) had an 8.5" torsen lsd.

not sure if/how it will work, though I do know that the 8" ring gear from our trucks will bolt on to it
