Hoping another can post a picture of the rear diff housing. Trying to settle the 8.2/9.5 debate for myself and hoping to bolt pattern will reveal an answer. Thanks in advance!
Request: Can LC owner please post a pic of the rear diff housing?

It is well know it has the 8.2. GX550 has the 9.5.

Yes, I’m aware of all the discussion about this issue and the Toyota docs people have posted. But I’ve still never seen anything that I would accept as a definitive answer.
I think the new 4Runner Trailhunter is also 9.5.
It's definitive. 8.2 diff cover is shaped differently, and matches what was in the Toyota docs and pictures of what is on the 250s.

I'm no mechanic, so can someone explain the diff between the two? (Pun intentional).
A larger gear experiences less stress and is therefore stronger. The 8.2 is plenty strong, this is really only relevant for people who slap giant 35"+ tires on these things.

Is it an 8.2 or 8.5? Guess it autocorrected….all clear now.

So that is the size in inches, I presume. Thanks.
And get him a drink and tune to his favorite station while you’re at it.Would you like me to remove the cover and count the teeth on the gears?
