Is this 4runner still for sale?

Hey guys so I blew my diff doing donuts lol so I found a complete diff at the junk yard buy not sure what size gears it has. Is there any way of checking maybe by a tag or the vin? I'm not even sure what gears i have right now it's a 4x4 2002 and the junkyard one is a 4x4 1997 both automatic.

Just a quit update of what my engine bay looks like now. Still broken down rear diff gears broke so now I am saving up for some low gears and lockers front and back.

Not looking to lower hood temp trying to lower intake temps my headers get ridiculously hot. I should have header wrapped them.

Some more pics

Some crazy big hood spacers I made at work today. It took about an hour on the lathe I'm still going to polish them later. The hood sticks up so much it looks like I was in a car accident lol. I can't wait to test it out and see how much heat vents out. Also some pics of the new grill painted black.

So its barley June and it's already in the hundreds today it was 108 as always I'm modifying thing's to help reduce heat. Here is my high flow grill it came off a 2001 4runner from the junk yard. I cut out the inside portion of the grill with some wire cutters it was pretty easy. I'm still going...

yes i did i got some oem knock sensors off a 4runner at the junk yard and now it runs perfect. But when i was changing the knock sensors i also found out my aftermarket fuel pressure regulator was throwing fuel into the vacuum line. So i dont know if it was the knock sensors or the fuel pressure...

Made a hose today I think it looks way better than the red hose I was using before!

I am addicted to AN fittings! !! Lol those huge AN fittings are -20 AN fittings to replace the top radiator hose. I will post some more pics when I make the hoses and some pics of them installed.

It starts knocking right at 1psi of boost then it throws the code. I don't know why its knocking it never has before. I am starting to think it is engine damage. Maybe blown rings or melted piston? But compression test seemed ok. The air fuel ratio is the same as its always been.

No I did not buy oem sensors they are super expensive!

Bump. I'm dying over here perfect spring weather and the runner has been down for a long time now :(

Well since the 4runner is broken and I have tried everything to fix the knock sensor problems but no luck. I have nothing else to work on so I'm still cleaning up the look of the engine bay. I switched out the stainless steal braided hose for a black nylon braided hose I think this blackoone...

Here is a pic of the code reader
