So let me try to understand this.. This is basically a stock 2GS diff. housing with the GS300 pinion gear mated to an MKIV Auto TT TRD diff. right?

No.This as a 2 gs housing with 3;73 gears from toyota that went in a supra.The GS300 gears are 3;93 I believe....Also has this trd carrier.http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=657
All parts were brand new and id have to check but I should have all reciepts. Cost of build was around $2200 w/o the housing.

probably cheaper to buy the gear and swap it... shipping might negate all the savings.

Ah, I see. This is basically a MKIV Auto TT rear diff with the TRD LSD. If you want to trade, I have a MKIV Auto TT rear end with the stock LSD with 43k miles on it from my supra when I took it out to fit an carbonetic LSD onto it.

I think he wants the GS4's stock 3.266 gearing for his next setup.

This is exactly what im looking for with an lsd
As far as as sam430 mentioned with swapping gears that is a route but can be very expensive. I think I spent about 3-400 on all the necessary bearings and crush sleeves the last time. And that was as a Lexus employee

Do you want the 3.266 ring gear with the supra Torsen LSD or the TRD unit? If you want the 3.266 ring gear with the supra torsen lsd, I can make it happen. Shouldn't take to long to swap things over.

Maybe go taller than 3.26? since you have a supercharger... you probably can push to 60mph on the first gear without the tranny shifting. LOL, that would be nice, but think about it first. Also, you don't have to wait for the charger to spool, it just go with the rpm, which would be nice with the taller gear. Power just comes without shifting gear.
