Pinion Seal replacement x2 No good

I bought this truck new, it has been well maintained and the frame was replaced on recall, thanks. Don't assume.

 

The big problem seems to be finding it. Around here in Rusty MA nobody has them, doing a search brings up only a few and search criteria makes me scratch my head. I only see a search for a 8" 4.30 Locker, not an open. And the results are like all the way across the country like $900, and I couldn't imagine the shipping, let alone the surprise to find out it is wrong, or it's trashed. Scary.

I went and Test drove a 2019 Tacoma, Auto, 2 wheel drive, 2.7L. Honestly, I didn't like it very much. Big an clumsy, fancy interior. Price was decent, but I fear falling into the clutches of having it repaired at the Dealerships.
