What failed ?. Landcruiser's have a fully floating option which I guess your 75 would have, it is the stronger of the rear diffs.
L/C's have a habit of
a/ Stretching the pinion ,winding it into the C/W till it locks and shears
off,or
b/ winding up the rear springs with axle tramp until the D/S rear UJ binds and snaps the pinion,or
c/wheel spinning 1 wheel at high speed which throws out the diff oil and runs the spiders dry till they weld to the pin and it breaks.

LSD with a solid spacer fitted instead of collapseable one on the pinion.
I'm not stuck I'm over here!
Watch where you driven!!!
