Toyota LSDs are only good for about 20 000k before losing their effectiveness (flame suit on). Cranking up the preload makes them work better, but an LSD in the front can have some serious handling problems, and are generally not recommended. Understeer and funny tyre wear might result.

Not really worth the trouble, can get a cheap 2nd hand lockright or somethin similar, for price of getting LSD shimmed up or repaired, and would then have a true locked diff.
Try not to let your mind wander...It is too
small and fragile to be out by itself.
