    Plus spacers is 1.25x2

    So safe size for rear track is 70" WMS

    @switch-pros helped me out and hooked me up with new 9100 units since Toyota destroyed my other setup and my factory battery seems to be shot too since it's now leaking acid pretty badly from the bottom, however that happens?

    But I tell ya what has me most excited
    I may have the transportation for the truck figured out

    Got a moving company moving a customer from San Fran to Florida and they said they can pick my truck up on their way back to California for 1100$

    So I have a week to shit out 1100$ to make it happen. So if anyone wants to buy the lights I have left in inventory that would be sweeeet!

    Here are some pictures of the switchpro set up for anyone who is interested.

    And here are the lights I need to sell :)
    BNIB and in Envy Motorsports east coast inventory.

    OP,
    So let me get this straight.....
    You have a stock rear diff. Nothing done to it.
    Only suspension has been modified.
    It went boom... or clunk.... or whatever to make it not move anymore.
    Dealership and corporate are not willing to work with you.
    You are dead in the water with no wheels.

    Is that it in a nutshell?

    Correct
    Different shocks
    Different leaf springs

    Factory gears and factory pinion angle
    Exhibiting the exact same symptoms as those listed in the recall relating to the rear differential.

    I have the complete grounds and case to sue them and have already submitted all the information required to do so.
    But
    A case of this nature will take a long time
    So in the mean time I need to have a operating vehicle.
    And repairing the factory parts is not an option as all the parts needed are on a national backorder for 6 months
    (I wonder why)

    Not trying to be disrespectful. I just wanted to make sure I was smelling what he was stepping in... seeing if I could possibly be of assistance to him.

    Ah! My mistake. I took it as driving a nail into his coffin or something like that. I misunderstood.

    not trying to stir the pot, but you may want to mention the magnuson-moss act. basically manufacturer (toyota) can't deny you warranty just because of the installation of aftermarket parts, unless it is determined without a reasonable doubt that the aftermarket parts were indeed the cause of the failure. just out of curiousity, what suspension parts, and what size tires are you running.

    Not sure the Mag-Moss act will do much at this point. Read back a few pages and it's all there.
