    Possibly. Hard to say. I would flatbed your TRDOR over to the shop and go from there. What shop did the gear installs?

    River city differentials here in Sacramento. They were recommended to me by a friend and they have many positive reviews.

    Im sure they will take care of it. But I would NOT drive it. All sorts of additional damage could occur and the shop may use the additional damage to deny repairs.

    Thanks for the information. We had a group buy on Tundras.com that included gear installs that turned into a total shit show. This isn't the shop.

    Sometimes things happen. The shop will make it right with you.

    Don’t have that answer for you. This unfortunately a risk you take when you modify your vehicle. If you’re asking what I would do, it’s drive one of my other vehicles...

    If it’s a cracked/fubar’d xfer case at least here’s your chance to upgrade to a manual one from an FJ or 4Runner

    I had to rent cars when I was a young lad with a daily driven offroad vehicle. Many Sunday evenings were spent under my vehicles to get into work Monday morning.

    Because I wanted to get a couple miles in on the front diff help break it in. I had left the house and figured it had warmed up. So when I was sitting at the light I decided that was a decent spot.

    Nothing wrong with that as long as you’re just driving in a straight line, or even taking wide sweeping turns. Plenty of guys do it when they get new front gears installed to break them in.
