    So I got stuck in a big rut this weekend and while trying to get out I blew out my rear end. Is there a company that sells a better/stronger ring and pinion that the stock one? I have a 06 trd off road 4x4
    Thanks !!

    WTF were you thinking?

    I think it wasn't a weak rear end that caused it to blow. You needed a tow to pull you out.

    I'm really confused as to why you picked that line. But now at least now you can say you've blown your rear end.

    I know :( . I went up a hill and made a quick right, I then tried to go down another hill and as I started to go down it looked good but I didn't see the big rut because I was already so close to it and I couldn't see it over my hood .

    That's exactly true but since I'm replacing it I want to upgrade it if I can.

    Thank you ! Lesson learned . I'm just glad I didn't total my truck . Just a blown rear and a few scratches to my front bumper . I must say that my sliders and front bumper saved my truck from major damage since thats what was holding my truck up .
