    I provided pictures of the broken leaf via email. As of yesterday, ARB requested "pictures of the entire vehicle" so I sent them over; haven't heard anything yet today.

    The Dakar HDs are marketed as 660+ lbs over stock, and I'm not even close to that. I expect a warranty of some sort, but I'm not sure if they'll send me a single leaf and make me split my pack up, or just the driver's side pack. I highly doubt they'll send both sides.
    Since the break is just in front of the center pin, I'm wondering if the leaf above it is damaged at all.

    It's just sitting in the driveway, dreaming of the day it will be able to go play in this incoming snow. :pout:

    Supposed to be lots of snow. I'll watch the news for stories of snowbound souls. :)
    I just put my dealer pulloffs back on in case the weather person is correct. Been trying to wear out my original tires.

    lol...not yet, but I have learned to bypass it. I bought abs reset tool, it helps me reset the ABS light and then I can get in to 4lo as long as I don't drive the truck. Once in 4lo, traction is turned off anyways.

    Edit: and just in case you forget your OBD scanner/reset tool. Here is how you can do it with paper clip by jumping the OBD

    Well, the issue is that as long as ABS/traction lights are on, computer won't let you switch between 2wd-4wd, but once you reset the lights you can switch and can stay in desired mode as long you don't switch back and forth.

    Well, it was my fault that caused all of these issues so I wouldn't blame it on Toyota. Also, I don't trust them suckers to work on my truck. Every time I went to stealership, they managed to screw shiet up. List includes striping bolts/holes, missing bolts on after market skid plates, forgetting to tighten radiator cap which almost overheated the truck on Deer Valley trail and over filling the engine with engine oil.

    Plus, diagnosing and fixing stuff is the fun part (at least for me). You learn new things about your truck which might help you fix it on a trail. Lets not forget, it gives me a reason to buy more tools! :D

    Yeah man all of this shiet happened after I broke an axel in Hollister. Finally, figured out what was causing it and waiting for parts to arrive so I can install them and be back to normal.
