    OUCH! Is it just me, or does it look like the teeth have strange wear pattern. They look really rough/scratched like they were installed incorrectly? Was that an ECGS third?

    The intact teeth look good to me but I'm no expert. Yes ECGS, third third :)

    my god, 3rd third? I changed the oil in my 4runner ECGS built diff a few months ago after probably 3k miles and there was a concerning amount of metal filings in it, IMO. Oil looked metallic, had a silver sparkle to it. I need to drain and check it again.
    Might have Nates precision re-do that for you, unless ECGS is going to warranty it. We had Nate do brittony's new Taco last week, did good work for us at a reasonable price.

    My oil looked like some shit from a bad rave. I'll hit you up for contact info if EGGS isn't going to take care of it. I'll know tomorrow. :)

    They're covering some of the cost so it's in the mail back to ECGS. Now the waiting game :playball:

    hey @la0d0g trying to find some more info about this, but I had a question.

    when you went to 35s did you have any rubbing on your UCAs? I have the TC UCAs as well and on flat ground at full lock I slightly touch my UCAs. If I stuff the tire and full lock I touch my reservoirs. Wondering if you ever did anything about that?

    I'm thinking I'm going to add a small (like 1/2" or less) steering bump spacer on the front to keep me from rubbing them.

    Nope, never fixed. I rubbed off the paint and a little material from the UCA, self clearancing I guess. I have 4.5 bs. For a while I was going to switch to 4 bs but then I would scrub somewhere else so I've just left it as is.
