    Well hello again everyone,

    So last night I was driving down a dirt road thinking I was a baja Tacoma and I cut a corner too sharp and a rolled my Tacoma on its side. I got it flipped over and everything with my brothers help but when I turn the truck on my rear differential smokes. What do you think the problem could be?

    Did gear oil leak into brake drum? That would smoke.
