I'm not into a new hobby every other day I really just dont have time to go out

I'm referring to your indecision to buy something after we've told you multiple times it's a waste for your application, especially since you don't even have extended travel in the front and you've been driving on shocks that seriously need a rebuild. Get your shit fixed and actually wheel it for awhile before you waste money on long travel and then open up a whole new can of worms to your front end.

Well, i walked to my truck this morning and i could smell diff oil...thought i was loosing it cause i didn't see anything on the ground. I sled under the back and sure enough the driver side drum has gear oil leaking down onto the rim and tire.
I got the driver and passenger bearings/seal/retaining rings, etc. replaced by the stealership back in April while were on vaca ( i supplied the bearing assembly's which were OEM) Made an appointment to drop the truck off tomorrow morning and am honestly dreading it, mostly because i feel like they're going to fight on it cause the trucks modes.....yahy!

Bummer. Probably just the seal though, that's not a terrible job on the taco. Just gotta pull the drum apart to release the e brake cable and pull the axle shaft out.

Ya i'm not worried about having to do it myself, like you said it's not a terrible job. Just sucks that 3 months after the stealer ship did the work it's already leaking, i'm hoping they just fix it but previous history points to them fighting it.
