interesting. If you are on the list are you on the left coast?

I thought a lot was on the East Coast! Like I am!

I also don't know if Auto or Manual might make a difference? Mine is an Auto.

You must think I like data =P . I'm gonna keep adding names as they come to the list. The most important thing about this thread is that anyone can use it to show a dealer how it is happening to other FJ owners. No more no less.

I found this link on another forum, http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/#vehicles , maybe not a bad idea for everyone with the issue to file a complaint? Maybe hopefully Toyota does something about this. I'm kinda worried, I'm running 35's and I dont wheel mine hard by any means but I do hit hills and rut similar or even a little worse than the one posted in the video above that results in a wheel coming off the ground and needing my e-locker to be engaged once in a while.

Very interesting. Thanks for that info. This thread hasn't popped up for a while, I'm sure we don't have everyone's broken diff info. I know one just happened last week at the AllPro FJ Cruiser Challenge.
