Wondering if this is a forum member, based on the license plate?


Also a very interesting failure - I did a bit of reading and found that this thing can happen sometimes when a diff drop is installed (at least in the Tacoma world). Would be interested to know a bit more, as I'd hate to to have this happen to myself or anyone else on the trail!
 
I'm going to be looing for the updated bracket for my 03 at local junk yards. I'm guessing the bracket was also updated on the 4runner models too? I can only find 4runner's at local junkyard.

4Runner, Tacoma and FJ cruiser all use same bracket.
 
What is this bracket you all speak of? (2003 4Runner owner)
Differential support bracket #2 (passenger side front diff support)- design was updated and beefed up in '06 and later models (some people with earlier models found they had the upgraded bracket, so it's a bit fuzzy on the timeline). Early design can fail offroading and will punch a hole in your oil pan and maybe take out your CV too if it does.
