Hermosa, the open diff you speak about is probably my problem. Cause 1 of my tires obviously breaks loose way to soon than the other. I wonder if all SC's (with no Traction control) had problems of traction in the rain when people first bought them from the showroom. I ask this cuz I bough my SC4 3 yrs ago and placed an additional 70K. So obviously I cant comare how it was when the diff was new. Maybe time for new Diff? Can you share where you getting it from and cost info. Cant remember, but dont u have an SC3?

Hey is it possible to get a traction control unit from say junk yard and put it on those cars that doesn't have one, if so approximately how much does it cost for parts and labor?

I have an SC3 and SC4. The Torsen LSD is around $900 at Carson Toyota. Some guy in the classifieds is selling his for $600 I believe. I simply bought a Supra TT rear end for my SC3.
