Help! Brake issues after destroying front axles and diff

M0therSuperi0r

1️⃣ Getting Started...
Hello everyone. I’m new to this T3G so please go easy on me. So, here’s what happened I was OR at my local spot, doing a hill climb in 4L with rear locker engaged anyway passenger front wheel went in the air came back down and I snapped cv axles and destroyed front diff. Got it towed to the stealership to hopefully get it fixed under warranty ( told the dealer I was going to the grocery store and was doing monthly lube of front diff) after a month Toyota didn’t want to fix it. So I decided to just take out axles and diff. But now my brakes are super spongy. Any ideas on what it could be? I purchased a bidirectional scanner and I have this code. Was thinking to do the abs bleed, Please advise. Thank you in advance

Yea, freakin bashed the diff tube onto a boulder luckily I had TRD pro skid plate. Or else there would be more damage. No I haven’t bled them yet, I’m gonna manually bleed them, then do an abs bleed with scanner tomorrow morning. Hoping to get my brakes back.
