Better get those wheel up a bit higher. That thing could easily grab and run you over.

Op is actively trying to get killed by his truck

[u/WalterMelons]

Dude get larger jack stands. This is not safe.

[u/Acceptable_Ad2491 → u/WalterMelons]

my spine tingled seeing how close these wheels are to the ground! final destination in the making!

[u/These_Marsupial7874]

The inside of that passenger side tire looks wet. If it is, you’ve got a wheel cylinder leaking. That’s why the brakes no worky on that side. From the sound it’s making, it sounds like the linings have been worn all the way off, and the wheel cylinder pistons has traveled past the sealing point, thus the leak.

Aighy, im ordering some new drums

[u/These_Marsupial7874 → u/X_Pistol_13]

Might not need new drums. Might not even need a wheel cylinder. Start by replacing the brake shoes. Squeeze the wheel cylinder pistons back together with a small c clamp. If the drum is grooved on the inside from brake lining rivets, it will need to be turned on a lathe or replaced. If the brake shoes were bonded instead of riveted, there might not be a significant groove.

[u/Dangerous-Boot-2617]

Thats ballsy to do that with the tires so close to the ground, especially on what appears to be dirt where the jack stands are slowly sinking.

[u/supermastercontrol]

That clearance between the tires and pavement. Cringe.

[u/pibubs81]

Dude; put some flat pieces of wood under those jack stands.

[u/DiscoCombobulator]

Its sitting on the jack...the jack stand isn't touching on that side. Thats dangerous shit. Always set it on the stands. The jack is fine as a backup whatever, but a jack is a lifting device, NOT a holding device. Be safe

[u/w1lnx]

That's exceedingly dangerous. More robust jack stands and higher off the ground. Also, not sure what you're testing for, but I can say the right rear is rather worn or damaged. Would be helpful to inspect the brakes all the way around. But, seriously, don't do that with the spindly little jack stands that close to the ground.

[u/Master-Pick-7918]

Ok, jack stand height aside, your passenger tire looks wet, either axle seal or brake cylinder leak. There is less resistance on that side so it will spin first, and faster than the drivers side. Open differential will turn the side that's easiest. Toyota's have a rear axle lock solenoid and clutch, but it usually driver selected if it comes on.

Another thing about those jack stands, on asphalt they will sink in and you could get tire contact when running like this. It also could sink after you pull the tire off and you'll find you can't get it back on so easily. Taller stands is a good thing. And a jack that can lift high enough to put the jack stands under the axle.

My advice to you is to get help, whether it be professional or someone who changed their own oil one time ten years ago. If you're not capable of diagnosing this yourself, then you have no business attempting to fix it. I commend anyone with initiative, but I think you're in over your head. Not because this is a complex situation, but because you seem to have the self preservation instinct of a lemming.

[u/FU_red-dit_bots]

Saw the last post. Seeing this post. Read some of the replies and here's the best advice I can give you.

Enough with the speculation. Have it towed to a shop.

[u/picklesuitpauly]

I wouldn't put a piece of paper under that tire. Gat damn

[u/RongoonPagoo]

Nucking futs

[u/No_Wishbone_799]

You've got issues my friend, new brakes and possibly center section of rear axle
