Mystery Noise - YouTube So I sort of caught it on video. About 5 seconds in its most noticeable. After that you'll see RPMs drop as I let off gas and the noise stops. There's still a lot of road noise though.

TLDR '97 Runner with 220k miles makes a droning noise around 50 mph. Sounds to be like it's the rear end, only while accelerating or maintaining speed. Usually stop when let off gas. Long post in bound. Ok 1997 T4R 4wd . Parents owned the vehicle for the last 100k+ miles. I drove it in...

Wife has family on Oahu. I was asking but couldn't quite get a straight answer. Part of it is its just what they like. Part of it is the Japanese vehicles and local culture. Father in law remembers the offroad scene growing up there and he said it used to be different. I enjoyed seeing...

I'd pick up an XJ today if I could find one that wasn't clapped out with a $10k price tag..

Let me talk to my bro. My 97 SR5 had a factory alarm that kept malfunctioning and going off. It went off in a store parking lot one day and wouldn't quit. He got so pissed he dealarmed it that day on the spot... In his anger he also removed the horn. :rofl: don't do that part.

Awesome thank you. I'll probably just order these then. I could get grade 8 bolts through work for a good price but also didn't want to go through that hassle so this will be easier.

You dont happen to have part #s for the bolts do you? I was wanting to get new ones myself.

Morrison Jeep Trail is just outside of Jelly Stone. Even if you dont drive up it its cool to see from the bottom lol. Deffinitely hit the Bear Tooth pass, drop down into Red Lodge and have lunch then head back up it. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions. I lived in Red Lodge but now...

New steering rack day. Drives like she's 10 years younger now. Ha

Thank you. There aren't any 2nd gens around me that I can take a look at the axle so I wasn't sure how much different they were. 10 or so years ago me and my father were fighting axle seals. We replaced them a few times and kept having them go out. Dad got mad, took it to a shop. They...

While I work on getting out of newbie jail I have a brief question. This will likely end in my own thread but for now this will get me going. Is there a casting/part number on the rear axle housings? Im trying to figure out if my 3rd gen has a 2nd gen rear axle housing... Is there any way to...

Getting in arguments with random strangers for no reason...

First gen tundras and 3rd gen runners... the parts bills though.. ha

Too bad they dont just allow us new guys to post an introduction to at least get this 15 posts going.. ha
