Took my 4Runner into the shop for the same sound this weekend, and am getting new rear diff and a right-side bearing. Weird that we are having these issues with such few miles!
I'm wondering how different the LC setup is from the 4R? I have had a few FJ80's and they are known for their bullet-proof axles. Doesn't seem to be the case anymore, at least on the 4R...
That is true..s**t happes sometimes, haha. Not sure which bearing went bad...don't know enought about whats in there!. Agree that I am glad I took it in before it failed and before I do the 1,500 mile round-trip mile Christmas drive. Even more glad I am getting it fixed while under warranty!!

Hey Guys...I absolutely agree with the recent posts above. At least for me, I have never experienced such an irritating feeling from a car that is "operating as designed." My last vehicle was a 2006 F150 with the 5.4L V8. I can promise you I never had any idea whether the A/C compressor was...
Not really a transmission problem...
Has anyone made any progress in finding a fix for this? I just bought an '06 V8 4Runner two weeks ago and have this exact same inconsistent acceleration changes when the A/C is on. My family has had 4Runners, Land Cruisers, a Tundra, a FJ, and a LX450 and...
