    Another Vibration Question

    Thank you. Yes, I have the vibration in 2H but it is worse in 4H. It is most prevalent under acceleration. New OEM Wheels and Tires. I have had them road force balanced and with the finger plate. I'll get to to the bottom of this and when I do, all the world will know.

    Another Vibration Question

    I did those things over the past year. The vibration was there but it was sorta minor. I chased the vibration with new tires and rims and several wheel balances. I adjusted the ride height up another inch or so when I installed the new wheels (OEM) and 285's. That is when it got bad.

    1999 SR5 Driveline Vibrations

    I have a slight vibration, also. I am running stock T4R Pro wheels. I have been reading about this problem and most folks go back to balancing. I have a 2.5" lift. I talked to an ex-toyota mechanic and he said that the Toyota's are hard to balance. If your shop is not using a "finger plate"...

    Bad vibes after lift install - Solved? Solved!

    End links So, I had a vibration between 55 & 60 mph. I have a 2" lift. I replaced the front sway bar end links with 2nd Gen ones. They are longer. I replaced the rear end links with 3rd Gen front ones (longer that stock). The vibration is nearly gone. The original end links were worn out. I...

    Sherpa Equipment Company Rack Systems

    I happened upon Alex and his posse in July out in Colorado (Tetons). This was a chance encounter as I am from Georgia and was traveling for a couple of weeks out west. Super nice guys. The racks look great and are very sturdy. The fitment was excellent, also. BTW, Thanks for the stickers, Alex.

    Strange drop in MPG

    I had an issue with my 1998. Lockup was not occurring at 50 mph or so. Thus, not lowering the rpm to normal. Gas mileage was suffering. I am kinda handy but not a mechanic, by any means, but I replaced the shift solenoid, myself, and everything was just fine. However, I was getting a CEL which...

    Well, she is totaled.

    Yeah, something seemed a little fishy. All I wanted was to have it fixed but they were bent on totaling it. Repairing it would have been a lot less expensive for them.

    Well, she is totaled.

    I did not have similar coverage but will, certainly, look into it. Thanks a lot.

    Well, she is totaled.

    They wanted $1,300 for it. I let'em have it. They gave me $9,200 but it took two months to convince them. I figured it was a decent settlement based on what, I think, I could have sold it for.

    Well, she is totaled.

    $3,600 in damage and the insurance company totaled her. I was heart-broken. I know it is crazy but I had just shy of $14K invested. I fought like hell, with the help of a great agent, to get a decent settlement. Word to the wise ..... keep receipts in case you have an insurance claim. It seems a...

    Silver or body color Limited flares on white 4Runner?

    White. I have the Desert Dune Sand and I don't like the contrasting silver. The uniform colors look better IMHO. Also, I think it will look a lot better with the running boards gone.

    Chirping noise

    Hey guys, I have a chirping noise in my driveshaft. The faster I go, the chirpier it gets. Could this be a u-joint going bad? I have greased all fittings but that didn't help. It is definitely coming from the drive shaft. I jacked it up and crawled under it to be sure. Any ideas? Thanks, in...
