Ooh that sucks! PB Blaster didn't help loosen them? I haven't done the BMC yet. I do plan to do it eventually. So far, I've only been using the 4R for going to and from work and running errands.

I have them set at the lowest setting for the spring's seat clamp.

I actually didn't trim too much. I trimmed the front bumper about 1.5 inches shorter and then used a heat gun to push the fender liner in a little on both sides. I actually trimmed the fender liner on the driver's side a bit because of the different shape- I couldn't heat gun the liner that...

Stock suspension was shot so I went with a budget lift. Bilstein 5100's and OME 885/895. BFG KO2 285/70R17 on 17x9.

Similar story here. I had the dealership do a full ATF exchange when I started experiencing a shudder. It got to the point where the check engine light came on and went into limp mode. No shudder after the fluid exchange, until about a little after one week passed. The shudder didn't occur as...

Thanks. The rig's been running smooth for the last 2 days again. Again, it doesn't occur as often as it did before the ATF exchange, so I guess I'll just tolerate it for now when it happens.

I got charged $329 IIRC, a bit much but I didn't do enough research to find a reputable local shop to do the work. Haha I just re-read my post and saw that I failed to mention I reconnected the battery, then put it in drive for the idle to reset. Anyway, the problem came up again two days...

Toyota WS auto transmission fluid was used for the drain and fill and eventually the full exchange. Not sure if the temp was checked, I had the dealership do the full exchange. I reset the idle by disconnecting the battery and letting the 4Runner sit in drive with the parking brake on for a...

Just an update. I ended up doing a full transmission fluid exchange and it seems to have taken care of the problem. Also reset idle to see if it helped at all and the rig seems to run a lot smoother. Had a few hiccups (1 or 2) in the last 100 miles or so, but nothing as severe as before. I...

Gotcha. Honestly don't know what the issue could be. It doesn't happen a lot but now when I do get that "rumble strip" feeling in the 25mph range when entering the freeways I get paranoid the CEL lights up and I go into limp mode. Seems to only happen when I do a gradually moderate acceleration...

Probably should’ve included that in my previous post. I have the 4.0L V6. Pardon my lacking knowledge but what is the AIP?

Shuddering Been a while since I’ve been on this forum! Anyway, I got myself an ‘06 SR5 4WD about two months ago with 126k miles and in the last 3 weeks or so, I started getting the shudder around the 45mph mark like many of you. I currently have about 129k miles. I did a drain and fill with...

I think I may have found what I need.

I'm interested! I'll send you a PM.

I'm still open to anyone else that may wanna sell their setup.
