I'd like to know, too. I'm in the market for a TE, and if these come supercharged I'd be willing to wait for a black one.

Bump for Nissanh. Bought a driveshaft from him at a good price. Would definitely buy from him again.

It turns out that the issue was the double cardan joint at the front of the driveshaft. It straight up broke in half. New Driveshaft fixed the issue!

Worked! Back on the road again, thanks to NissanH for the driveshaft.

Update: Bought a used drive-shaft from NissanH, but I can't get mine off. I marked everything for removal, wheels chocked, and disconnected the end that connects to the rear transfer case, but the front seems like it's glued in! I can't get it off. Any suggestions or advice?

Yeah... about that. I sprayed it with liquid wrench and used a little muscle and they came right off. I have a bigger problem, though. It turns out that the rear-most U-joint isn't the culprit. This one is: :jaw: It completely snapped! I have no idea I how I was still able to drive it. EDIT...

I didn't order it online. I know a guy that works at a Toyota dealership. Not sure about the website you posted.

I ordered the part and it should be in today. Haven't checked it in 4WD because I haven't needed it since I started getting the vibrations. I'll report back when the new U-joints are installed. :thanks:

My 4runner is shaking/vibrating on acceleration in 2wd. Checked the rear U-joint, and it has about 0.8-1mm of play if I'm rough with it. Here's the thing, though: both my front CV's are shooting grease everywhere, but I don't see a tear in either of the boots. Do those still turn in 2wd? Could...

My answer to everything is bed-liner.
