Drone/Vibration on acceleration

[thjakits]

Hi all,

I have a 2002, Toyota 4Runner, 3.0, Turbo Diesel.
So far one serious accident (got hit on the left front) and the rig has about 180k km.

Since the accident I installed a ARB bumper, a OME suspension and SuperPro Bushings (Fulcrum) throughout.

Lately I observe a drone on 4th and 5th gear when accelerating - and only when I put the pedal down.
Once the engine goes through 2400 rpm the vibration goes away....
Never had this happening before .....
As soon as I lift the pedal - no vibration/drone....

Any idea?

Thanks for any and all advise!

I would think, depending on the vibration, you'd first want to check the driveshaft and u-joints.
