Rotate the tires first. While at it Inspect the brakes and cv's.

Rotate the tires again? Actually I took off the drivers rear to inspect and remounted and did go away? There was no scarring on the inside of the wheel and the brake covers did look scuffed either? Maybe this corrected the issue? Think I should save the 90/hr diag for now?
Drove to the tire shop with Dunlops on and a few inches of sloppy snow on the ground. I completely agree with all the crap they get for their snow performance.
Drove home on a new set of Hankook Dyanpro ATM in the same sloppy snow. Wow what a difference! Now the 4R cuts right through and traction is a non-issue. Once I found some plowed roads, I was really impressed with how smooth they are and how much less bounce there was. Steering improved tenfold as well. I give them bonus points for their look too.

loved my ATM's!! I love my MT's even more! Hankook rocks!!!
The guys at the shop had a similar reaction when they heard my tire choice. I must have done my research right haha. I'm honesty surprised that no one recommended these in my tire thread, even though they're a top three AT tire according to many reviewers/professionals.

My SDHQ CV boots shipped finally
Played in the snow earlier, now my truck is just sitting in the parking lot gathering snow til I get off work.
Picked this up yesterday
Took it to the range
Other than that, I haven't done much with my truck other than drive it and LOVE the 13.8mpg I'm getting with this winter gas! Woot!

Gen V14.1 Navigation update (Map Data)
So many mods on "standby", I thought I'd update my NAV DVD.
Link: Toyota 4Runner Items for Sale
If you are interested: (year 4Runner: Navigation generation)
2003-2004 4Runner: Gen 2/3 (no version beyond V13.1..... no more updates after this current version)
2005 4Runner: Gen 4
2006-2009 4Runner: Gen 5
Best site to get them. Paying Toyota $150-200 is insane.

I bought my headlights from here CARiD.com ? Auto Parts & Accessories | Car, Truck, SUV, Jeep. Installed myself with a little help from a friend and this forum.

New pass. side front axle. Had my trusty local guy check it out as it was slinging grease through the wheel. He suggested replacing the axle given it's age (150k) and torn boots. It's about the same labor to reboot or re-axle so the extra hundred bucks for a new axle seemed like smart money at this point.
And at well below freezing, I'm happy to support my local economy and let someone else (with a garage and all the proper tools) do the job.
Good thing, too, because the snow and ice are here in force in Vermont. I think that next time I get a fat client check I'll be upgrading the tires. The dealer I bought the truck from in August put brand new Uniroyal Laredos on it but I haven't been super impressed with them in the snow so far. Good excuse to go to a a set of General Grabber at2's which will be a more aggressive AT (for mild offroading) and carry the mountain snowflake symbol. I should be able to sell the Laredos and recoup some of the cost.
He said I have a pinhole in a boot on the other side but that it was fine for now. I may just try to clean it up and put some frog tape over it if I get a warm day here at some point.

Just replace it as well, not long before it goes at that age as well. The General Grabber AT2's I had were awesome all around and great in the snow!

Yes, loved mine too! Before I bought my new Hankook MT's I had bf Goodrich at's , they sucked so bad that when snow came I had to switch back to the stock Hankook atm! If you get into any serious off roading the Hankook MT's ride as nice as the ones you have, last as long, and are actually better in the snow and such. Very quiet on the road too, only a slight hum that my radio overcomes very easily.
