OK so took another look underneath this morning with good lighting. No ice build up or anything. Removed the grease cap, clip ring still in place. Rotors are tight, nothing loose. Shields are not rubbing. Decided to run it up to 55 mph and the noise seems to be gone. No vibration or anything...

It gets better when turning left and when accelerating.

No but will try when I drive it again evening. And yes, beautiful area indeed.

gotcha. Yeah something definitely could have come loose. We were on some super rough roads. Just weird that the noise started after it had been parked all day. Anyway, thanks for the insight. I’ll report back if I find a fix tomorrow!

Good idea on popping the grease cap. I have not put it in LO or tried the diff locks. I will try that this evening or in the morning. I checked for ice build up but didn’t see anything. Did you notice a rubbing or grinding sound from the ice in your GFs car? We haven’t hit highway speeds yet.

Unfortunately no heated garages around here that I have access to. Actually you might know where I am... McCall, ID.

Thank you for all who take the time to respond. We are traveling out of town and if I need to find a mechanic, i have to change travel plans ASAP. This morning, we drove about 15 miles down a wash board road covered with about 8 inches of snow. Parked all day, about 8 hours. Got back to the...

I'm on 31st just two blocks away. Small world. If you're ever in the neighborhood swing on by! You'll see the green machine. Hard to miss... :)

That sounds like a great day! I'm in Boise proper. Right off of State St near Whitewater Park Blvd.

Steve - another huge thanks for recommending LTS. I just talked with Cory. Super professional, knew exactly what he was talking about, and the price was significantly less than the dealer. I love wrenching but until I have my garage set-up from the move, it feels great to find a pro I can trust.

Perfect! Thanks a lot! I'm gonna call them up today. also... I see you're in a 2013... I've been thinking about a 200 myself but all the technology and the repair of said technology and gadgets scares me. Have you had any major issues with it yet?

Thanks for the tip. Hadn't come across Camelback yet so I'll check it out before ordering parts for bearings and CV overhaul.

Nice! That's a beautiful area over there. If you're ever down around Boise give me a shout! We should organize a meet-up for NW LCs sometime!

Haha agreed... Maybe all the Boise LCs are out exploring... maybe? haha

I just moved to Boise, ID from Virginia. The LC did wonderfully on the trip but now I need to find a new source for parts. I was ordering from toyotaonlineparts.com (McGeorge Toyota in VA) but i'm assuming a closer dealer/parts supplier will be better for shipping costs. Any suggestions would...
