Wonder if he has had any renters.
I think they're pretty slick! A little pricey for rental... But kinda neat, too.
1st day back at work in 8 days. Going to be a long night.
Been a pretty crappy 48 hours. Something broke in my front axle on the way home from my in laws house yesterday (I'm hoping it's the front DS, but I doubt it), then I arrived home to a shattered back door. Someone tried to kick it in and break in. They didn't get in though, thankfully. Police came out to file a report and went around to talk to a couple people in the neighborhood.
Insurance deductible is way over what a new door will cost me, so I need to buy that this week and get it installed myself. Then I need to fix my truck, all while some nice medical bills are rolling in. This has turned out to be a very expensive year for us.

Teddy,
I hate to hear about the attempted break-in. It's amazing how many times I have heard the same think recently. People attempting break ins during the broad daylight.
I'm glad it wasn't worse but it still sucks. I hate a thief! (I also hope your truck is a simple fix)

^^Ditto! Sorry to hear about the truck and the attempted break-in. Really sucks, man.
Pulled the front DS and its still vibrating really bad. I'm now thinking it's a spark or wiring issue, but everything looks fine. I've checked every system I can think of.
Talked to Marshall and told him I'm leaving it with him Saturday if I can't figure it out this week. I hate having a mechanical issue and not being able to figure it out.

Rear driveshaft? Engine mount?
Rear driveshaft is fine. All new ujoints and rear wheel bearings less than a year ago. Motor mounts look OK and so does the trans mount. I have new ones in the garage in case. This just started all of a sudden on the interstate after 4 hours of driving.
Throw a wheel weight or a belt in your tire? Shots in the dark here.
Well, I think you may be on to something. After driving all the way to work this morning with the front driveshaft pulled, I think my noises and grumbling are coming from behind the driver seat.
Engine is running fine and idling fine. I don't have time to mess with it again this week is the bad thing.

Yeah check out the wheel balance, had this happen a few times and it's always been a balancing issue. One way to kind of test it is put the front tires on the rear and vice versa. You'll probably still get vibrations but it'll be at a different speed or it will feel different.
Update! I decided to pull the rear DS today for the hell of it and it turns out the 6 month old u joints were smoked! Put the front DS back in, locked the center diff, running and driving like the Blue Whale I know and love again.
So, I am running around in front wheel drive until I get new u joints put in the rear. I knew I was over thinking everything, but oh well. Now time to focus on the parts swap and beer!

No, I had a driveline shop do it. I paid them to put Toyota Ujoints in and it looks like they used generic on it. But, this time, I'm going to buy the Mr. T joints myself and take them and the DS to Cline and have them install then new joints and rebalance the DS. It has a couple good bangs in it.
I'm really not surprised this was my issue. I've wheeled that truck pretty hard the past year. I think they must have been on their last leg and the long trip at highway speeds finally did them in.

I went the JY route. Cline couldn't do anything over the phone and I'm too far to make multiple trips. I have heard good things about their work. FWD was definitely interesting in a lifted suv.
