    Mines in the shop as we speak. Hopefully they actually look at the frame this time. I should have it back later this afternoon with the results

    I know mine has quite a bit of surface rust on it, but it's covered in mud right now, and I need to clean it really well before I take it in.

    I know there is a recall on the leaf springs as well.

    They won't do much your leaf springs yet because they don have the parts. Unless yours are broken then they will replace.

    The way I cleaned all the mud off my frame was to take it to one of the manual car washes then I sprayed as much of the mud off that I could from squatting next to the truck shooting to the other side of the truck to get the inner part of the frame. Then I found a hole in the frame section that is boxed and shoved the nozzle in there and let it run of a couple of minutes until the water ran clear. It did a pretty good job of getting all of the mud outta the frame

    Do you know if y'all are having a sale on Memeorial day?
    I may have to pick one of these up. I got a shutter at 5 mph and I'm not sure if it's getting worse or I'm paying more attention to it.

    I have had the same taco shudder in my 2011 and my 2012. I just threw the little spacer in there and called it a day.

    Im not sure if I've introduced myself here, but I have been lurking around here for 2 yrs. I am interested in going camping and this weekend I was up in Ocala National Forest checking out the place. I got a little lost out there since it is not like a one entrance and one exit place.

    I ended up finding Alexander Springs and did some canoeing and swimming. Is Alexander Springs a good place to camp? I know what primitive camping is but what is the other type that has electrical called and is it on a concrete surface or what? Sorry idk anything about camping.

    And of course, I wanna hit some trails with my taco out there. Where are the good trails out there? I wanna get a little muddy but not stuck type of trails.

    Wow. Bombing range? Those trails look good, but idk if my stock off road would make it. You got a nice truck there. Do any of you guys have a planned meet up there? Saturdays or Fridays would be great for me.

    Yeah, I tried a CB a long time ago and didn't notice anything different. That particular one looks bigger though.

    Loco tried that one on his truck (4x4 and 3" lift) and it made his vibes worse.
