    I don't know what to do sorry but if you have a girlfriend or wife keep it that way she'll enjoy the ride more. Just kidding. Sorry I couldn't resist.

    The vibration is coming from below my seat. I believe it is the Transfer case.

    Couldn't it also be the driveshaft. My driveshaft has what looks like tire weights on it.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    It will aerate the oil pretty good.

    Crawl under the truck and start looking around. Look for loose bolts, worn bearings, anything and everything that could be going bad or coming apart.

    Check u-joints....

    When was the last time you greased the u-joints or did a diff service?

    Greased it all, oil level is good, installed winter tires that I know are well balanced and the vibration is still there. must be the transfer case. Does any one know if i pull it off the tranny what is involved. I thought i could save some money if i take it off and bring it to tranny shop or Toyota to repair then install it back my self. would i only save a couple of labor hours. the rate hear is $115/hr
