    How big is the stuff that you need to chip? This thing takes up to 3 inch diameter. Not the fastest thing, but it’s safer than a normal chipper. Yours to borrow if you want. I usually shred anything small and cut and split anything that thing can’t take.

    Parts all ordered! Had to have my buddy from work order the switch since my wife is the owner on our Amazon account. Didn’t feel like any questions on this one.

    In case anyone here hasn’t seen this; posted in the “NE area wheeling trip plans” thread. I’ll be heading up with my little brother. This will be my first Tw meet/ride and I’m extremely stoked for some riding and to finally meet some of the Tw community!

    Names Harry and it's a 2012. I've been looking through the CT group. I have most of the parts picked out for my lift. Now I have to find out who's cheaper. I probably wont lift until Spring. Really want to do maintenance first (plugs, filters, fluids, etc.) and front brakes/bearings.

    I already got the grill lol it’s missing the center TOYOTA letters even though the description says it does.

    I paid under $80.00 shipped lol I know it’s a knock off but still.

    While reading through the last couple pages of this thread, I saw Cativelense thread about a vibration that was hard to track down but turned out to be brakes.

    A good place to also look for driveline vibration is at those small weights that are welded to the driveshaft to balance them. I've seen them fall off and cause a vibration that was hard to diagnose because all the usual culprits checked out good.

    Yeah, I checked those myself at the recommendation of @vssman, and they all seemed to be there. And confirmed by the stealership that the drive shaft was fine.

    Damn. I’d complain. Hopefully they make it right. Then I say you got a heck of a deal. Hope they can help you out.

    Hey Harry, @HAVOC , and welcome! What kind of lift are you looking at?

    I was also looking at a lift in the range of 2.5-3. In the threads I came across, it seemed if you go to a lift like that, you generally need to get new front upper control arms so you can adjust for the change. Complete kits also included a front diff lowering plate (to keep the cv’s at a less harsh angle), as well as new rear leaf packs and new rear shocks. I was looking at a kit that came with King shocks, total chaos front uca’s, and Toytec rear leaf packs. Not a cheap kit, running at around 3,700 before tax and shipping.
