    Totally i agree. What have you replaced? Ive chased this knock for years and ive replaced:
    Outer Tie rods, inner tie rods, upper control arms, power steering rack, lower steering shaft, upper steering shaft, change wheels nand tires, went to balance beads instead of static, cv axles, drive shaft ujoints, carrier bearing...
    You can grab my steering wheel with two fingers and easily wiggle it. My dad had an 07 base modle 4wd and his didnt do that.

    Id be pissed if mine did what you describe yours doing :laser:

    I donthe same, wash a spot and rinse it before the water dries.

    Ive got ULTRA hard water from the hose and if you let it dry you get visible deposits of calcium [or some poison] everywhere. You have to razorblade them off the glass...

    Damn... I ain't got anything like that but I've always done sections to keep off water spots in general.

    Mine got a face lift. eBay TRD Pro grill. Painted the chrome bezel with a flat black texture. Not 100% happy with it so I’ll probably strip it and do a smooth flat black.
    $123 shipped for this bad boy and it fits damn near perfectly.

    I think sometimes I should've gotten a v6 but then I love the torque value my 4 popper has. Keeps me from speeding as much that for sure. It's like driving a tractor everyday... LOVE IT!:burnrubber:

    Dobinson’s coils and shocks. SOS sliders, ditch light brackets, and front skid. Rigid ditch lights. BFG KO(dos) More minor stuff.
    Ordered rear bump stops to replace the ones cut off for airbags by previous owner. You would think to be certified it would come with those. One job guys.

    Just slapped my antenna on. Looks outta place but it works for now. Gotta finish up wiring cb radio & light bar. Had to stop halfway through due to rain. Too many beers to trust my self wiring anything now that's rains stopped.
    Extra 3rd photo to show how I mounted. Used a 90* bent piece of metal w/ pre drilled holes that I got for $2 (bought 2). Primed & painted it. Then ordered the famous t nuts & bam! The washers behind the bracket are being used as spacers.

    The only way to connect a front camera is to buy a $100 switching unit?? I cant splice some wires and push the signal from the new camera to the HU?
