    I live in California and park outside... There's no reason for me to wash the damn thing. I'll come back in 30 minutes with a layer of dust all over it.

    since the day I got my general grabber ATX’s there has been a hop or a shake at 42-47 mph, I immediately noticed it. I’ve narrowed it down to the tires. They have been balanced and re balanced and road force balanced and rotated and balanced again. I did a diff drop and pulled my driveshaft. Almost changed the u joints and center bushing but I figured it was easier to swap wheels first.

    And naturally I’m past the warranty on the tires with general. It’s my own fault I should have acted on it sooner. don’t do what I did

    And today after about 60k miles of needle bearing roaring....I finally did the ECGS clamshell bushing. And HOLY CRAP I should have done it a long time ago. 745F1BAA-5446-4DE3-93FA-4D92A40E4ECF.jpg

    this literally describes my experience with Hankook Dynapros so that is good to know. Will need to do the same experiment with my fiancé’s four runner then thanks for the response. Unfortunately I have been dealing with this for almost 1 1/2 years now lol.

    Same. Been messing with it for a year. My wife’s 2020 4 runner has 1200 miles and I stole the wheels off it. I jacked up the rear from the diff and I could see the hop in the tire. I didn’t actually measure the runout but it’s not good. Hope you can figure it out.

    Yes, I used the thread here, I bought the non ram stuff at the local hardware store. They had everything. I think it took all of 5 minutes to get it all done.

    Right on, I asked because every time I go to mine they never have what I need lol. I'm tired of waisting my time, I'll probably just order online and piece it together :D

    I just bought two for 68 ea. There’s a seller on eBay that’s 75 or best offer. He took 68 ea for the 2 gallon

    Used a 2016 stock exhaust on my 2010. Need to splice front portion of 2nd gen one to 3rd gen one and last exhaust hanger needs to bend as angle is different . Also long bed short bed makes a difference .
