I thought you were one of dem gofast bois

 

the quarter ton suspension and steering components were not meant to handle the abuse of 35s-40s, angry eye grills, a bunch of lightbars, rotopax, LED whip antennas, etc.

It can happen on any SFA vehicle but jeep are especially prone because the steering components are small and usually neglected and then the owner slaps on a spacer lift and 35s. Worn out ball joints, tie rod ends, track bar bushings, control arm bushings are all contributing factors.

 

I need to do the radius arm bushings in the F350 because it started getting DW. Been holding out for the pending recall though. Waiting on Ford to approve the parts/labor through my mechanic.

 

Yotas must be skookum as frig then cause with worn out CA bushings and tired ass rack, I've never experienced any wobble. Pulls to one side hard when I brake? Sure.. but no wobble at any speed

 

I've seen a few of those lately, yeah it seems just as bad to me...it got me thinking though, I guess without a bed they don't have as many options. The roof or the rear bumper I guess. Or mount it inside somewhere in the back.

 

I got some 3M brushed Aluminum for the GX's wood trim.

If I had black interior I would. It looks better than wood grain and I'm the only one who needs to appreciate the look.

 

Hardware arrived; really just a bunch of little extras in case I need to put anything on the roof rack.

Using these for the rear chase lights -

 

I feel like I could do some damage to the fender running that lift through some tree branches

 

yeah I think it's actually a worse spot than the hood as far as practicality goes. The hood just seems more dangerous in a wreck to me.

 

The GX460's interior looks pretty sharp, but you're talking 4th Gen 4Runner.

 

Its interesting that you have black around the gauges and woodgrain around the ac/radio.
Is your interior grey or tan. its hard to tell in the picture

 

Everything else is covered in wood grain such as the window switches and such.

I've got a tan interior.

 

Think imma be a fatter for lunch and order cheesesticks and a personal pizza. BBQ pineapple flavored of course

 

Well that settles it; pizza for dinner tonight.

Pineapples can stay at the grocery store

 

Are you not a fan of pineapple by itself?

 

Oh it's delicious; reminds me of a joke...

 

I wonder if the original owner replaced your gage trim. Im looking at another parts runner this week. Hoping it has the black trim and a good radiator.

 

That sounds more like death wobble than a single wheel if she was able to stop it by hitting the brakes. She has larger issues than a single wheel problem.

 

That's what tripped me out; the passenger wheel didn't do it.

It was a long stretch of road before it turned highway and I only saw it on the driver side.

I could've just missed the passenger side wheel when it wobbled; I'm familiar with DW as we've had Jeeps come in having said issue.

 

Have you ever eaten a Hawaiian pizza or just say its bad from the looks? Like people do with Sushi, they say ill never eat raw fish then try it and love it.
