    actually really good considering they are now 7 years old...

    with all the abuse and miles (currently over 251,000) they have not been rebuilt yet...

    how is it that you don't have ABS brakes...they are standard on all vehicles I thought :confused: Either way they are a PITA in the winter.

    My truck runs fairly smooth with minimal vibes, a little rougher on cold mornings but once its going there are no problems. Are you saying that your's is idling in a way that makes you think its going to stall?

    My whole cabin vibrates after about 20 seconds of idling... :D 150K miles on her. And my brakes are actually not touchy at all.... In fact they are pretty soft compared to other vehicles I've driven.

    weird. especially considering u took it to a dealership and they said it was perfect. never happens. check the exhaust.make sure its not loose anywhere, cuz i kinda has that in my old taco(89') and i couldnt figure it out till one day the exhaust just straight up snapped in half. 30 bucks later and a trip to the muffler shop and i was good

    It vibrates because you guys have automatics. You can hardly tell the engine is running when mine's idling.

    my truck is a 98 and it does not have abs, My buddy who just bought a 96 forerunner has abs on his..... doesnt make any sense to me
    the only vibrations i get is from the exhaust, the engine runs pretty smooth i would say considering the 186xxx miles on it. Also my brakes seem pretty soft too, i just had them all rebuilt and it stops on a dime, but it has a little "squish" to it
