    You and I have similar tastes. My setup is almost exactly like yours. Same tires, suspension, TRD skid, spacers, ammo box, etc.

    Very nice.

    EDIT: One small difference. I actually lowered my suspension in the front from 2.5 to 1.75 after the front diff vibe got too annoying. I ended up getting a new front diff from Toyota a few weeks ago. I do have a diff drop in there. Hopefully it stays quiet for a while.

    Sadly i have a vibe too. Its not violent and makes no noise. Just a tiny but noticeable vibration at 35-40mph that goes away with a hit of the 4wd knob. I havent looked further into it yet. Still reading everything i can on the issue.

    Plus the amount of $$$ i would need to stop it is a little too much for me.

    Yup, that's the one. It may or may not get worse. Mine did, especially with the cold weather. I was out of warranty by 2 months so Toyota agreed to split the cost with me since I had complained about the noise two years back when I bought the truck.

    You should just wait for the bushing being developed by ECGS.

    Trucks looking good man, the stance you got with your lift looks killer.


    Oh and, your bike is sick, good luck with the sale.
