    Anyone have any input on these numbers? The truck drives pretty good but at highway speed the steering wheel moves around a little bit. No pattern to it, it just moves randomly.

    It was a recall on defective lower ball joints on some 2001+ models. Potentially very very nasty if they fail while you are going fast. Could damage a lot of stuff, including you.

    Call a Toyota dealer and give them your VIN. They will tell you if your truck is included in the recall and they will get it in ASAP. Mine was.

    There are a few threads about this.

    Thanks for the tip on adding the foam to the rtt. It's like a Holiday Inn Express!

    Repainted the grill...and last one of those body pieces that goes under the headlight. Anyone know how much a replacement is? Anywhere I can get one other than the dealership?
