    I have tried to diagnose the thumping noise natorious in the 3.4L motor with an automatic transmission. Has anyone solved this yet? Only does it at operating temperature with the truck in drive and the ac compressor on.

    They look stout and awesome! plus I like the top plate so your foot doesnt slip and fall through, especially on the wet and rainy days. One question... why dont they cover the entire rocker panel?

    Thats a good question i never thought of that..:eek:

    Cost i bet if jerry is flying around he might put some light on that...

    Stout...lol Thats a understatement :D the top plate i think was the best after seening a few other without it... The expanded metal one he did looks cool as hell..

    I was going to say the same thing...an anti ankle breaking set of sliders. :D

    But I'm also wtf-ing at why you'd put standard cab sliders on an extended cab :confused:

    where was a post on the fj boards about the snokel and better hp and he proved it on the dyno.. its wasnt much like 4 hp but he gained better mpg with it.

    My snokel is modified no looking under the hood :).. All i can say is my temp is between 15 and 20+ degrees colder by my scangauge with the snokel on it. its not just for water people..
