    Man,

    Are you all fing kidding me..... You all are a sorry gullible bunch!!!

    You really think there is a person that purchases a vehicle a month ago, for 16k, and will turn around and sell it over vibrations.

    You are sad... The reason for the post was seeing if anyone on here still posts, and if I was doing it correctly. Because I was posting numerous questions without response.

    Have you ever heard of reverse psychology, oh wait this will be where someone chimes in and says something "oh now that you get dogged on, you make it look like you were joking".

    Actually that was the intent. Often on the 50 plus threads I;ve looked at. Responses got the "MOST" replies when something "Stupid" was stated, where that person was dogged.

    WoW. Now you that all posted, I know exist...... So please look at my modification posts for suspension.

    I have also been thinking about rust proofing my undercarriage, and last night was reading on a different issue of the Tacoma. Rust on the undercarriage eating the frame out.

    I watched on you tube this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFo-MlDNBXc.... Any of you done this and it worked?

    I also was checking out the price of a single piece driveshaft to counter the vibrations. I only have a 100 piece socket set from husky, and looking to get into maintaining my vehicle.

    I was reading the lubrication of the two piece driveshaft late yesterday morning about greasing the zerks on the drive shaft, also watched a video on youtube. But I think with the amount of rust on the drive shaft, and the seal replacement issue with the one lip, might as well just replace the drive shaft with one piece since its already out.

    That seems more logical to deal with the vibration issue.

    Since I have so many people addressing me now, please help with any of my questions.

    Thank You

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Sorry, I ain't buying that....did you ever stop to think that maybe the shitstorm you started, especially being new to the forums, just might backfire on you?

    As far as posting and not getting an answer right away, sometimes is takes awhile to get an answer, kripes, when you log on, see the front page and how fast the recent posts cycle off the page....

    And you are talking $3500 budget for new rims, 35's and a 6" lift right off the bat....that budget will get hit hard just for rims and tires, and the 6" lift is gonna require mega $$$, much more than what your budget is...

    And, a 6" lift has its own problems, shaft angles and lengths, even with a drop kit, you are going to have problems with popping the front shafts at full droop....

    Research the krap out if it before you get all up in our faces...

    This is not a way to get FRIENDLY attention, especially as a new member to the forums...

    Good luck getting any help....It would help if you started over, maybe with a me culpa before asking for any more opinions...

    Ya know, if Tacomas are a pseudo-religion, "The Lamentations of the Vibrations" would be one of the Stations of the Cross kind of thing.

    Perhaps followed by OH NO! Can't Stop in Snow, then Get Thee Behind Me, VSC Satan . . . . . ;)

    EDIT: you might also get better responses if your post was more geared to trying to figure out what's wrong with your truck, rather than simply complaining about it...People on a website solely dedicated to Toyota's aren't going to leave positive responses to a thread that has no value, whatsoever[/QUOTE]
    Very good answer from a 25 years old, but after spending over 30K his issue is still a valid one at least for him self. The moral is this: stop complaining about Tacoma and try you-re luck on a Dodge forum. And then what? Anybody in their group will laugh about my truck? It won't solve his frustration.
