    Evidently you didn't read or understand my post?
    1) jeeps have a shorter wheel base.
    2) weakest link?
    look under any box truck or semi and you'll see a multipiece drvshft, if they were a "weak link" why do every big truck have them?

    Sub'd. I've been having this issue and been doing the research.

    Looking forward to hearing more. My shudder is around 5 miles and lasts 2-3 seconds then goes away.

    Good luck!

    Axle shims and a carrier bearing drop, you want that drive shaft angle to be the best it can be

    Check and see if the drive shaft it strait, including the joints, you could probably fix it with axle shims get the degree of the axle up

    Why are so many tacos having drive shaft problems? Im not an expert on drive shafts. So i definitely wont argue that im right. It just seems to me that the more joints you have in something, the weaker it becomes. Especially something like this under loads of torque. I also definitely agree that the closer your angle is to zero, the better everything is going to operate. Im not saying im right or your wrong, it just seems a lot people have drive shaft issues and i contribute the two piece with the carrier bearing to some of that. No differently than i contribute toyotas cheap aluminum pilot shaft in the 6 speed manuals to the notorious TB chirping that my truck is currently going through. Now I've got to buy an aftermarket part to fix it. Toyota doesnt even have a fix for it. They replace the problemed parts with the exact same parts and many people are having their taco in the dealership 3 to 4 times fixing the same problem wondering why the same thing keeps happening. Did they do it to cut corners and save money? I dont know. Did they think it was the best engineering solution for that particular part? I dont know. Is there, I hope, a really good reason they went with an aluminum pilot shaft and steel bearing? Well i sure hope so. Bottom line: Has it been causing major problems with a ton of tacomas? Yes. But more importantly: Is toyota doing anything about it? Nope. Absolutely not. I even called corporate to file a complaint hoping that if enough people would they might actually research it and maybe even issue a recall for it... We'll see. If i wasnt doing it myself the labor alone on something like that would be well over 1000-1500... And back to the drive shaft, seems they under engineered some of it with all the problems people are having with them... Not mine yet...

    The truck doesn't have blocks on it for the lift in the rear so I would say it could potentially be the drive shaft?

    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    I'm in for a solution. Mine shudders on take-off. No lift, but I did go one size bigger than stock when I replaced the tires. It feels like there's a quick wobble in the driveshaft when it first takes off and then is gone after about 2-3 seconds.

    Is it a sense on TW that quality, manufacturing, and engineering problems associated with Tacoma's are pervasive and applicable to the make? If so, I suggest that, that's just not case. Toyota sells 150,000 Tacoma's a year, for the last 10 years (all they can make, which contributes to the high resale value) and many of the problems discussed on TW are NOT representative of the majority of the population of the vehicles sold. Rusted frames, leaf springs, headlights, drive shafts, etc etc etc problems are a statistically small percentage of the total population of the vehicles sold. (and many of those problems, perhaps the result of vehicle modifications) Were many of the problems discussed on TW endemic to the brand, I suggest Tacoma's would have gone the way of the Yugo and there would be no TW.

    Very well worded. I do agree. However, at least with the throwout bearing issue, i want to know what percentage of just the 6 speed manuals that came off the line are having this issue. Not just overall v6 tacomas... Its seems in that sense that the percentage would be much higher..

    It's the tires. I have toyo mts and they do it. Mud tires tend to do that.

    Have you switched tires back to just a regular tire and had the problem go away? I also wonder if running bigger tires and the stock gear ratio in the rear diff has something to do with it..

    No but before I lifted my truck and put big tires on it it didn't do it. It's the tires guranteed because mud tires don't grip pavement to well with the big treads it only dose it if I hit the gas hard from a stop If I take it easy it dosent do it

    The guy said the same thing when he had street tires on it didn't do it or at least he didn't notice it. The wheels on it now are 17 inch and the tires are slightly bigger than stock. The rear end doesn't appear to have lift on it I`ll post a picture of it in the morning. If I take off way slow it doesn't seem to be as bad for me either, but if I'm turning and I get on it or just get on it from a dead stop it period seems to be shake pretty good for like two to three seconds depending on how fast I accelerate and it will go away. dude said he replaced the driver side U joint and had the carrier bearing checked out and it was good..

    This is exactly what mine did.
    The carrier bearing can be good but you should try flipping it over.
    Takes 5min costs nothing.
    Just take out 2 bolts, rotate 180* put bolts back it.
    You don't take out drive shaft.
