    Hmmm interesting. did you always use Amsoil or switched over recently? I've used amsoil on my previous cars with good results (oil analysis) although have not even done so with my Tacoma due to previous history. Now I want to get one.

    If its only when braking it could be warped rotors, Depending on your speed the shake will be different. When you come to a slow stop did your brakes feel like they would grab once or twice per tire rotation? I have had a ton of warped rotors in the past because I drove old cars hard and braked harder. At highway speeds warped rotors can feel like the ford death wobble when braking hard.

    It would do it when not breaking, and to be honest with you because it was already shaking, I couldn't tell you if it did it while breaking as well... guess it did since it was already doing it. LOL

    I didn't get up to highway speed on the highway this morning to test it out... a lot of traffic, so I was at about 40-45 and that's it.

    Hahahaha. i was expecting that too . But It came in with the “TOYOTA” logo. I specifically asked the seller about the logo and if it will be shipped with the same package before placing my order.
    I just carefully taped the edges of the letters and painted it red to match the black/red theme on my truck.

    Rotors and pads are an easy fix, even swapping calipers is around 70 bucks with your core if you got seizing pistons. It's and easy diagnosis with pulling of the tire and looking at the pads, spacing and rotor surface

    I want to add the Compass/Temp panel to my overhead console. I know there is a thread here about this that I have checked. Any ideas where I can get the entire console or the piece that replaces the front glass holder? I have the sensor in the front.

    I guess I don't understand? I decided to restore my 06 rather than purchase a new truck. I removed the interior, replaced the carpeting, removed (& replaced after painting) windshield And had all the dents hammered out and straightened. Replaced the left front fender, the tailgate top rail trim piece ,both headlights & the rear bumper as well as new front bumper and fog lights...,:mudding::burnrubber:

    I think it was that your yard looks like a wrecker's yard. He's basically saying "clean up"
