    My 2005 double cab 4x4 with 105K miles has developed a "whirring" noise in the front end at all speeds, it sounds almost like I have off road tires on (which I don't). I am running BF Goodrich long trail road tires. Anyone have any ideas such as wheel bearing or U-joint issue up front?? Help please!!

    If it is a whistle you should check the rubber above the grill, otherwise I would check the U-joint. usually those start to go out at about 200k+ but its possible.
