Driveline vibe caused by skids?

 

I ask...because on the Landcruisers and 4runners I have built, putting a large heavy steel skid on has enabled me to feel the vibrations of the drive train in the cab. Not horrible, just noticeable.

Now the skids I put on were made by IronPig and they did not mess around. Probably the beefiest skids I have ever seen.

 

on my tacoma, the RCI skids didn't cause any vibrations to begin with. I now have a nasty vibration noise that I need to track down, that I believe might be skid related/a skid bolt coming loose.
However on my Wife's 4runner she does get some vibration and noise cause by the skid. I believe its the transfer or transmission skid. Its really noticable at certain speeds and when the AC is on. that is suppose to be an easy fix. I just need to add a spacer of some kind to one of the skids. To be honest Im too fat to crawl up under the stock height 4runner to add such spacer. maybe next time its on a lift somewhere, I can get it done.

 

Just use a CC. It’s the American way

 

Those are spoken for. Lol

 

Ugh!!

 

yeh haw!!! Electrical work is so much fun. Enjoy it! lol

 

Yea, just getting my bearings. Still waiting on the terminal block to show up. Not looking forward to it...lol

 

That little guy looks familiar

 

Figure that crap out. That way you can help me with mine, if I ever get to that level.

 

Haha, took me 20 minutes to figure out what stickers to put on the switch panel...poured a bourbon, turned on the Braves...things are good now.

 

I had to roll with a Bantam. There are just going to be too many connections in my setup.

 

Bantam?

 

You roll with Batman?!!









Joking people

 

Any of you guys look at running accessories through a radio that has the accessory add on capability?? I’m highly considering it now... I understand the reliability of the switches may not be as high but it’s still enticing...

This guy has the exact setup I’m looking at, skip to the end of the video to see the switching part...

I need to do this as well! Where did you buy everything from?

 

That looks pretty sweet! Definitely a way to go.

This is a well put together article that includes everything you will need to order, I also went with the Expedition Essentials Sunglass Holder mount for the Switch Pro. I like my little cubby to the left and didn't want to lose it.

 

Right?? Although pricey, it just seems like the best all around, inclusive package I’m looking for!

I’ve been wanting to purchase additional gauges for more engine monitoring (running the TRD SC), as well as wanting to get some sort of switch panel for all my current/future accessories and this literally covers all of those in a neatly packaged unit.
