    Just wondering if anyone has replaced their carrier bearing cross member or reinforced their original crossmember to help with vibration issues. Or, Is there an after market crossmember which isn't paper thin ?

    any vibes from the center bearing are from the fact that the rubber support is super soft and allows for ALOT of driveshaft movement (as the prerunners have no slip joint on the rear section of the driveshaft)

    Also bad joint angles can cause the vibe.
