    Long time lurker, finally making an account cause I can't find an answer via search. And I wanna order the premade hood scoop light bar kit. And I'll need to advertise some lightbar bracket clamp kit some dude is using my truck to fab right now.

    I have a 2010 prerunner access cab 6spd that I bought at 22k in 2011. It's mostly stock because it's supposed to be the more reliable of our two vehicles. I also share/do most the work on my wife's 2007 JKU that's all jacked up fancy shit. Don't have to much knowledge on modding tacos and most our money goes to guns and jeep, so I'm all bout the bubba rig.

    Currently I'm just trying to fix all issues so it runs like new( get rid of all squeaks, chirps,creaks, god awful vibration 40-60 ). I'm also slowly trying to bump it to cool status, I didn't wheel when I bought it and didn't think of a 4wd, but have since wheeled it heavily. Got stuck less than 10 times, so I know what I'm doin now.

    Curious if its leafs or shocks that make every bump make it sound like you picked up a hooker in GTA or the beginning of that Trillville song. Been researching the 5100's and patiently waiting on local stealership to have leaf TSB ready.

    I know I can't do much for my TOB chirp, it's from sand right? Was able to wash jeep TOB to make it quit but not this.

    I have a turbulent shake in seats, cab, steering wheel when going 40-60, exact mph changes when I change FR wheel. Makes me believe it's coming from there. It's not u joints cause I recently changed all them and had shaft balanced. All joints are holding grease, not split. No visible excess play in susp. Just put on new used tires yesterday, so balance was done. Did it before on roadforce balanced street 265's, found some 285 m/t's with good tread for $140, couldn't turn that down. Didn't fix. At a total loss there. Started after a wheeling trip mocking jeep flex I wanna say.

    And thanks to yalls intel, was cut inner fender liners, temp removed front flares to prevent rub. Getting a 2.5 budget boost(leveling kit, spacers) off Craigslist this weekend and thinking bout wheel spacers, have em on jku.

    Any insight on anything would be much appreciated.

    Oh yeah, live round Pensacola/Destin/Panhandle FL area. Have construction/auto tech background and horrible ADD. Prefer to do all work myself. I'm also the inventor of the Bumper Buster mod and so far, the only asshole with one that I know of.
