    I have a 2009 tacoma 4x4 SR5.. It is new and only has 7500 miles. I recently added Aries Brush guard, westin step rail, tool box, vent visors, and bug reflector... Ever since the local shop installed the parts between 50-70 mph i feel and hear a slight vibration and it is driving me crazy. It is not a bad vibe but suttle enough to feel and hear. The faster i travel the more obvious the vibe is between 50-70mph.. The truck also has factory tires on it.. I am curious to know if it is because of wind traveling through and across the new bug reflector or brush guard or something else.. any opinons appreciated...thanks

    I wouldnt think any of those would cause a vibe. Would take a good look underneath, did they bang anything installing the bush guard? That or may-be i tire weight got knocked off. just the other day i had a bad vibration on anything above 50 mph. I know nothing changed, but it has been snowing preatty good. so took to car wash and cleaned out the rims, problem solved.
