Death wobble is a very complicated thing. no single thing always causes it, and no single fix always cures it.

I also finally got around to pulling the gauge cluster out and blacking out the various warning lights that I've accrued over the years (7?). I'm sick of them blinding me at night.

built an impromptu rack in the Lowes parking lot to haul some 4x8 paneling. basically just used a few lag bolts to sandwich the roof bars between two 2x4s on each side. it's crooked as heck but worked like a charm.

*could* would be a better word. I've driven on a few bad/loose trackbars and have never experienced DW.

I've seen a few MJs that Chrysler still owns and so far that one is not among them. not even in the super secret storage building where I found the ThunderChief.

found this image online.

I'm a sucker for a stocker and that is one gorgeous example!

it's just a guess, but based on how straight it was when it stopped, I'd wager that the driver fell asleep and it zoomed on down the slope.

you might need to seek out a Toyota forum for a real in-depth discussion on the new-vs-old debate. Reliability is key since it's practically impossible to repair these new rigs without a dealership's computer.

really? shoots diwn the thought that they are all 5.25.

from the pics i saw, it looked like a single long day.

backspacing is the same, but offset will then be different (since that measures off the center)

are ravines 7" or 8"?

if I remember right, they have the same backspacing.

yup. they deserve all the monies and I bet it's just another day at the "office" for them too. note that they dragged that truck towards the bridge they were on too.

but... why are the ends already on that cable?

honestly, the seal is cheap enough that I'd probably just get one of both to hedge my bets.

have you posted the VIN in the registry? One of the members that works at a dealership can get you the build sheet data.

which trans do you have? you should add in some details of your truck to you signature.

I have this discussion with a buddy of mine all the time. He keeps trying to get me to buy a better quality pocket knife (he bought one in excess of $150 while I carry an old Leatherman Juice in desperate need of a sharpening), and I keep trying to get him to buy a better quality flashlight (I've got a $75 Fenix and he has a $10 something-or-other that's just... pathetic). each of us has different techno-phile passions. I can definitely see myself buying a top notch offroad light if I could afford it. Just because I want the best. The $40 chineseum bar I bought has some definite disadvantages.

Does it drive ok on the roads? what specifically is the truck doing when it falters? welcome to the club! you should put your truck's specs in your signature.

welcome! Be sure to add in your truck's specs to your signature.

there are plenty of license plate mounts available if it doesn't pan out.

what tires are you running? p.s. you should put some details in your signature
