the front tyres are more worn than the rears, but would this wind up cause a rotating rattle/knock so bad you can feel the wheel 'choking'?

Hi andrew, Yes, I meant locking the CD. With the wheel locking up I mean.....that the wheel/axle (I believe it only was the drivers side one) had trouble turning and felt like the brakes were being applied off and on

We've had quite a bit of snow overnight so I engaged the 50/50 4wd this morning. The rattling/knocking became somewhat worse on accelerating but even more so when cornering. When turning left on full lock to park the car, the wheels almost locked up :o I'm puzzled :?

I suspect a CV joint. Will investigate this when the snow is gone. Not sure when that is, because there is loads more coming tonight :?

I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the a/c. In that case it would also be audible at revving the engine at stand still. I do see some sense in Niki's post, but I have aftermarket 18" wheels with firmly locked hub caps. The mrs took the LC out today and reported that the only time she...

it does it without, I haven't tried it with a/con

agreed. Big brother is watching too much as it is..and other low lifes...If I would put inmy exact coordinates I'd have the same. Loch Lomond will do

if I click you now...you seem to be located corrrectly

aye. I turn out to be in Florida lol Nice turn, but Scotland is a wee bit more wet..lol

I'm pretty sure it's nothing resonating as I can almost feel the rattle. I def comes from the front. I say it's at the right front, but the mrs (who can hear a mouse squeek from 10 miles) swears it's more centre front

It's a metal sort of rattle. when I rev the engine up at stand still it's all very smooth. Exhaust and egine mounts seem not an otion as it's a rather 'quick' rattle :?

Thanks for that Dave. It's an auto It's actually worse on high revs, but only when accelerating hard. When I acc. normal there is no noise

:text-offtopic: Hi Niki, Glasgow not that far from me. I'm 10 miles north of Balloch :) I might be able to give you a hand

I've recently updated the sound system and have driven without a stereo a few days :shock: It was then when I noticed a kind of rattling noise when accelerating and cornering. More noticeable on hard acc. not really there when normal acc. and not there at any steady speed. It seems to be...

I know. 1 ended last night. It was for a '98 and on Amazon, didn't think it would fit :?

Now that we've established the correct terminology.......I take it, no one has made his own A-bar? ;)

:D One like the first pic yes. The last pic :shock:

Thanks guys :thumbup:

Do the Amazon and Colorado share the same chassis?

lol..umm..That's a bit too drastic. I meant copying an existing bull bar.

Yep, I've tried the search option. Nothing came up :? Maybe it's the booze from last night interfering still :D

Has anyone made his/her own bull bar? Pics?

thanks guys :thumbup:

Tanks Gav, I'll have a look if I have these belts fitted. Thank you for the offer as well, very generous :thumbup:

My cruiser was advertised as being an 8 seater. I've seen others advertised like that as well. Am I missing something, I can only find 7 seats :? :)

haha yeah, there is a train station in Wales called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch :shock: Nice word to use in a sobriety test :laughing-rolling:

Thanks Karl :thumbup:

Hi Chris, thanks for that :thumbup:

:D geen Vlaming,..Nederlander ;) yeah, we've had about a foot of snow here, more expected in a few days :)

Awel zunne, dank je voor de info Chris :thumbup: I'll take the cover off tomorrow and have a poke around....

yep, someone woke up and accepted my registration ;)

Hello, Just bought my new toy and have introduced myself politely in the correct section :) I have a question regarding the timing belt.... I have no evidence of when it was last changed so will probably do this soon. What is the change interval? I believe the 3.4 is a non-interference engine?

I just had a look at J66p's ride..LOVE the 4" lift..,very tempting :)

Thanks guys :) J66p has the same wheels too?

Hello everyone, Bought my first Landcruiser a few says ago and am very impressed with it. It's a 1997 Colorado LWB 3.4 V6 VX A in green/silver. I live at the banks of Loch Lomond so a nice cruiser like this is very handy over here :) I've owned 2 other 4x4s in the past; a Jeep Cherokee 4.0 Ltd...
