Hi, New to this forum but hoping you might have some advice. Not my first Landcruiser by any means, but first one with a bit of a problem. Brand new single cab 79 series with a non-Toyota -top quality tray installed. Has a noisy gear box - like a grinding noise in low gear at take off. Gear box has been replaced and noise still there. Toyota suggesting that non-gen tray has "changed inbuilt rigidity" causing noise and vibration to be transmitted through to gearbox. This sounds like a transferrance of responsibility to me.
Any suggestions? We're thinking - possibly throw out bearing but would be interested in hearing if anyone else has encountered this problem? Short of removing canopy, electricals and tray - not sure how to work out cause of noise. TIA
Charles
