just to throw it out in the open.. the bolts that hold the rear sprocket on come loose quite often on the pred.. it would be good to check them and maybe use some loctite on em...
most people know this.. but for those who dont.

 

You may have a prob with bearings/carrier/or axle. If torqued properly there is really no reason for them to loosen. Thanks for the heads up though.

 

have you had any tranny problems? I just blew up third gear totally bummed

 

they bolts have come loose on every pred that i have come into contact up here... and ive heard of the problem quite a bit on here and other forums also..
and ya my tranny blew too.
