    You'd be surprised how little mud will make it feel off balance.

    If cleaning the mud off doesn't resolve the issue, a rebalance of the tires will reveal if you bent a wheel. But, I doubt you bent a wheel from that.

    HELL YEAH, this is the rest of the mud I scraped off by hand last night, and apparently it did the trick, no more vibration... ... last night just doing 55mph, the steering wheel was vibrating violently, but all good now20250310_075706.jpg

    This is a perfect example of why the rear brake line routing on the new Tacoma is such a bad design.

    You mean, how did I get pulled out ????

    I've got a shackle for my hitch,...all top brand, nothing special and a 20ft tow strap, hooked up to the tractor that pulled me out, wouldn't have done it any diff, guy pulled me right out like it was nothing, maybe he could've went a tad slower lolol, but it was free. I wasn't complaining lol, hope that helps

    I have same set up, but have only been taking with during planed off roadIng. Your experience goes to show you how easy it is to get stuck unexpectedly. I’ll be keeping rescue gear with truck from now on.
