I cant get rid of a terrible vibration in my runner. I started by swaping tires and rims thinking i bent one and that wasn't it, I changed the u joints in the front and rear driveshafts and that wasn't it. going 60 mph and up It will shake u right off the road and if i leave it in 3rd gear and maintain 28-30 mph giving it gas i can feel it just real light though. I just don't know where to head next to figuring out whats wrong. if someone out there has some idea, i would greatly appreciate it.

Can you feel it through the steering wheel or the seat?
Steering wheel usually means something up front and the seat something towards the rear.
Check all your bearings. Usually you can do this by lifting the tire off the ground and with one hand at the top and one at the bottom see if you can feel any play in it.
Also check side to side on the tires. Play here usually mean steering, but not always true.
Also check that your steering system and shackles are all tight, and that the bushings are good.

Yeah i feel it in the seat and the floor once I get to 75 80 mph than i get it in the steering wheel, but maybe because everything else is vibrating to. But can a driveshaft get out of balance from nornal driving use? this rig has never been off-road so it hasn't had any abuse to it. but thanks for the imput, and this weekend i'll jack it up and see what i can find.

Have you by any chance had the driveshaft out before the vibes started?
