not a damn thing... when i go above 60mph, it starts to shake alot. i had wheels balanced and rotated but still does the same... could this happen cuz my tires have lumps on them? and how can you tell if your tires have lumps on them?

it seems like that back end is what shakes... and before i got the tires rotated, it started shaking at 45mph, now it shakes at 60... so that's why i was thinking it's the tires.

Discovered I am leaking worse than the exxon valdeez. I have a gas tank leak in the back (that I have no idea how it got there...) and my power steering pump continues to leak at a rate that is becoming a real issue really fast.
Edit: Just discovered the source of the leak: A 'deer' dent on the driver's side. Probably from when I got stuck on old mother hill....ugh.

Got my trail report and tire review posted, finally.
For later today: Junkyard for new gas tank (I dented and cracked the old one, see my trail report
) and power steering pump? maybe on the pump.
Found my power steering leak just now, it's leaking from the pump itself (greaaaaat.)

Went wheeling on saturday and royally screwed up my paint on a VERY tight trail. I managed to add a massive gash from the front wheel all the way to the rear courtesy of a rather intrusive pepper tree branch. Not to mention all 365,000 other new scratches I added, I guess it's time to add more bedliner to the exterior... I also developed a pretty bad wobble at 55+ mph after this trip, not sure if it's my alignment or my tires being out of balance. I'm also gonna have to check out the front suspension/steering to see if I damaged anything...
