This afternoon I decided to put the Pioneer in 4x4 for normal riding to see if there was any noticeable difference in the ride or steering. What I found was a noticeable increase in vibration felt in the steering wheel and gas pedal during acceleration and is most pronounced about 28 mph and smooths out over 30ish. Anyone else ride theirs in 4x4 and notice the same?

I have noticed the same vibration in 4x4 and also sometimes at lower speeds in 2 wheel drive when you accelerate.

Thanks Bobbo64!! Good to know its not just mine. Im sure its not a problem and I'll hardly run in 4x4 on smooth terrain anyway. I think it's probably more noticeable since the Pioneer is so smooth and there's hardly any vibration to begin with.

I have noticed it also. I doesn't really bother me. I know where it's coming from and I know there is nothing wrong just the way it is.

Not to change the subject but had anyone else noticed there parking brake cable chattering at the rear caliper after the cable gets stretched out a little from using it. I noticed it and have tightened it up and it stops but till does it every once in a while.
