How We Cured a Nasty Driveshaft Vibration in Our New Mini-Truck. Episode 2

Last time on Finnegan's Garage you saw me road trip this sweet 1985 Nissan 720 mini-truck home from Alabama and this time we get to workin out the kinks in the drivetrain. While it runs great, it is not the smoothest thing in the world. The problem is related to lowering the suspension without addressing the affects of relocated driveline. Lowering the truck changed the angles of both the u joints and the driveshaft and combined with a wasted carrier bearing, resulted in a wicked vibration that you could see and feel in the shifter.

First Road Trip In My Truck And There's Fire On The Boulevard! Episode 17

Episode 401 of Mike Finnegan's Garage marks the very first time we've driven the mini-trucks on a road trip. We journeyed to Maggie Valley, North Carolina to attend the Southeast Mini Truckin Nationals and the event did not disappoint. The best collection of show trucks I've ever seen combined with an epic cruise spot made this an event we won't miss in 2027. To prepare for the trip we had to give my air bagged 1985 Toyota pickup a serious tune and figure out how to pack all of our gear into one truck bed because we weren't trailering the trucks to the show. Aside from running into some firewood left in the road we had zero issues but the same couldn't be said for a fellow mini trucker named Joey Johnson, who's GMC Sonoma caught fire while cruising the boulevard and burnt to the ground. Rest assured he's going to rebuild the truck and we are going to help out any way we can
