Just some suggestions: Have you checked your tranny, diff, and t-case fluid levels ? As Kaneman suggests, have you greased your driveline ? Better make sure that these are all full/greased. Next, what tires do you have on your Runner ? Have you rotated them recently ? How about tire pressure ? You have the proper air pressure in them ?
Good luck. Let us know how you do with correcting your issue.

However, they tested another V8, and heard a lesser but similar noise at that speed, and decided that it must be the way the part is designed.
Thus, they refuse to fix anything unless more people complain, and only then will Toyota engineers research it.
