It shakes when gas is applied at speeds above 60 mph-more on some roads than others, and sometimes when accelerating even at lower speeds

I am currently having the same problem and suspect the engine mounts. I'll be checking them this weekend.

Do a test with tranny in drive instead of OD/over-drive, does the problem go away? If so I think it is an OD issue.
Check motor mounts and suspension. In the past, I've seen bad shocks cause a noticeable vibration at a certain speed. Below or above that certain speed, no vibration.

When accelerating 60 mph my truck shakes like it's coming apart

if it does not go away over 60 and does not shake too bad at lower speeds sounds like your drive shaft is outta ballance if you do any off roading you may have bent it hitting an object or could be something like the diff joints worn or broken shaking it with your hand will tell you that (should not move)

and remember you got 4wd so you have Two drive shafts

DEFINITE LURCH IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR,

This may apply. ...............................

Carry out the adaptation drive cycle road test:

Note: This process must be carried out in normal mode (not sports mode). On a flat road, the transmission fluid temperature must be above 60° C (140° f) and below 100° C (212° f) (vehicle at normal operating temperature will ensure that the transmission fluid temperature is above 60° C (140° f)).
9. Accelerate from rest with light throttle (do not exceed the upper rev limit in appendix 1). 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 shifts must occur with engine speed between the following limits:.
Note: Do not move the accelerator pedal during shifts.

• 3.0L VIN ALL 1800 - 2000 rpm
• 4.2L N/A Prior VIN M96321 1450 - 1600 rpm
• 4.2L N/A From VIN M963221550 - 1700 rpm

10. Continue to accelerate gently to 50 mph (80 km/h) so that transmission shifts into 5th gear.
11. Go into overrun and let the transmission shift down into 4th gear without braking.
12. Brake gently to a standstill and hold footbrake on for at least 15 seconds.
13. This process should be carried out at least five times.

Front End shaking

Most likely with this problem is the front tires. The tires maybe " out of balance " or " out of round " causing the vibration at certain speeds.

My car shakes after applying brakes at high speeds of 60 to 70 MPH on my 2001 / IS300 lexus. I recently had the rotors turned and put on new break pads before this problem really became noticable. I...

Well even though you had the rotors turned, they still could be warped and causing the car to shake at a high rate of speed when the brakes are applied. My suggestion is to replace the rotors asap.
