Possibly a really dull question, but the hood on my 95 RRC SWB shakes/wobbles when I drive it on the highway or at speeds over 60mph. Is there something I can tighten or do to help this stop?
Thanks!

Hmmmm...where to start? Is the latch properly adjusted and closing completely? Are the hinges worn or loose? Is there a wheel bearing or swivel ball worn? Are the tires balanced? Is there a problem with the CV joints? I think finding the source of the vibration most important.

There should be an adjustable nut and bolt with a rubber buffer at each front corner of the hood. You may have lost one or both of the buffers. Adjusting these may help with the hood shake.

I'll third this. I replaced the rubber buffers (which were missing) and wobbles no more. You may need to actually adjust the nut as well, but in my case, I simply need to add the rubber buffers. Now, at any speed, the bonnet is completely stable, no more wobbles.

I had these and they were awesome. Never another worry.
