well, the title pretty much sums it up! this evening i took my first drive in my 4runner since mid july! i started off doing a brake line overhaul and kept finding more and more problems. i've been borrowing my buddy's 2000 ZR2 blazer ever since, which is a pretty nice nice truck, no doubt. but i like my 4runner so much more! man did i miss her!

next project(s):
1. find EXACTLY where and fix coolant leak (pretty sure it's a head gasket leak, but not 100% sure). the good news is that it isn't smoking (coolant isn't getting into the combustion chamber) and my oil is still black (not into the crankcase either) so i can keep driving it and add more fluid every other week or so.
2. figure out why my horn randomly stopped working over the past 3 months while i was dickin' around with brake lines. i haven't even begun looking yet, but i have no idea why it would have stopped while i was doing what i just got done with. maybe it came unplugged or something, haha.

I remember driving my truck the first time after doing my my timing chain and all my gaskets. I had a Motor Vehicle Accident during the time I was doing the repair and spent some time in the hospital. I was really something driving after more than a month.

PS. There is no "American", there's proper and improper English. I'm afraid the above fell into the latter category.
