The 4Runner?? Haha...Forrest has soo much money dumped into it, he's never gonna sell it. It's not really a project anymore either. Already SAS'd and has a new engine in there...just wont run Its complete otherwise...a true trail truck. However, he's rolled it on on the highway, but not on the trail. Hopefully next trip, he'll be one and one.

Show her this web site.

Iit's all about Toyotas that have a lot of miles. One the biggest benefits to having a toyota is longevity. Do a search and you can find a lot of threads that talk about how many miles people have gone with-out any problems. I own two Toyotas. One has 200,050, and other than baisc oil changes and tune ups, all i've ever done is put a starter on it. My truck has 276,000 miles and hasn't has many more problems than that.

Why dont you buy me one mister money bags??

Your DD is a jeep that seems to be broken more than your 4Runner. And maybe I would have one if someone would pay the freakin bills ontime and not 2 months late You are the only one that wishes I had a trail truck. You need a freind to play with...pooor forrest

I love our love squabbles Forrest...lets me keep door closed and from seeing your ugly pudum.

I don't find it so much funny as you having to comment on everything I say in a negative way. Oh well and damn waiting a week for a check from my parents to cover a check to you is real hard...

Here's what I would do from personal experience with the wranglers....I would test drive one with her, and have her drive it. Now,try to get one with a straight 4 and a soft top for maximum effect. Then find the nearest interstate and have her drive down it at 80. Make sure you pass a few 18 wheelers, or have some pass you. As soon as you stop and are able to pry her white knuckles out of the permanent gouges they have just left in the steering wheel, she will be cured of the "Barbie Jeep" thing--Gauroonteeed.

Note: remember to bring some valiums along--she will undubitably need them.
