Infiltrator is BACK!!!!

Yeah, all you Yotatechers think I was gone forever, but I am back now, and ready to rumble.

As some of you know, I was rear-ended in my beautiful 1995 4runner with almost 200,000 miles. I was devistated.

Well today is the day I bought my 2nd Yota. It is a 2001 Tacoma Extended Cab with an e-locker and 166,000 miles. It is a beauty. I will get more pictures up today.
Got some black steelies, and some nice big tires.

Infiltrator is back!!!

Well, wanted to say I found my first problem with my Taco (nothing is perfect right?). It leaks powersteering fluid. I would say it is a "moderate" leak, so I need to put some in again, and have some for reserve.

Does anyone know how many quarts of PS fluid that the Taco takes? Just curious, if it is a hose or something, how much would that cost for labor? I don't wanna do it myself...

Yeah, let's hope I never have to start a thread like that again haha.

Nice truck, too! Wanna sell that 3rd with the locker?

Yeah, my back and neck are doing much better. I wouldn't be able to drive that thing without turning my neck. It is a beast.

Well, I have to say one thing about this truck. When I pulled into my garage, oil was leaking everywhere!!! I am talking about 2+ quarts here dumping out. I felt like I got a lemon for a truck. But this morning I contacted the owner who is a mechanic, and he sent a towtruck to my house, and said he will fix it for free. Pretty nice right? I am gonna drive this thing for a week, and if I get any more problems, I will sell it. I love the power, and love the "get up and go", but yesterdays leak and surges me scared. No check engine light came on either.

Lets hope my lemon turns into a cherry (or whatever). Wish me luck guys. I hope it's not a bad headgasket/cracked block.

How's it going? Did the PO fix everything? Hope you're happy with the new digs (truck), and let us know how it's going. Don't become a jeep guy or anything........
