UGH! what a weekend

Like i said UGH

(SAT)Well it started off fine. It was a great weekend with the temps in the upper 60's. So i washed and waxed the truck got it looking good. Then my mother stoped over so i could work on her camry(stalling problems) Replaced the plugs - wires - dist cap -rotar- and ing coil. Got that all done and went back to the truck to finish it up. Well it got dark out so i put all my stuff away to come back out on Sunday.Well sunday came and i went to the truck to start it up and all i got was CLICK tried again CLICK and again CLICK. My starter had DIED now i was ahving problems with it durning winter but this time it was gone. Now i have a truck all cleaned up and nowhere to go cause it cant.So i took out the starter checked the contacts and they where just about gone. So now i have to call toyota on monday and get some new starter contacts. OH WAHT A JOYOUS WEEKEND

thats my rant :cry:

Sorry to hear about the starter. I blew today repainting my Smittybilt stuff - after washing the rig. Maybe TOy's prefer to be dirty...

I had a great weekend. I spent all day wheeling with another TTORA-NE member. I got my truck nice and dirty.

It's still dirty... I guess I know what I am doing tomorrow.

I usually go to Davis Toyota on McKinight in the North Hills. I bought my Runner from them when they were out on Rt.8 in Etna. Not sure if they'll have it in stock though. Call and talk to John Barnes - he's the parts manager. 412-318-3008. Tell him Mike with the Celica with the big sound system sent you (that's how he remembers me) Spitzer in Monroeville are a$$es. No experience with the one on West Liberty or Andretti by the airport other than talked to them about buying a used Runner once.
