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.

 

DUDE, CONGRATS !!! Very glad to hear, nothing like driving to ol' yota again.

Let me know what you find on your coolant leak, still cant track mine down...

 

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.

 

I car a MVA during that time and was in the hospital?
Can you Translate that jibberish to AMERICAN please
