My bottom is moist.
ANYWAY, I drove the 4runner from St George UT to my in-law's in Idyllwild CA, it was 6.5 hour drive. Truck did well, got around 20mpg. While there my father-in-law gave me his old load master rack since he had no use for it. So the 4runner has a new hat!
I drove back home on Monday, we decided to go through Amboy CA. Some great views of the desert going that way.
New seats were comfortable, and the 4runner did it without complaint, now it's just a hair shy of 252,000 miles. |
Could be the valve covers dripping all the way down depending on how bad they are leaking.. Not sure if it’s in your wheel house but you should look into getting some tools and doing some of this stuff yourself (Timmy the toolman videos on YouTube help a ton) because the valve covers could probably get done for about 100$ with oem toyota parts.
