Wow, that sucks. Your dog looks one of kind. I bet if you get the word out on the internet and post up some signs you will get the dog back. Hopefully your cell # is on the collar.

I'll hit you up with a pm later on or Monday when I have a little time to type up a few directions for ya.

Good call Durk. If I were in hkt_up position and they were going to stuff me with the bill, I would ask them for the torque spec. I wouldn't get rude but I wouldn't let them dodge the question either. This is all under the assumption that it's the same shop that replaced the timing belt, and...

Dj Elite Are you from around here? Are you familiar with the area, and where you can take your runner? If you need some ideas I can help you out.

Ha Ha, that would be kind of funny. Keep an Eye on the New Member forum.

Sounds like a possible steal. Who knows, maybe the blocks not even craked.

Clogged cooling system, bad thermostate, bad water pump. Probably would start with the t-stat.

Oh no, terrorists hijacked my thread! Just kidding. Though I can't say I'm too worried about posting plate numbers. If someone gives up their cash, well, I don't know that the scammer is any more to blame. Perhaps ignorance has some value in that equation. If your willing to send someone a...

I am liking all this info. Thanks guys. Deff. keep it comin. I like the magnet idea as I was wondering the same thing(whats the paint hiding). Like I said, my concerns are a straight body and frame with minimal rust. All else can be replaced or fixed by me.

There doesn't seem to be alot of these around here. So I will accept the auto. I'll ask the owner about the head gasket. If he doesn't know, do I just take the vin to a dealership? I would say that rust and straight frame and body are my biggest concerns as I am not a body guy, I can handle just...

more pics.

Thinking of checking out this 4Runner for purchase. Looks pretty good in the pics. Just wondering if there is anything I should be looking for when I go check it out. Already have my '97, buy I have always wanted a first Gen. Seller is asking $2500

I have stock rims, and had to grind them. That took the most time. Made a fast write-up. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/81551-tbu-completed.html

Ok, how bout those crappy tires?
