it actually did turn up to be the valve cover on the passenger side ... got in there and did them both, though ... although this was quite a few months ago ... everything seems to be running great now ... got me all the way to kansas to school and all, so we're doing good!!!

aww, i've built the biggest trucks you've ever seen, but even with a running leap and a bound off of a trampoline i still can't get in ... maybe a slight exaggeration, but i think ya'll will get the point ... i've got other wheeling rigs for now ... the T4R is my daily, and it's already got...

not really planning on it ... to be honest, i've got a suburban for all the offroading and crap i want, as well as a jeep ... this is more or less going to be my DD, and i'd kinda like to keep it from rusting as much as possible, and keeping the running boards on will do that for me ...

got the stripe off and got it re-painted and it looks pretty good ... matches the grill and air dam now ... so it's cool ... next plan of attack - afford a new alternator and valve cover gaskets ...

fishing's ok ... i've big time into trout fishing ... not so huge into pike or anything else, but i guess that comes with my natural territory of growing up fishing only for trout, but to each their own ... fishing today was kinda lame ... it was too sunny, so not much luck ... i had quite a...

haha ... it's a done deal ... i'm actually headed out to the river in about a half an hour to go fishing before work ... and snowboarding, i have to pathetically say i've never been ... my knees have always been screwed up after the cross country season, so i'd spend all winter in physical...

don't buy girls things, unless they're trucks, lol ... in all honesty, from a girl's perspective, guys in highschool suck ... they have just as much PMS ... and i'm kinda figuring out that the whole PMS thing comes from trying to figure out how to get girls ... ugh, such a vicious cycle ...

you don't need a girl to get over her, you need one crappy old truck that requires a lot of TLC ... much more worth it in the end ...

i'm a huge fan of autolites ... never had a problem ... i run their lower level platinum ones ... they run about 2.69 at checker auto ... they recommend AP3924 ... i've always run autolites and always been pretty impressed ...

for sure!!! if you don't mind me asking, where did you get your grille guard from??? i'm lookin' around for something and open to pretty much anything ... so, i got the sticker stripe off and got it repainted and it looks amazing ... it's pretty dang sweet ... so now i've gotta put in new valve...

what i usually do is park it out in my field ... put my hose attachment onto mist or gentle shower and get it all good and damp. I then can "risnse" a majority off without going high pressure ... always make sure you get under any plastic "protectors" around the fenders and such ... get...

haha ... it's always real hilarious when we go mudding or trailing or wheeling ... there's always some new young stud who thinks him and his truck is hot stuff ... they all do the smack talking, and then i drive up and jump out, and i'm a chic ... the looks on their faces are always hilarious...

definitely manual ... i've owned now three stick shift vehicles and only one automatic ... from double clutches to synchromesched, i wouldn't trade in my stick for anything ... from sports cars to SUVs to 2.5 ton grain trucks, that's what i grew up driving from day one ... it's hard for me to...

have any of you done the solid front axle conversion??? i've heard a lot about it, but i'm just wondering how smoothly it goes getting the IFS swapped to a solid axle ...

i've had my first 4runner for all of a week and a day now ...
