I have a 1997 Toyota 4runner SR5 4WD 5-speed FS/FT. It has ~221,000 mi and I am the third owner. Runs and drives with no real issues and has never left me stranded. 4WD high and low work great. I have owned the truck for approximately 1 year and in that time I have replaced valve cover...

Dang, I don't think I'll be able to make it to this one.

Towing my 1973 Super Beetle. Weighs in at just under 2000 lbs.

Wish I could make it but I'm gonna be working that weekend.

I'm down for making another trip out there

Sent a private message to everyone in this list. If you didn't get it let me know and I will forward it on to you.

I may also have a couple motorola walkie talkies and I'll bring them if I can find them. May get close to enough for everyone if a few bring them along. Another option would be if everyone downloaded Voxer on their smartphones but w/out cell service that could crap out on us.

CBs would be nice but I'm not sure who all has them installed. I've gotta broken CB in the garage but it's not going to be installed in time. It looks like hard rock opens up at 10. If we all meet up around 8:30 or 9 we should be able to be there right about the time they open. That's...

Just a thought for those coming up from the south. We could meet up at the Pasco County Rest area on I-75. It's just north of SR 56 and is just over an hour from hard rock. Still gotta lock down what time everyone wants to get out there. I like to be out there early but I know not everyone's...

I'm definitely in for the 29th.

How does everyone feel about the 29th vs the 28th? I've got something that came up on the 28th so the 29th would work better for me.

Not the exact same issue as yours but my truck was overall running like shit until I replaced my valve cover gaskets. My truck was missing a bit, idling rough, and throwing several CEL codes. The valve cover gaskets were leaking a bit but I was able to ignore it (lost about a quart between oil...

Started this thread over a month ago but now hopefully setting a date. Sorry for being a bit flaky, my work schedule has been jacked up recently and I'm also planning a wedding. I'm thinking March 28th or 29th. Either of those work so just wanna see if anyone else has a preference. I'm...

Finally replace valve cover gaskets that have been leaking since I bought the truck. Valves were surprisingly clean considering I bought it w/ 215K on the clock and no maintenance records. Boring, tough job but it had to done.

hey y'all, anybody still interested in a trip in the next couple months. Throw some dates out there and see if anything works for a few of us. As a side note, I'm gonna be making a trip to Citrus on Wednesday. I'll probably be going alone but if anybody wants to meet up and head up there...
