First, go buy a brand new bolt because where ever you take it to get removed, your going to need a replacement. Second, you might want to consider taking it to a muffler shop and have them weld a pipe or metal bar to the bolt and then you can spin the bolt loose.

I think we should first figure out a which day would work for all. I am available on the following days: 15th (Sunday) 22nd (Sunday) 28th (Saturday) 29th (Sunday)

Start with the basics i.e. spark, air, fuel. I would start by pulling each spark plug and check for spark. How is it idling? is it rough? smooth?

Is this still going to happen? If so, what date?

If it does not jeopardize the reliability or safety of the truck, then I would still choose it over the Ford or Chevy. In my opinion, Toyota still has a better track record of quality/reliability than any of the domestics.

That sounds like a pretty good idea. I can bring drinks... and a tow strap:D

I'm willing to go depending on what weekend. I've never been to Hollister nor wheelin for that matter. However, I am dying to try out the 4 wheel drive and capabilities of the 4runner. Let me know when you plan on going.

I was browsing a few other car forums and came across a post about Kragen/Checkers offering NGK Iridium spark plugs for 1.99 each. Typically these plugs cost around 11 to 12 bucks each, so I was a little skeptical about the price and thought it was probably a misprint. Turns out it was a...

Congrats man. Now you've got one that you can actually go wheelin in.h :bigok:

That can't be correct because our 4runners do not have drums, they have 4 wheel disc brakes.

You have a bad master cylinder. Someone else mentioned of having a bad master cylinder on this board, so that makes two people. It is uncommon for things like this to fail, but again not all things manufactured are 100% perfect. The good thing is that it will be covered under warranty...

NGK laser cut double platinums are OEM plugs for my Honda. The user manual says to change the plugs after 105k miles. Iridiums are better plug and cheaper than the platinums. I paid 7 bucks for each plug versus 12 bucks for the double platinums.

Get a Tacoma.

You have a bad or ripped outter CV axle boot. That is grease that has been spewed all over the inside rim, brake, and frame. Either you accidentally gouged/ripped a hole in it during installation or the clamp may have come loose. Squeeze the boot and see where the grease is coming out from...

Looks too much like the RAV4
