98 Joes

Just thought I'd stop in and say hi. I just bought my first 4Runner. It's a 94 SR5 without a sunroof. One of the few in my area without one. I bought it for $5K after they were asking $7000. Man, does cash talk. I took it down to the dealer for an inspection. I figured if anyone was going to find something wrong, they would. All they came up with was a 'possible' leaking valve cover and the muffler was starting to get rusty. Not bad, I thought. They're going to change the muffler for me (lifetime warranty on it too) and I'll do the valve covers and check the valve adjustment. They quoted $371 to change the gasket. OUCH!! That hurt. Anyway, so far, I LOVE this truck.

And to think I was considering a Ford Exploder.

Looking forward to coming back often.

If anyone is wondering why my username is 98 Joes and my real name is Doug, it's because I also have a 98 Honda CBR600F3 Smokin' Joes replica bike and I just keep reusing the same username and password. I'm too dumb to remember more than one.

If there's anyone out there who owns a Honda Sportbike, check out http://www.hondasportbike.com I'm a moderator over there and there are about to be some exciting things happening for our members.

Thanks for the welcome. So far, I love the 4Runner. Slow is right, but I don't care. Sometimes it's actually fun to watch them Hondas go blasting by me. And the view down into some of those cars is. . . well. . . pretty nice.
