Does the car come with the puppy?
I'm afraid not... we paid more for that dog than I'm asking for the car!

Re: 1999 4runner

Take it! Even if you end up with $2500 into it. My daily driver is a 1998 4Runner 3.4 with 285k miles on it.

Re: New T4WD Owner - Introduction

I have made gaskets from a the box the new thermostat came in. usually the any auto parts store will have a generic gasket that will work, about $1.00 or so, saves you from having to make one. O'Reilly had a gasket in stock to my surprise, I think it was $1.50. It had adhesive on one side to hold i...

Re: New T4WD Owner - Introduction

Thank you for the concise photos and write up and welcome! Thanks very much! congrats on the first time success of your major repair operation.
