Read the latest Big Bear trip report, and you'll see what he will be working on next.

It was looking good for the Kings Cyn trip though.

[Good Times]

stupid 4runner is on vacation. I kinda hurt my ankle last week and still recovering from it so no wrenching until I can walk. damn crutches!!!

Here's a short list of items to fix now from my recent Big Bear trip:

* Add an exhaust (so I can pass smog this fall)
* Repair my downpipe and crossover pipe (exhaust) cuz it decided to crinkle. Make sure my O2 sensor line didn't get ripped out cuz right now it's not connected and I have that infamous CEL. (due to the stupid O2 sensor not plugged in)
* Make some new lower links cuz apparently the ones I made were junk. Guess I didn't calculate my weight figures correctly cuz one side decided to "bow" a bit. (not crazy bent but enough that I'm not happy about the results).
* rebuild front passenger coilover to make sure it doesn't come apart. Guess I need to use some red locktite to perm keep the rod and the rod end connected.
* power steering reservoir is leaking. I guess I have a crack in the plastic! (bah)

O yeah and also work on my trailer so I can pimp it at Pismo! woo hoo!

Outside of the headaches I had in BB the 4runner has been great! Too bad I don't drive it enough before things break to enjoy it. I'm sure many of ya can relate!

[Crinale]

definitely can relate... why does stuff have to break so easy? parts should be able to take more than one hard hit on a rock :-P

[slosurfer]

His driveway doesn't have whoops in it, so no vids.

[Obi..]

^ROFL..Chris>PWND>Lance! Get the thing running, or do I have to visit Pismo?

[jrock]

ah shucks, still down huh..get her done!

[Good Times]

get her done? dude it's never done! there's always something else to work on ;P

the truck is running and I'll be driving it around the OC area next week just to make sure it doesn't get too lazy sitting in my garage. I've got a small trip I'm taking next weekend with Chris so hopefully I'll have some "action" shots or at least some "boring" stills.

Truck ain't pretty anymore now it's just a beater!
