amazing! I had a blast - but I'm completely exhauted today
Well Boston....Let's just say....I sure as he!! hope you didn't get stuck with the lemon I had.....In fact I'm sure you didn't.....or you would still be stuck on the side of that mountain:jester:
It was a Black Cherry....and yes Toyota bought it back from me....but acording to the attorneys....Toyota was so upset with the failure rate on that rig...They said they were gonna' send it back to japan and disect it to figure out what went wrong with it. It was a first month production rig...
Rear diff replaced twice
Front diff replaced once
Auto tranny replaced once
Windshield seal replaced(and computer fixed as a result)
all pully replaced too many times to count
A/C compressor replaced
A-trac system dead at time of buy back
That's all I remember off the top of my head......
It cost me nothing!!!!
In fact I think I made a few bucks:bigthumb:
Mine did still have a white roof.....even though that was replaced too!!!!!(my fault/my money) But that rig does look alot like mine did at one point:lol:
And for those that don't know....I bought a new FJ and never had a single problem yet (well.....a couple sets of pullies...but that's normal)
Here's my new baby........

I don't know how much of the misfortune of BC's rig was equipment related... He's a super nice guy, but when he put his coilovers on backwards and I *TOLD* him, based on his description that he'd done that (All-Pro W.E.s are right and left sided) he scoffed at the impossibility of it, and instead ground down his sway bar to fit.

Some days, but ONLY when I am standing at the gas pump...I wish that WE had bought a civic!
Actually......more like a DIESEL to run the forever out of reach SVO dream I am still chasing.
