The 5 guys who BS on the forum BS Thread

makes the wallet cringe though lol

 

Damn nice locations.

My girlfriend and I accidentally found our (her) dream venue when her parents gifted us wine tasting in Malibu one year. Really cool winery with a guest house that they include in the wedding package for the newly weds for 4 days after. Free wine and ability to roam the grounds in one of their jeeps (or my 4runner). It is huge and I'm afraid to look at prices lol.

My dream location for a wedding... MOAB lol

 

thats awesome, bit of a drive for me though lol

 

nice! Im stoked. simple country style wedding with a close group of friends. Im ready for it to happen, 24 days remaining.

We officially stayed under $8500

 

Dude that is a ridiculously good price! Should be a fun time too with close friends.

 

damn, i want to have a small wedding so bad but family alone for myself is 45...

 

100 people, Alcohol, Flowers and decorations all gifted and we made. Got a significant discount on the venue because the woman went to school with her.

 

looks like I'm having a destination wedding in cali

 

you guys see the beer wall i made for the wedding?

 

damn right i did. alcohol shouldn't be a problem for me, uncle runs a brewery. heres a shameless plug for it

"a truck" lol

 

so i drained some of my coolant out of the radiator to see how much oil is in it from the blown HG which ive been driving with for a month now (with no overheating) and its totally clean. not a speck of oil. so wtf

 

Thought it was the other way around, the coolant gets into the head and it burns off? I have no idea, I've never blown a HG before, but I always figured you would overheat because you got low on coolant, now that there was oil in it.

 

my passenger side cam gusset tab is bent over. Lasted longer than i thought it would, time to buy TC gussets

 

well I'm loosing some coolant, not much, and replacing as i go. i haven't even come close to overheating yet, never more than 2-3* above normal. i know theres oil in my coolant cause i can see it at the radiator cap, but apparently its not percolating through the whole system and just floating on top

 

Pushing the limits, dangerous man you are ..........

I would have parked it and had it torn down for repairs as soon as I noticed it.

 

if it was running poorly at all thats what would happen, but i've yet to have it overheat or get close so i have to continue driving it. would cost me more to miss work. its at the dealer at the moment though

 

service writer called. spoke to him and a tech who is performing tests on the 4runner now. they don't think i have a HG issue as its passed a combustion chamber leak test and compression test. no oil in coolant or coolant in oil either

 

so you're a hypochondriac?

 

i hope so. naturally theres someone on t4r who has to basically tell me I'm an idiot because I'm listening to a tech when he tells me the tests have gone well so far

 

according to the dealer, i do not have a hg failure. minimum allowed compression is 145, oem spec is 190, my lowest was 189

 

Fingers are crossed hoping you get many more miles then.........

 

I'm hoping so. I'm doing a coolant flush, replacing the radiator and thermostat this weekend

 

Mmm taco twin sticks

 

i have a vibe in the rear thats really getting on my nerves.

 

Still haven't figured it out?

 

nope, tightened all the shit in the rear, checked rear for possibly bearing/hub play. Greased driveline, checked for play in the ujoints. Even rotated tires. Same shit.

 

Try disconnecting the drive shaft and putting around in fwd yet?

 

its only at freeway speeds
