Like I said on the other thread, MANY thanks to those who helped me get the truck back on all 4's and running. Thanks to Juan for helping get Erica and Marley out of the truck and Greg for all the help with pulling those PITA spark plugs. I love how as soon as we got the oil out of the cylinders and the plugs back in, it fired right up. 196k miles on the clock and the ole 3VZ-E is still kickin'. Drove just fine on the way home. Might need to clean up some oil out of the engine bay, but other than that and a new window in back and it's good as.....well....not quite new, but back to normal anyway. 
I hope everybody had fun despite having to sit around on Rocky Mount for longer than expected. Looking forward to the next trip!

Marley's been wheelin' for a long time, so he wasn't too freaked out, though he obviously did want to get out of the truck when it was on its side. I looked back and he was sitting where the rear side window used to be, on top of the broken glass. Once we got the rear window rolled down, he got out and went about playing w/ the other dogs on the trail while we rolled the truck back over. I looked him over when I got a chance and didn't seen any cuts. He was fine the next day too, though he was really worn out from all the playing w/ the other dogs!
Old thread revive. Can someone tell me the specifics of the Maroon/Burgandy FJ-80? Thats where I'm headed with Whitey..Nice trip..
