Oh jeez,
Both those things seem friggin complicated. I'm a magician dude, I own my own store. Work 6 or 7 days a week. not exactly a mechanical type. I'll do a tune up and a thermostat and a oil change but much past that and my eyes glaze over. I got the LC 80 series because I thought it was just about the most reliable and capable 4X4 available. Did I get the wrong truck? Do I need to be a trigonometry reading double jointed pygmy with ten grand in tools and 3 days a month to work on this thing to keep it going for my wife and daughter? I've had my 4runner 4 years now. Just clicked 230,000 on the dash. Still purrs like a fat, heavy, tabby-cat. Barley needed any work so far. Climbs a tree if I want it to. 3" OME lift on cheap, used 31" BFG's. 16MPG all day long. I'm just hoping I'll get that kind of reliability out of this FJZ80.
I'll print out the drama and bring it to my mechanic.
If he can do both the fan clutch and the PHH for less than a kidney I'll buy him a beer, or 6.
I am NOT a romper, not interested in climbing the ninja mountain in Moab. I just want to go on any freaking road I want to, any time I want to do it, with my family, and not have to 2nd guess my truck.
WHere is my lucky rabbits foot?
