Body Damage is Cool

Yep, sadly my 4Runner gave it up. Re-shimming valves to stave off receding seats lasted a couple months. She's great on gas now and burning antifreeze <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'll post her up for sale here when I get back in a couple weeks.

In the meantime I moved on to an '07 FJ and me and the kids are taking the 3-Pedal Alpha Shortbus to OBX. Anybody else gonna be down there next week?

Actually, ya might've seen the USMC flying back from Cope Thunder up here; they were here for 3 weeks.

Methinks ya double posted. No F19s.

I wouldn't own a new FJ; big ol' blind spots for me. Check out my new Toy in the Taco section tho'. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Bums about the Runner; you have a lot of memories with that ol beastie.

spotty pirate wifi here, if I tried a few more times to get that post to go thru I would have been up to F-22's!
I think some are post 9/11 coastal patrols and others are manuevrs out of Norfolk. The pelicans may actually be new top secret UAV's <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
