sorta but not really ha ha. i blew low pressure air through all of the lines and didnt seem to have any clogs, at least not anything that was a noticeable clog. ran all new lines anyway since i had them all off. so far the evap canister is not leaking anymore but i have yet to drive it enough to see if that fixed my crappy mileage problem. either it REALLY fixed my mileage or the float is now bad as well. i have 45 miles into a fresh filled tank and the needle has barely moved down. by now i would be a quarter tank low. thats where i am at as of now. we will see what the next days off and some more internet searches bring.

thanks man.
was hoping you would see that.
scrubbed them with oven cleaner, then primer then gloss black.
they look awesome now.
kinda wanting to mount up the new tires....possibly and probably on my other black rims, or these....not sure, gonna have to think it over.
that bumper is gonna take some heavy duty prep work.....but couldn't beat the price.

they definately look awesome. the kids gonna have one sweet looking runner when its all done. skip the chrome and make everything black. did you ever figure out if you needed any other parts for the runner? i may end up buying that one up the road from my house i told you about, just waiting to hear back from the guy about it.
definitely need a passenger's side fender.....keep your eyes peeled....88 4runner......let me know
#3378
everything on his IS black already.....I just meant chrome lugs and centersand his chrome fender moldings and windshield trim.....otherwise he's all blacked-out.....the previous owner already did the bumpers....we will see if i'm gonna put that smittybilt on it or not.

i have two fenders, take your pick. how far are you from tamaqua? my parents live up that way and i am up there at least 2 times a month, if thats closer i could bring them with me next time and you can check them out. even if you dont put the smittybilt on you can probably make some money off it at the scrap yard, thats a heavy S.O.B. haha
