I would really appreciate the help guys. I would like someone (or more than one person) to do a basic once over. Check the usual stuff: Engine, trans, 4WD, leaks, CV boots, and most importantly body damage and paint problems. I need to know if this looks like a 17K mile vehicle.

One other request would be for someone to check the glass for a Toyota symbol. Each piece of glass - if original - will have the Toyota logo, and some other writing on it. That can tell me a lot.

Please call my cell if you get a chance, and I will give you all their information. 602-614-7866

Thanks a bunch! -Christian

Well I would be fine with checking the 4WD, leaks, CV boots, body damage and paint problems. As far as the engine and transmission I am no mechanic but I could make basic observations of course. I do know two factory trained Toyota mechanics in OKC that may be willing to check it out for you. I am probably not going to have time tomorrow but I could do it thursday. I guess they will let me drive it huh?

That would be really great if you could get the Toyota techs to take a peak. I will pay for their services accordingly.

I can arrange via the seller for a time they could look at it.

Again, I will be more than happy to shell out some cash to a thorough once over.

Give me a call, or PM me your #.

Thanks again!

I knew that there would be a crack about the goat thing after I posted.

I went to one of the trail chasers get togethers at crossroads mall last spring. I just kinda walked around and looked though.

and about the 4runner if these guys cant help you by next week i would be more than happy to but i am no mechanic either.

I've been to a couple meets, they are great. Actually the best part is in the parking lot after the meeting. Great group of guys and gals. Sometime I want to go on a trail ride with them. They are very experienced. The president of the club (Shane) is a Toyota mechanic.

My wife isn going to OU Law in Norman and could check it out for you. I would but I won't be back in Oklahoma for 2 more years. Germany Sux... And I don't have goat in my name!

If not my wifes best friends Dad wads the service manger and co owner of Fowler Toyota in Norman and still has the hook up, so I may be able to get a tech from there to look at it.
