Thanks guys. It is good to be back. I am sure that more damage may have occured to the body if the grille guard was not there. It seems as if the guard absorbed a great deal of the impact rather than the body. I am glad I have it and am getting another one as soon as I get it back. Which leads me to this story...
I was already to pick up my 4Runner yesterday. The shop had everything ready and took it outside to let it run alittle. They said that they looked out about 10 mintues later and all that they saw was steam everywhere. Here, the top seal on the brand new Toyota radiator failed and all the coolant leaked out. Now I have to wait some more to get it back. Talk about frustrating. It sucks, because it is nothing that Bob did, it was just a faulty radiator. You know...it never ends! :fireman:
