Thunderstorms kiboshed yesterday's beach visit, we'll try again today.
Just finished some double time and now I'm headed to the cabin. There is likely to be some beers and cigars. If you see tomorrow me could you ask me if it was worth it? Mkay thanks.

Change the timing belt. I don't care what the previous owner said. That's about the only thing that can kill those. After that it can likely drive on water.
Planning on it soon. It's not going to be a daily driver for a couple more months anyway. Other than that timing belt and the frame these are pretty awesome.

What year model? Looks similar to my grandson's 2012 rav.
The 4.7 uses a timing belt, the 4.0 may have a timing chain.
Good morning!
It's a 2003 and yes it has the timing belt. The frame is in good enough shape I can permanently stop the little bit of rust it had. And with a few things added it will pull 7 thousand if I need it to. It's full time 4wd.

Good morning guys & girls,
today I'm going to be a bit of a chainsaw mechanic, I have a couple of saws I'm going to troubleshoot and fix for others.
Common sense with an ulterior motive
Experiment on others first. I had less "STUFF" todo when I tried to help my brothers STuff first.
My stuff didn't reflect my mess-ups as bad. 😜
And G' MAWNIN' to you as well.

I work without a system, most of the time is always spent finding tools, just as annoying every time.

Right now I'm on a hunt for an ohm meter, flywheel puller and 242 v&p blenders. I know I have them but finding the bastards is never easy.

One day when I get a new roof on the barn project that is divided into three projects, I'm going to build myself a small workshop in one part.
