yeah... it does.. if your in the Park City area before i find a trailer(which at the rate it's going isn't gonna happen)... look for my 4runner all lonely in a parking lot just off the freeway... then torch it to the ground... the insurance will write me a check, and we'll all walk away with a smile on our face...

todays your lucky day, i just happen to have a 7mge supra motor in my garage. complete with everything you need to put it in your yota. and to top it off, i just sold my house and dont want to move it if possible so i will take a pretty healthy loss on it to get rid of it. im in it about $1400 with the tranny and t-case but will let it go for $900.

...maybe someone'll just take it... then i can buy the Baja i've always dreamed of...:brett:
All that pavement pounding made it break

Jacey:"you wanna drive, or me?"
Me:"well, i just filled up, it's a beautiful day to drive with the top off."
Jacey:"ok"
as we start up Parley's Canyon.....
Me:"hhmm, i'm not sure i've ever driven this[4Runner] to Park City"
..... 10 minutes later
Me:"Damn it... this stereo sucks.... it's all the way up, and i can still hear whatever that godforsaken sound is....."
i wanna say rod knock, but maybe.... just maybe the flywheel exploded?

No one's that lucky. You know that.
heheh. What? Last time I talked sh*t, I got handed 3 valves and a $1400 bill. I feel your pain.

"knock on wood"
When Saint Helen, mother of Emperor Constantine the Great, visiting the Holy Land and seeking the True Cross upon which ***** was crucified, found the Precious and Life-Giving Cross, the Cross was venerated by all the faithful in many public processions. Many faithful would come to touch the Holy Cross for blesssing and healing. It was customary to touch the Wood of Life three times (as a confession of faith in the Holy Trinity). This act of touching the True Cross became the earliest recorded histories of "knocking on wood." This history, alas, has nothing to do with the Rosary since the Rosary is a much later innovation. Whenever the Holy Cross was put forth for public veneration, touching it, or as English translations render it "knocking," became common liturgical practice. Once the Holy Cross was transferred to Constantinople and placed in the Great Church of the Holy Wisdom (aka Saint Sophia), Christians continued this piety by touching or knocking on any cross or crucifix (wood was the medium of the day) for blessings and healings. This ancient tradition has been with us for over 1,600 years and has been a pious tradition to this day where people tend to touch anything made of wood ... but all interpretations of this behavior point back directly to Jerusalem in the 4th century AD and the True Cross. No doubt, wooden prayer beads may have become a customary item for similar veneration, but historically much later.
