My phone redirects me to some browser shit. What am I doing wrong. Done need a bigger hammer?

If you've got Tapatalk installed t4r.org is having issues with Tapatalk now. I barely go on there. Can always hit him up on 4runners.com but doesn't look like he logs on there too often..

Is the bolt important?

NO>ratchet till you feel good about it.

YES> Impact that shit.

I've been using that guideline for years and it is easy to remember and works perfect. lol

That’s great until my strong man muscles start to break screws.

Well that doesn't work for me. I buddy of mine always says. "If you never need to remove it let Duke tighten it"
I wrenched on bikes first and man did I strip the hell out of bolts. I got torque wrenches and salved that problem. Also when working on airplanes everything has to be to spec. (former job)

Well lets start the countdown till I have to do a head gasket on the 4 runner:lalala:. Driving home from work i noticed that the temps started to climb when i would come to a stop. Luckily I only have to make four stop before I get on the highway. On the highway the temps where normal all the way home. I pulled in the garage and shut her down. I let her cool down as I made some executive decisions in the thrown room. Beating my head against the wall yelling poetry at a steady flowing pace. After my legs stopped being numb I proceeded out to remove the radiator cap. Mind you the overflow was full so I was feeling good about the cap removal. Well that turned to shit in a minute. The radiator was low and it took 3/4 of a gallon to fill it up. No leaks from the water pump,hoses,thermostat,heater core, no leaks at all. Oil is not milky and neither is the tranny fluid. That leaves one mother fucking fuck Toyota for designing a fucking piece of shit head gasket. Sorry, lost it there for a sec:mad:. Leaking head gasket burning up coolant during combustion.:headwall::headwall::headwall::headwall::headwall::headwall: I will be checking my coolant level and filling it like if i was driving a Henry Ford Model T until the dreaded #6 cylinder misfire code pops up. OHH yeah FUCK YOU TOYOTA! YOU SQUINTY EYED NON HEAD GASKET DESIGNING FUCKS!

Is this a problem on the 4.7 V8s as well? I also have an '04.

Best of luck with your slow self destruction
