Spotted this truck about 6 months ago and it finally landed in my driveway. Now the fun begins to see if I can get it running. The truck even comes with free yellow jackets!

Cool, Looks like you got tilt and no AC so that must be the midrange (option B or 2) for the highlander package.

That's a freaken paper wasp!! Them buggers can sting you on the fly!!! Don't ask me how I know. WES

It's getting off subject, but in my neck of the woods what we call "yellow jackets" are actually paper wasps. My highschool mascot was/is the yellow jacket but the animal being referred to is actually a paper wasp. We don't even have TRUE yellowjackets here in South Texas! I guess it's that way in other parts of the world too. I have been trying to educate others around here and especially my old classmates about how dumb we look when we say we are the "Fighting Yellow Jackets" then hold up a picture of the local paper wasp.

Wasp or yellow jackets----they're all gone now. Tried to turn engine by hand(balancer bolt) with no luck. Pulled a plug and they're BOSCH.
In the garbage they go, bosch and points ignition means trouble! Hopefully it'll turn over after I pull the plugs.

does this count as "water foul"?

Uhh oh, That cylinder could have a rusty bore, rings and valves too

Are those ford aerostar hubcaps? Yuck, please destroy them ASAP!!!

Critter · 01-16-2011, 12:22 AM

They aren't the Highlander wheel covers that's for sure.

The highlander ones aren't my style either but they look better than those! There are some pics of them from discussion on a ebay truck a few days ago. Search "ebay highlander" and it should pop up.
