Thanks,

If you are willing to travel another 2 hrs., there are places here in Sacramento

Sure, Sacramento is definitely an option. Can you post names (or websites if they have one) of the places?

Thanks,

Tom,
Here is a 'pick and pull' place in Sacramento called Tap Recycling

By the way, welcome to the forum

TAP has a REALLY REALLY REALLY bad reputation for customer service. I've never had to use TAP, but based on a thread on POR, I will never use them. There are a lot of other people who have said the same thing.

Try http://toyotatruckparts.net/ . The guys on POR really seem to like them. Very good service.

PS. I'll try to get that POR thread after work.

mertztr What are you looking for?:confused:

Thanks for the heads up "Robinhood 150". I didn't know they have bad customer service :pat:

I live only 5 miles from it, that's why I mentioned it

Every toyota owner should read this:

the pirate offroad thread on TAP recycling.

Thanks guys for the info. I did call TAP yesterday, they guy told me that they usually only let people in to the yard with an employee, and they pull all the parts.

To answer AZTOY, I was really only looking for an airbox, so I can try the deckplate modification - if I screwed it up for some reason or didn't like it, I could always put an original back in. But then again, you never know what little treasure you'll find in a u pull it place, I always come prepared to take home more parts than I expected!

Thanks -

Tom

Wow, talk about ressurecting an old thread. I think that was my very first post!

Bruce, thanks for the tips on the pick'n pull places. I'll be down that way on Sat., maybe I'll swing in to see what goodies might be lying around!
