Has anybody else gone to the Yota Yard?
I went to denver today and decided to go hit up a couple of junkyards, with Yota Yard a last resort. Many yards didnt have just the right part;

Automatic with 4.10 diff gear as opposed to 5 speed 4.556 diff.
or it had it had long been picked clean

There was this place (dont quite remember what it was called) across from the junkyard 'Colorado' just off Oxford (some of you may know which one) well anyways the guy there claimed that he had a 94 4runner and was willing to sell the third member to me for $250, I asked if it was a AT or 5-Sp he said it was At but that all gearing was the same and that any other sizes were none existant. Not to mention that he was a complete asshole.
So I decided screw that and go the the YY.

Let me tell you that the pics on the website dont do the place justice. I loved it there, almost any possible toyota 4x4 part you could ever dream of. I near soiled myself in pleasure (lol)
ANyways they wanted around $450 for the diff plus $100 core charge plus $30(something) for taxes. I mentioned to the owner that I had called previously and I was told $350 for the diff and that all the money I had (in the world) was $430 so he agreed to take that much and he said that when I return the 'core" I would get $80 back.

So overall I think that the Yota Yard is the best possible place to go for your yota needs. I think that it may have been a bit expensive, but I think that it was worth the service and I was given honest answers to my questions (unlike the other junkyard)
They didnt try to play me for a fool and worked with my budget .

I dont mean to sound like an advertisement for the Yota Yard, but I it was a great place to go fishing for parts and I will most likely return there. I would just like to recommend the YY to all the Yotatech members.



Thanks for reading my ranting and raving.

Thats great to a hear first hand account about how good they were. I contacted them about getting a new tail light but they wanted $35 bucks for it and shipping. I found a new one on Ebay for $26 total, but if I need something harder to find like a third member or body pannel I will go with the yota yard. It sounds like you pay a little more, but you get exactly what you need.

Yep, we have mentioned them in several posts here.
Look on their link page too, as they have a link back to us here.

They have a solid rep with the member's here.

Got a quick question. Do you ask them for the part and they find it for you, or do you get to go in and browse yourself?

Bolverk

Yes!


they have all the parts separated already, you jus give em the year, and some specific info i.e. 5 speed or Auto etc. and they give you exactly what u need.

Where are they located? Are they near the other yards off Hampden & Santa Fe? Sounds like a great place.

uhh... I live in eagle so its a long way for me to go, but once I got to denver, first we went to other junkyards along federal and oxford as mentioned previously. but from federal we went on colfax going east I believe and shortly after we took the exit to 25(I belive) but instead of going on we took the Auraria on 33 (I believe) and followed that until we came to market st, and just went straight until it turned into walnut kept on following it till I saw the sign of the Yota yard to the right.

or if u find my directions confusing jus pop the address into yahoo map and find the way to get there from 'yo house!'
