Parts compatability
I am wondering if there is any information on different years compatability. I've got an 87 4x4 and the local junkyard has a trashed 90 4x4. They aren't very helpful in the matter and was hoping someone here had the knowledge.

It depends on the part (and are you surprised the junkyard isn't "very helpful"?)
Very generally, 8/88 on for pickups and 4runners are the same, but there are plenty of exceptions. For instance, a 1992 alternator fits later, but not earlier, models.
You can look up your exact part at a place like http://www.toyotapartsoverstock.com/, and there is a tab for "fitment." That will give you the interchange data, and it's as accurate as a dealership could do (if you could find a dealership that would spend the time).

Parts compatibility is going to depend on many different things such as model year, engine, trim/option level and such.
The frame for a 3VZE is 'different' than the 22RE's frame, for instance. Body panels from an 89 pickup will most likely not fit well on an 89 4Runner, or vice-versa. There were many different transmissions used over the years, and nearly as many different transfer cases as well. Different gear-sets were available, though many will interchange, but again it depends on the 'options' the vehicle was purchased with.
Better to ask about a specific part than issue a blanket query about "all" parts.

Thank you guys! The website is what I was hoping for.
And no, I'm not surprised about the junkyard at all. Only downside is there aren't many yota's to pick from in the area.
