I'll take the motor off your hands if it's a 22re

This 22r is starting to make me angry...

Seriously though, that frame looks fubar'ed. You sas it and you're gonna be crab walkin. I'd say part it out unless you're in good with a frame shop.

Make sure the frame is titties? I guess that's a synonym for good since titties are good?

I've heard a lot of slang but that one lost me...

Oh, and I vote for parting it out and taking the money to get a new vehicle.

right now all im doing is ripping the off thats trashed. if it comes down to it, i'll at least double my money by scrapping it/ parting it out. before i drop any money into it, it's going on the frame rack.

someone cut the guy off on the highway, and instead of hitting them, he clipped a wall. his loss, my gain.

here's a link to my photobucket, with more pics of the x:

i had no clue toyota built the cabs like they did, with the inner fenders, cab, and radiator support all as one piece. i figured it would all be seperate, like my truck & blazer are.

X2...that frame is going to require too much work. You can't just pull a buckled frame straight and expect it to be structurally sound. You be better off parting it out and buying one not wrecked.

if you have the time part it out on ebay you could make 600$ or more

if the motor is still running that could pull 150$ to 400$ alone

I agree completely, but you'll have to deal with some deadbeats along the way. Heck, you could probably get $200 just for the bed if it's in any kind of decent shape. Mine had rust and I ended up with $300 for it on ebay. The last 22r I sold went for $300. I think scrap is going for $170 a ton around here by the way. You're only 20 minutes up the road from me so it's probably about the same. Between the two of us we could make a whole truck.

Part it out, then scrap the rest. You'll make a bunch more than $100.

That insanity crossed my mind for about 2 seconds. I'd be all over it if I didn't have a 4runner in need of some TLC. I have a solid axle, couple of transfer cases, and a motor in the garage all waiting to go in. Not to mention all the body work and paint I need to do. No time for 2 projects, besides, my wife would freak if I tried to park another broken truck in the driveway...
