What all would you replace from WRECK
Well I came up on another Toyota on the side of the rd in the ditch pretty good figure I stop and pull out an be friendly. Pull out or the lady and drove it the rest way home for her steering felt real lose and steering wheel was facing wrong way so def needs alignment I can't see anything broke up under it besides looks like the wheel toe is off sticking way out. So she told me she was gonna junk it and I couldn't let that happen motor ran great and only 165k on it. So I gave her more then scrap yard would and towed it home. Any ideas what's all the stuff on passenger side it's 89 Toyota 4runner 4wd 5spd 22re? I think it will need steering column maybe. I got the hood, front bumper and grill to fix cosmetics. Any help be great to start off
Here some pics I absolutely love it http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/u...A286F76B69.jpg |
Check the entire right suspension, hopefully nothing is too bent. Otherwise, replace the sheet metal, and wheel!
|
Use a tape measure to measure and compare each sides suspension components. Check for frame square and use common points to measure from. Ive done this alot when i used to work at a body shop. Its not 100% but it'll give ya a decent idea of what may need fixed

The tire and wheels isn't messed up still holds air after I had it remount and bead cleaned. What all is there up there that's close motor is all good radiator didn't bust. The hub still will spin from lock to free so idk what parts to start looking at
|
The motor looks great and runs smooth minus needs a battery

So did the battery get smushed? I doubt it needs a steering column, maybe some steering components. Is the inner fender all smashed up also?
I ran into some lady that pulled out in front of me on the same side, mines a little worse, I just replaced the headlight and put in some hood pins to keep the hood closed and its all good. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...es/yota1-1.jpg |
may need a little help with a come-along and a tree
|
Yeah, measure stuff, and if it's all pretty square, get an alignment, and a headlight. Chicks dig body rash. Gives these trucks a little personality.

Went for alignment today needs idler arm and steering box but that's not to bad
|
my 88 fell out of gear on an incline, smashed through my neighbors privacy fence and hit a big walnut tree. replaced the radiator grill and pulled the rest out with a chain hooked to a tree. back in business!
and i fixed my neighbors fence too |
