hella cheap parts.

so a friend broke his tacos grill and we found one on craigs list for 50 bucks. we drove 40 miles to get it. when we got there we found out the guy was the foreman of the local toyota shop. if an insurance company pays to have somthing replaced he can actully take the broken part home. he has like 5 3.0s for 300 that are rebuilt. a 5vz longblock for 500 and he said e lockers are around 150-250. damn i wanna buy all that crap.

For what, using it as a weight in the bed for traction in the snow? I wouldnt go through the trouble to put in a 3vz, Id go straight to the 5vz.

If thats the case, and you guys are good, I'd pay you to install an E-locker in my 91 V6. For a decent price, that is......
