Sure, Sacramento is definitely an option. Can you post names (or websites if they have one) of the places?

Thanks,

Tom

TAP has a REALLY REALLY REALLY bad reputation for customer service. I've never had to use TAP, but based on a thread on POR, I will never use them. There are a lot of other people who have said the same thing.

Try http://toyotatruckparts.net/ . The guys on POR really seem to like them. Very good service.

Steve

PS. I'll try to get that POR thread after work.

Thanks for the heads up "Robinhood 150". I didn't know they have bad customer service :pat:

I live only 5 miles from it, that's why I mentioned it

Thanks guys for the info. I did call TAP yesterday, they guy told me that they usually only let people in to the yard with an employee, and they pull all the parts.

To answer AZTOY, I was really only looking for an airbox, so I can try the deckplate modification - if I screwed it up for some reason or didn't like it, I could always put an original back in. But then again, you never know what little treasure you'll find in a u pull it place, I always come prepared to take home more parts than I expected!

Thanks -

Tom

AZTOY, have you been able to find a decent junk yard in Tucson which will carry 4Runner parts?
