A buddy of mine rolled his '85 4runner SR5 a week ago and it's pretty bad, no full coverage either. Roof is smashed in and the driver side is all messed up. It was rollin on 33's and had a 5" suspension lift + 3" body lift. Anyway, he's in college and didn't have anything to do with it so he gave it to me. Just wondering how well you guys think I'd do if I parted it out. I could cut the roof off and make a pretty sweet toy out of it to beat on but I really don't want to do that. I know I probably wouldn't have much of a problem selling the straight axle, how about the other stuff on it?

 

hey im in portland (well right by portland) too, mabe if you part it out ill take the front axle?
Thanks

 

Right on man. Even if you don't take it, I just bought a '96 Tacoma Xcab 4x4 V6. We should meet up sometime and BS about our trucks.

 

if you send me some pics i may buy the whole truck if its resonable, looking for a new trail toy cause mines shot, let me know here or pm me.
thanks
wade

 

Ok, let me see how bad it is once I get it and then I'll take pics.

 

thats fine, and if its not horrible would you be willing to meet me 1/2 way between here (tri-cities) and you? if so i may just take it.
later
wade

 

if wade doesnt want it dont forget about me! I might be able to take the whole thing if he doesnt want it. btw, how much are you looking to get?
Thanks

 

I'm not exactly sure how much I want for everything yet, I need to see it and assess the damage. I may be able to get more for it parting it out than if I sold the whole thing together.

 

hey if the reaer window regulator is good and you ain't gonna need it I sure could use one. let me know.

 

I know for a fact that it's good

 

well as long as the front axle isnt screwed up from the wreck, and its not to expensive ill probably take it.
Thanks

 

i'd keep it, cop off the top, and turn it in to a weekend warrior!

or give it to me

 

NO! ME! (i'm closer!)hehe

 

Well I got the 4runner. Went and picked it up yesterday from Long Beach. One of the rims was bent and the tire popped off the bead but we were able to beat the wheel back and get the tire to hold air. We also got it running, so I drove it up onto the trailer for the ride home. Although the roof is caved in and the body's beat up it's not half as bad as I thought it would be. Runs just like it did before the accident and still drives fine. I still think I'm going to part it out though because I think I can get more for it by selling the parts than if I just sold it outright. I'll be parting it out next Saturday unless someone makes me an offer I wanna take. I'm gonna strip it and crush the body with a forklift, then to the scrap bin it goes.

 

If it is an SR-5 model, I would really be interested in buying the rear seats, as well as a lot of the interior parts (door panels, gauge cluster, rear sidel panels, etc...)
PM ME!

 

BUMPITY BUMP BUMP

 

It is in fact an SR5. Not sure how many panels are salvagable but I know the rear seat is fine. The drivers side door got all banged up but I think the door panel may be ok. The rear plastic ones may have cracked but I'll definately check them out for ya.

 

Thanks a bunch man, if anything, the rear seats I would deffintatly buy from ya! What color are they? I see that you are also in Portland, to save me a huge amout of money on shipping, I could come pick them up Just PM me bro!

 

Hey man, I don't think it's an SR5, I'm sorry.

I did take some pics...
