It should have a lot of salvage value since it runs good and drives, you could probably sell it on ebay for quite a bit.

Good luck
haha it was actually sasquatch but i didnt think they would buy it!
What do you think i could get for it? It runs/shifts/4WD perfect. 128,000 on the motor.

Go to this site and look for other wrecks with the same year/model, then watch for the highest bid at the close of auction. That will give you an idea of the valve. http://www.ridesafely.com/

Yeah theres a 1998 that looks similar to mine for 3500.

Im thinkin about ~3000 is what i should look for?

i had an offer for 3500 from a friend, but he changed his mind when he found out he couldnt swap the motor/tranny into his 89PU without major modification.

I learned after my deer encounter....to HIT THE DEER. Never try to avoid the deer...high center of gravity makes 4Runners easy to roll...I work for an insurance company and see it happen all the time. I went to miss a deer and smacked up my truck...almost 10G's damage. Plus...I had to pay my deductible cause I never actually "hit" the animal....my deductible would of been waived and nothing gone on my license.

Yeah, the last deer in front of me I hit the brakes and right before impact he jumped out of the way. Funny thing, I was on my way home from an unsuccessful deer hunt. That was the closest I was to a deer all day.

haha, dude, thats badass.

a buddy and I rolled my 90 Pickup one time (not the one in my sig haha), did a three quarters barrel roll, and it laid on its side for at least a half hour.

We got six guys and rolled it back over on its wheels. My stepdad didn't even wait for the oil to drain back down. He jambed a screw driver in the ignition switch (key broke off inside it during our escape), and it fired right off. He drove it 3 miles, and the alignment was fine, engine, everything. Just the cab was all smashed in.

I wish my mom wouldn't have made me sell it for scrap... I got 175 bucks for it...
