hey y'all,
i'm looking for a 1996-98 4runner grill, and i was thinking a junkyard might be a good place to get one on the cheap. any suggestions on who to call around the bay area? or LA?

 

You've probably already tried the yellow pages but did you try looking for auto disassemblers? Apparently there are nicer names for scrapyards.

I didn't know that until last year when I was looking for a place to test out some eqp from work. My co-workers kept telling me, "don't look for junkyards - look for a disassembler listing or something like that."

Sorry, wish I could be of more help.

 

Thereis a Toyota only recycling yard in either Fresno or Rancho Cordova called TAP. www.taprecycling.com. They've had most things I've wanted (except an '85 solid front end) . Anyway. good luck. Oh yeah. if you search on google for toyota recycling, you'll get good results.

 

I dont know about junk yards..... Went to one and they charged more than a new one online.....

 

thanks for the tips guys. i ended up going with tap recycling and got the grille for $75 shipped. not too bad i guess.

 

TAP?? I guess you haven't read about them over on Pirate. This is one of the more famous threads.

yeah i had heard about their bad reputation, but that was the only place i could find what i wanted. plus the price wasn't too bad. now i just gotta hope they send the right part

 

City of Duarte.

Alpha St. A Entire Street filled with modern import cars. Its on kinda close to where the 210 and the 605 meet.

 

funny you guys should mention tap, i was over there yesterday and they wanted like $300 for seats!

 

tap is garbage, they are way overpriced and big jerks to boot
