Blue Thunder is wounded, need help in denver area.

So alot has happened to my 4runner "Blue Thunder" yes I'm lame and name my cars. I need to fix tie rods and wheel bearings, powers steering, leaking a little, blower motor switch is stuck and can adjust airspeed, a/c needs recharging (I think), she was broken into 3 weeks ago and needs a cd player AND a new passenger side front window (also considering an alarm system as well as dark window tint) and need a new park brake cable. money is tight, i had considered just selling her outright but just don't think i can let her go. so if anyone knows of cheap places in denver area or is parting out there 90-95 4runner please let me know.

Northern Colorado Autoparts - we are parting out a 91 right now, I think we have all the parts you're looking for (prices are usually 1/2 of Jim's)

Man, that's just bad luck. What part of town do you live in? I'm staying away from there.

I name my cars too, when you have more than one 4Runer it just seems easier that way.

As far as I know, all of Denver is the "bad" part. There's nothing good about it.

Troy and I never had issues with theft in Northern Colorado (Longmont-ish) But I've heard that Denver - esp Aurora is really bad.

That just sucks!

I have heard Aurora is pretty bad. It used to be a weekly occurrence of someone getting stabbed at the mall there.

northern colorado definitely isnt bad. even fort collins is surprisingly good. but denver/aurora are terrible. of course, i lived in the downtown area. that probably didn't help.
