Good Toyota/foreign junkyards in NJ?

I'm trying to find a source for either T-100 or mid '90s 4 Runner calipers to swap onto my '91 pickup. Does anyone know of some good Toyota/import junkyards in NJ I can try? A tech at Lawrence Toyota recommended Michaelson's in South River but they've got nothing right now. I'd prefer a good pick and pull to wander around on a Saturday, but anyplace that has a lot of Toyotas would do.

Would you really want to put yard Calipers on your truck.

I have got yard calipers to use as cores to get rebuilt ones.

I know things are low buck.

We have a yard over here called Future Cars but it is hit or miss as to when they are open.

I hear you can get great deals if he needs cash

Search craigslist for trucks that are selling for parts ONLY.

I would stay away from used calipers, especially since remans are only about $40 each.

I left out the part about needing cores. Since I want to put T100 brakes on my truck obviously I won't have cores to turn in to the parts store-I was looking at NAPA prices and the calipers were $140 + $80 core charge. Since then I started looking at calipers from Rock Auto. Not only are they cheaper (loaded Raybestos caliper is $85)-the core charge is only $10, so I can get both remanned calipers shipped for just over $200. If you guys have a cheaper source let me know but that's the best I've found so far.

I won`t say which Napa but I get core credit when upgrading the calipers.

Sounds like a good deal from Rock auto may chance I should get a few sets those times when I have nothing else to do on a early Sunday Morning
