They said that the truck was structurally unsafe to drive and would require major frame repair, quoted in the thousands

Sorry to hear that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> Good luck to you <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Well, the taco is gone. Salvage yard that worked with Toyota gave up $2800 for it. G/f ended up going with a '01 camry, 5speed 4cyl. No more 4 wheel drive for her, but the 32.8 miles per gallon that we got driving home with the camry made her feel a little better! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
(Don't worry though, I'll give up my 4Runner once I'm dead, and it doesn't have ANY rust on it) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />


Too close for missiles, I'm switching to guns...

'97 4Runner...SR5, 4cyl (3RZ), 5spd, 4wd, no rust, excellent shape.

I've seen worse classic cars saved but it ain't cheap. I wouldn't have bothered with this case either. Good luck in your search.

No search, we're all done. She already has her camry, and I have my 4Runner. We get things done quickly! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> A few months ago, I had a '94 pickup and she had her Tacoma. Who would have figured?

Roll Me Over
Did u say you got 2800 for it?
Did it have the 3.4 or the 2.7? Because it's worth WAY more than 2800 in parts... i would have paid that if it was a 3.4!

That is what he is saying, it is boxed to the point where the arc starts at the rear tires. From there back it is C channel. take a close look and you will see that.
