max power Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Went to 3 different junkyards today searching for an antenna for the wifes 4Runner. Of course didnt find one because no one ever junks them. The yards were overflowing with Cherokees, Exploders and Blazers. They were all labeled C4C, or CARS. Most were in pretty good shape. If you own one, its a smorgasbord out there boys. Go stock up while you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thGix Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Some where i heard that the junkyards cannot sell the drivetrain out of them but can sell body parts and what not. I think i heard that on Neil Bortz radio show a few weeks back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpspeed Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 huh I thought they were going to crush them after they blew the engines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey1 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 huh I thought they were going to crush them after they blew the engines...I heard they had to put a liquid that hardened like concrete into the block to make it inoperable, and after that they had to b crushed and recycled? I think it is good to let me pople pick any useful parts before that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4isvt Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 i wish I worked at a dealer I would just dump the oil and give it hell way more fun. A toyota corolla thats already knocking lasts 1 min 14 sec with no oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I've noticed a huge increase in clunkers being sold by dealers, listed in craigslist.Go figure on that... not supposed to happen, but I think some dealers decided not to turn the paper work in on some of the vehicles. They decided to just sell them used like normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey1 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I am betting that in all of the rush the dealers made several deals that didn't get approved after the fact due to paperwork errors etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 we were at the nationals in indianapolis and they were showing people something they found out when they were trying to blow up the engines in some of those trucks that have a v8.they drained the oil and let them run until they blew up.fords blew up almost immediately but most of the chevy engines ran for almost 20 min without any oil!

v65rider Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I wonder if since a lot of the dealers haven't been paid by the Gov that they decided to make money off of the vehicles any way by selling then to the junk yards?

max power Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 should have let me know before i left work taht you needed toyota parts!! i do get a helluva discount. i even know the part number for what you need lolI get 30% at Germain and they still wanted $75 for the Tacoma base and whip to convert it from the shitty power antenna. Fuck that. Its too bad they didnt let the bad frame Tacos go to the yards. You cant find a late model Toyota in any yard in columbus.you looking for that shitty powered system they came up with max? Also I am need of seats for my 88 let me know if you come across any 4runner buckets or a bench. prefer buckets but would take a bench. I as well am ready for some trail runs if you wanna hook up.There are 2 89-95 Runners at U-Pull-it (Refugee & Alum Creek) and they had buckets. There is a 93 pickup at Wirthmans that had beautiful grey bench seats, and a 96 Runner with shitty leather buckets.As far as off-road, I'll ride with you. My baby is too pretty to beat on, and I had to sell my old Runners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Sweet. The new yard at Refugee and Alum Creek (Just N. of 104) has 2 2nd gen 4Runners. didnt see if they had seats though. There is a 99 at Wirthmans with brown leather buckets, but they looked like 200k leather buckets.Let me know when you are going to be there and I will meet you and help you get them out.

f4isvt Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 How much of the cable do you need I belive its two pieces do you want all the way to the radio.
