What would you guys do? Thanks!!

I'm sorry to hear that happened. Being I have the few tools I'd need and a like for puzzles...were it mine, in otherwise good shape and maintained, and that's all the damages I'd figure out what was damaged and put it back together using junkyard parts wherever feasible. It'd be super-nice if they at least didn't cut any wires.
Cool thing about a self-serve junkyard is being able to take something apart and gaining some insight as to how it goes together, and there's info online to help.

My beloved, handsome, 2001 T4R Limited with around 300K miles has encountered a serious seeming engine issue (got loud, lost a lot of power, 1 valve cover came off) and I haven't been able to spend any time even looking into it. Probably needs an engine swap or at least overhaul. I am realizing I am in the wrong stage of life for a project car, so it is just sitting there unused. I am hoping to rehome my 4Runner buddy.

Anybody around Washington/Oregon looking for a project vehicle? The engine can start (or at least it could a month ago when I tried) but I wouldn't dare drive it. Probably needs to be trailered to your home base. I am near Maple Valley, Washington.
