A small nearby yard has 1-87 (blue/gray) and 3-88 (1 red and 2 gray) 4runners. While I don't have one anymore and don't get there often are there any parts that are valuable or desirable or hard to find that I should pull if I go there? I may be able to ship some stuff if anyone here needs anything and they have it. Motors are usually gone right away. They pull the wheels right away, but they probably store those somewhere. It's Illinois so rust is likely going to be an issue.

Moneymakers are inclinometers, manual hubs, and uncracked dashpads. There's always guys on Yotatech looking for interior bits in good condition.

Kid is right, and count me in for a uncracked dashpad and manual hubs (Only if aisin), if they are present.

Grab the center console lids if they are there too, I just paid $60 for one on ebay.
 
id be interested in a set of 4 set belts if they still reel in well prefered if they are all the same color and not red.
 
If they have one with a burgundy red interior, I'd be interested in a few pieces:

- Rear view mirror
- Rear wiper motor cover (interior)
- Dash pad (not cracked)
- Triangular dust covers at the top of the seat belts (driver and pax)

Only if their in good condition though. My rear view mirror and that damn rear wiper motor cover are dryer and more cracked than Betty Whites vag.

Is there a website that sells OEM bits for the interior (like trim pieces)?
 
I'd like to get my hands on (for my grey interior):
- a few window crank handles
- a pair of stock mirrors
- the plastic with the temperature scale on it behind the HVAC levers
- decent boots for around the gear shift levers
- the plastic covers installed after the topper is put on that covers the bolts, etc

Thx,
Jon
 
All four had gray interior, two pretty much gutted. No manual hubs on the ones that ones that were equipped with them, no gauges, shift boots, except the rubber ones underneath, no useable console lids.

I'll probably go back out in the next few weeks. There are seat belts in various condition, antenna, chrome mirrors, at least one black mirror, various trim pieces, one rear wiper blade lots of black worn off, rear wiper motors, door handles, not in the best shape, misc stuff.

I posted the parts I have in the classified section.
 
iBison was great to deal with. So glad he shared the parts he found. Sold me some at a fair price and did a great job of packaging and shipping.

Thanks!
