Junkyard diving tomorrow! Wat look for?

[robb1887]

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of getting out to some yards tomorrow to see if I can find a few small things for the truck. I was curious to know if there are some "treasures" to be had that either
A) would be good to get for myself if I can find it
B) if someone cant find something near them and its easily shipped I'll keep an eye out for ya.

I'm going particularly for:
"Junkyard bumpstops" ("http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/134139-junkyard-rear-bump-stops.html")

Thinks I'm going to keep an eye out for:
Obviously any E-locked diffs
13WL calipers
Aftermarket offroad gear
LC suspension

Anyone else got a "gems" list they look for whenever they go? I didnt see a thread of items that would be good to look for, and thought this might be useful.

Requests welcome, input appriciated.

Thanks!

if you're 4x4 then an extra slip yoke (piece that slides out of rear of driveshaft) would be nice. Replace its u-joint and have a good spare!

Intake stuff for a ISR mod

Tacoma inner fender intake tube to use if you ever get a snorkel

extra factory switches

auto-dim rear view mirror

newer style tail lights (I think 00-02?)

Window motors

Starter




if you have a pick-n-pull (u-pull it) you can look up their inventory on the website.

I notice your in VA also. If you can find a tacoma antennae I'd be willing to pay shipping and cost or possibly pick it up. Where are you in VA?

If you find front mud flaps for the black SR5 flares then I would be interested in buying them off of you.

All required components off of a Tacoma to do a manual hub swap.

Well apparently no one in the area crashes a Toyota truck and it lives to tell the tale. None of the local yards had any on their lot. I did find a great set of bump stops (the original goal) and two other good pairs. If you're interested in a set PM me.

Was also able to get a few parts for BMW friend. So a good day, but definitely room for improvement next time.

At least in my area, no 90s and up Toyotas make it into the yards that we have access to. They all get bought at auction by the big name parts yards and sold piece by piece due to their higher value.
