For those of us in Sacramento, these yards are the mecca for all things 4Runner. There's about 10 yards on one street that sell 4Runner parts. Some are a little pricey though.

**Off-Topic Stupid Story Time**

Some of them (well at least one of them) are idiots though. I saw some parts i needed on eBay and figured out they were close enough to swing by and pick them up in person.

So I went in there and told them I saw the stuff on eBay and I would like to pay in person and skip all the eBay BS. I offered about $5 less on two different parts that still totaled $75 (after my $10 off). I told them that they wouldn't have any Ebay fees, PayPal fees, shipping cost (they offered free shipping and these were trim pieces so not small) and no employee time spent boxing up items for shipment.

They refused.

So I ordered them from my phone in their parking lot. They lost money and they payed shipping twice plus got a ding on their eBay rating because the idiots shipped it to the wrong address (they used an old shipping box but didn't take the old label off and the post office sent it to that before they noticed they scanned the wrong label). My stuff was late by about 4 days.

Had great experiences with others in the sac area though.
 
Parts in Rancho Cardova is way too expensive!. I went once and never again!

Send them an email and find out what they want.

Haha, yeah that sound about right. Once place I went to said online they have a few 4Runners. I walked in and it's a dark room with a BED (yes, a bed) behind the "parts counter". I asked for a few parts and he just kept saying "no we don't have that part" and acted like I was inconveniencing him by trying to give him business...

Best one by far is the first one as you make a right on Recycle Road. I can't remember the name...
