So a few weeks ago I purchased my first 3rd gen 4Runner. It still needs a little bit of work ( http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/191540-1998-leak-rack-line-noise-when-coasting.html ) but overall it runs well and I'm really enjoying it. Anyways, the opportunity came up for me to buy a black 1998 4Runner with only 67,000 miles, but it had been in an accident. I went to take a look at it, and it looked like the parts that I plan on using (shocks, interior, and maybe a few other things) were in good shape and hadn't been damaged. Plus I'd be getting a god running engine and a good transmission, both with low miles. The only issues, apart from the damaged body, is that the lines that run along the rack are bent and leaking, and there is also fluid dripping from the u-joint towards the front of the vehicle. So I was originally planning on just taking the parts I need, selling the engine and trans, and then scrapping the rest, but then I got thinking that what if I just take the body off of my 4runner and put it on the frame of this one, as long as it's not bent of course. And here I sit, two 4Runners and no idea what to do with them. Any suggestions?
