Who's in Austin, ya'll?

Can y'all tell me some of the local U-Pick-It salvage yards, especially ones that have multiple 4Runners in stock?

I'm new to the older vehicle, sourcing parts from a yard, kind of game.
 
Just picked up an extra terrestrial 06 limited 4Runner in Roswell and drove it back last night!!

ill likely be taking out the XREAS suspension and replacing with total chaos UCAs and icon lift kit in the near future. If anyone has room and tools to help me wrench on it when i get the parts let me know!!

I have room and tools in Leander. How much did you pay and how many miles ? I picked my 4th gen up in Houston about a month ago.

Awesome!! Picked it for 19k with 62k miles. Took me 4 months to find a clean low milage 4th gen within a reasonable distance to atx. Im so glad i waited, this truck is exactly what i wanted

That's sweet! I paid $15,500 for mine with 112K. Then another $1600 for the warranty. Which is looking like a good investment as I already had the transmission replaced and now the alternator is going out. But at this price I could have almost bought one with half the miles!

PM me when your ready to install your lift!

Yea, im stoked! Youre making me wish i had bought a powertrain warranty though the service records were immaculate.

Ill def give you a buzz later this summer! In the meantime let me know if you go out to any beginner friendly trails.

Any recommendations on where to get a timing belt job and possibly cam/crank seals on a 4.7 VVT-i 4runner? Preferably in the North Austin/Cedar Park area, but willing to go further if the price and recommendations are right. Thanks for any help!

Go to 5 star auto. Its on Lamar and braker. Ask for Long and tell him Mike Bui sent you. He works on my 06 4runner sport edition v8. He also worked on my 06 M5 and most recently my 94 fjz80 landcruiser that I picked up cheap.

He does an amazing job and backs it up with warranty. Also a really great price too. :)
 
I'm very new to TX and after searching locally, I found and have used them twice... Don Rucker Wheel & Tire. After putting in my lift, I called them for an alignment because they install lifts so I figured they can align one too. They got me in the same day. I went back for the new Toyo tires, left it overnight and picked it up the next night. They are, I believe, a full service shop located out on 620 past the dam.

This is where "Bagheera" stands today:

Been out there once and it was cool. However, I like to explore places where I don't have to pay.

Just moved to Austin from Boulder CO about 18 months ago, as I'm finding out, places like you've mentioned don't really exist down here.... That I've been able to find.

Also hi! New owner of a 2001 SR5 here! :lookout:
