And Mark, yeah I know that top nut/rear shocks are a pain to work on. If I didn't have my body lift, I don't know how I would have replaced the shocks on my own a few years ago.

Sorry it won't work out Mark.
I'll ask about the auction, and beyond that I'll ask if the truck will be there for a while longer past tomorrow. If it's possible for me to authorize you to go over...
Any part, as long as it's in good condition and can be replaced, is available.
But one little catch is this place closes at 4:30. There may bit of flex there if we're in the middle of something,...
I know, their hours suck. They're only open weekdays and close at 4:30.
Just replied to a expatoz's PM about this. I'm not 100% my PMs are sending out...
Still on for tomorrow at 2:30pm in North Hollywood
Update!
Just got an email, the 4Runner is off hold now. I've got until the end of next week to take care of parts swapping.
So I'm shooting for Friday afternoon, March 7. Say...2:30pm. It's at a...
Okay, I'm think I'm ready to move forward with some parts trading.
My 4Runner is in a yard in North Hollywood. That's where this would have to take place, and to make things convenient, they're...
When I stopped at that auto shop shortly before the fire, they actually pulled two codes. I forgot the second one but just called and asked the guy if he remembered it. It was a P0300...random...
Yeah, the hood wasn't opened. That's possible. I didn't notice or smell anything at least.
This isn't exact, but a rough timeline:
12:30pm: leave my place
12:40pm: check engine light comes on
1:10pm: stop at Midas auto repair to diagnose check engine line. Park in a space, walk in ask...
Okay, talked to the insurance company today. Nothing is finalized, but it looks like if I'm going to remove a part from the vehicle to sell, it'll then have to be replaced with a stock part.
So...
And yeah this was in the garage. Thankfully it's no worse than some smoke damage in there. That's still a pain, but at least homeowners insurance is there to help.
I definitely had some aftermarket wiring in there -- winch, bumper lights, underbody lights, CB, and the AndyMod -- but those were all on the driver side. Oh the ARB air locker compressor was on the...
I wish I could offer some prize for the correct answer.
Also, the hood release warped so that the hood wouldn't open as usual from the front. The hinges were clipped and I held the hood up from...
Here's what happened:
I left my place for my parents house, about a 45-minute drive. On the way, the Check Engine light came on. Okay, annoying, but things seemed to be running a-okay. Still, I...
Also, I'd like to add I like the new lighter color scheme for this site (ahem, something I suggested in 2007 :) )
No more "Logo Master" title under my name, but aye, so it goes.
Okay, the insurance person is checking it out on Wednesday and I have to make sure I *can* sell these parts and still get the value of the vehicle from my insurance company. So there's a little bit...
My heart wants another 4Runner (5th gen), but head wants a Prius. I'm compromising with a Subaru XV Hybrid. They're pretty nice.
Down the line I'd like to get another 4Runner.
Yep, been back since grad school in 2011 and now the working life in Santa Monica.
Indeed, that's now how it was supposed to end!
Good question on which...um...old? Round, no kick-outs if that's what you're wondering. Angled slightly up. Welded.
Light gray interior.
All-weather rubber floor mats. The driver one is pretty worn, but the others are in good shape.
The rear spoiler? (this one...
The winch actually looks okay...aside form the wires to the battery obviously. The Lightforce lights are goners.
I actually have to figure out how this works with insurance and all, I don't know...
Hi UltimateYota, it's calrockx. And it's been a while.
Well, I've never parted out a vehicle before and I'm really not eager about spending much time on this. But I figured I've give this a quick...
I haven't posted on here in a long time (years?), but I like that this thread is still at the top of the Off-Topic section. Oh, last song played....NOFX: Straight Edge.
I'm in a new program that's only a few years old, Annenberg Program on Online Communities.
it's a lot of new media, internet marketing, and online communities/social media.
i'm digging it.
