Local Junkyards??

Benjitis · Mar 20, 2009

Anyone know where a junkyard may be that has toyota pickups? Im looking for solid axle parts (brakes/hubs/etc) to swap onto my cruiser. Anywhere in shelton/tacoma/port orchard/gig harbor area??

I just posted a CL ad from blacklake auto wrecking over in the "CL finds" they had a shitload of Toy stuff.

Most junkyards don't part out axles. I have seen Toyota front axles at every place around here, and they all say no.

OK, so I didn't look at to close. Next time I won't bother.

You could try pick-a-part by the Oly airport, they're cheap but the Toyota stuff is usually slim.

You could also try PM'ing Megatoy66.

Try Mark M is has a lot of toy Stuff!:awesomework:

Benjitis · Mar 20, 2009

So, $325 is spendy for a complete front end? Ive found a bunch of complete front axles on CL, each one is $350, most have 4.10s. I only need from the knuckles out, but i may have to purchase the whole axle. Thanks for the info!

thats for rear carriers, not front ones.

Find a nice complete 1985 front axle ($300 average), use the outers, and sell the rest to make some money back.

Mark M is a great source for the north end, or pm fullywrecked on here, he is in Puyallup and has some toy stuff too. Either guys are pretty cool and fullywrecked will probably give ya a couple tugs or a handy if you pay his asking price.:awesomework::masturbanana[1]::cheer:

Haha...yeah man...call Odie.:beer:

wheelinjp · Mar 21, 2009

Benjitis · Mar 21, 2009

Found one for $300. Takin a look tomorrow. If that doesnt work out, whats odies number?

get them off a fj60..........i bought a complete fj60 front for 150!........plus you'll have the vented rotors already and the twin piston calipers!.........don't forget your propotioning valve:awesomework:

tmckenziem · Mar 21, 2009

And the 3rd in a fj60 fits the 40 so you'll have a spare:awesomework:

Darby1 · Mar 21, 2009

knuckles, rotors, calipers, spindle, hubs.......... might be a lot easier just buying a complete axle and then selling off what you don't need when your done

Benjitis · Mar 22, 2009

I picked up a complete axle yesterday for $300. Thanks for the help. Now the next project begins
