www.car-part.com

That website is a massive help.

Here's how much I paid.

 

@mechanicjon is helping me find parts locally since he knows a guy. Hoping I have big savings

 

Oh his friend is good, but incredibly expensive.

 

Good to know, I'll price match and decide which one I wanna go through for each part

 

His buddy sure is proud of his parts.

Seriously, www.car-part.com is the best resource I can give you. I called almost every Toyota junkyard in California and they all wanted $500-600 for a bare A340F with no transfer case.

Meanwhile, I call a yard in Reno, Nevada who was only asking $450 for a complete A340F and transfer case with only 151k miles.

Call around, see what deals you can get,

 

How bad is your insurance now?

 

Mmmmm, 2JZ-GTE Twin Turbo, or 1GZ-FE v12? Dreaming of ridiculous engine swaps again.

 

I thought he was cheap, but I'm a local too so maybe that makes a difference. He lives like 2mi from me now haha

 

Could be the part too. I remember asking Jon about some parts, and he told me he was asking too much. I did buy a driveshaft off him, which ended up being the wrong one. I wish Toyota labelled their goddamn driveshafts.

I ended up getting it shortened at an industrial driveline shop. Way easier and less hassle.

 

Eh not horrible, but being 22 with 4wd is definitely more pricey

 

Try having two 4wd and a sports car lol

 

Probably for the cruiser and the Z if I wanted. Won't bother cause the z is only 50 a month though

 

Made an appointment at a tranny shop to have this stupid driveline noise checked out. I'm tired of crawling under and not knowing what to do. Time to hand this one over to the pros.

 

Cruiser, its 25 so it is a classic now

 

Hey now! Depends on the part.

 

He reimbursed for that drive shaft.

 

I feel like I’ve dealt with this friend

 

Of course. I wasn’t downplaying your buddy at all.
