    I made the owner a promise that I wouldn't give the location (at least not publicly). He's got some other pretty valuable vehicles on the property and doesn't want people showing up hounding him.

    I’d like to contact the yard and ask about a few parts. Could you PM me if you don’t want it public? I also drive a regular cab Tacoma

    Well what's the point of a wrecking yard if you don't know the location

    Cool find. Closest thing to a 2nd gen Taco in a pick n pull near me that Ive seen was a 4th gen 4Runner. Still lots of interior trim in good shape in there.

    Most of the wrecked newer trucks near me get sent to the auto salvage yards that sell online, or pull stuff for you and ask higher prices for things. Its hard enough to find 1st gen tacos in yards near me, and if there are any, chances are its a 2wd 5 lugger.

    One of the only 4x4 first gens Ive seen in a yard. Yes it was left like that by the yard operators. IMG_20190712_122555814_HDR.jpg

    Pretty rare to see a Taco in a salvage yard, unless wadded up beyond recognition.

    Seeing that white 2010 RC like that made me want to give my own 2010 RC a big hug!

    I see tacos and 4runners in junkyards as money making oportunities. If you know the right stuff to pull, you can flip parts quick and make a good bit of extra money.

    The cab of this truck appeared to be solid, as did the frame. However, I would not want the frame if it were the pre-recall original frame.

    You must be new here. OP is a regular contributor and big-time car fan. I'm all about roasting people but sometimes you just gotta let things slide

    Post whatever you want. You'll always find people who will give you negative feedback. But that's how it goes. You get positive feedback, and you get negative feedback. Some will like it and some will not.

    I always am checking the online listing for my local scrap yard and have never seen a Taco. I have seen a few 4runners. They get picked pretty clean very quickly.
