    For what its worth LKQ pick-your-part yards post pics of their inventory on their website, multiple pics too. Updated daily, dunno if there are any near you. Really helps when you need something off a certain trim vehicle, the ones that just list off what they have in the yard never show you the details.

    Just 3 tons of fun!!!

    I imagine the search is going to go a bit like my 4x swap parts... only a LC rear end with float and locker may be a little bit more difficult to find.

    Not sure if we have an LKQ... we do have Pick and Pull but Toyotas are somewhat of a rarity at Pick and Pull.

    Any toyota other than camrys, corollas, and avalons are rare at any junkyard. Most of the SUV's and trucks go to the full service salvage yards that sell online and have a lot of markup.

    Today I snuck some 440cc injectors in. Quick map adjust on the Fic and she fired up like nothing happened. Actually idles better than with the stock injectors. We shall see how long the stock pump can keep up. 20191018_134547.jpg

    I have a couple “parts cvs” for shit like this. I’ve even used parts off my snapped cv too. Waste nothing.

    Yes. Stock injectors were maxed out, afr would start to creep in higher rpms, not that I really use high rpms, but want to keep it safe.
