    I just looked at the pics first, and didn't read....and my heart just sunk into my stomach. I have to poop now.

    Yesterday I was in the shop and pulled some of the front end apart.
    I am trying to get the front diff and power steering rack, axles and spindles out so I can transfer it over to my Tacoma.
    Tripped the head of a bolt off of one that hold the power steering rack in place and none of my extractors were able to grab onto it.

    Today I focused on getting my truck in the shop and getting some of these valuable parts on it. Parts that went in:
    - Clock and Housing
    - Factory Radio/CD/Cassette Player
    - 4 Speakers
    - Heater Controls
    - Radio/Heater Bezel and Vents
    - Ashtray
    - Battery Tie Down
    - Fuel Filler Shroud and Cap
    - Fuel Door
    - Drivers Door Arm Rest

    I like that you took those apart to clean them. I usually take the lazy route and put them in the top rack of the dishwasher (people don't know you can do this with lots of stuff) and make sure the heated dry is off.

    Any chance you'd sell that center console from the wrecked Taco? I've been searching for one for a while.

    I am planning on swapping the front diff & axles from the parts truck. There was no play in the axle and no leaking from either seal.
    Previous owner said there were no vibrations in the truck at all.
    Hopefully that is still the case after the crash. Regardless everything looks to be in good condition.

    Here are some pics of the piles of things I pulled off the truck. Some I'll use, some I'll sell & some will go to be recycling.
