Sold! The $500 4runner Rehab

It takes a lot of looking even on the west coast. I haven't found a great deal since this on last year.

 

@Broke Okie Ty thanks for the air filter box. Fit like a glove!

 

I'm glad you could make use of it!

 

Got a little motivated to work on my radio issues today, Thanks @Kwikvette.
Started with the climate control unit. Opened it up cleaned all the buttons and dials and replaced the bulbs. Works like new. Also noticed a few random wires cut in for some reason. Should have given me a clue what I was going to find behind the radio.



Of course the harness was all hacked up. I expected nothing less.


Spent a little of time cleaning up and identifying what wires go where.


Turns out there is a factory amp behind the dash, but it looks like that was all hacked up also.


I got everything back together and wired to the proper locations. This should be sufficient for a little bit till I get a better radio.

 

ya gotta love that kinda mess...

 

All because someone wanted to save $12 on a oem harness connector.

 

yup. honestly.. when a car comes in with issues an we see that? its not even worth fixing it.. because they go back and do it again

we quote the whole harnesses.

 

Legit work. Good to see another person who can and does recover a vehicle. Especially in today's market. Good on ya.

 

the rescued vehicles make the best vehicles.

 

Hmm... I do have 2 cab harnesses under the house.

 

Damn, at least your mess didn't look as bad as mine!

Good to hear it's better now.

 

The LC was worse

 

Yeah it looked like you have your hands full.hows it coming out?
Honestly nothing on this 4runner has been that bad. Worst part was it was only 36° out.

 

Thanks for the compliment. This is the 1st one I picked up worth saving. I think down the road I may try to salvage another Tacoma to resale.

 

Little do you know, he's parted out more than he's saved

 

So true! But think about how many other people's trucks I have helped save.
@Aptaco272 you can see them here. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-green-truck-5lug-to-6lug-conversion.660999/

 

Can’t save my 95 with some corner lights though

 

The one time I don't have a part you need.....

 

For shame! I may have to buy new!


Lol if the truck that has the bed on it has an intact one I’m going to grab it too.

 

I'll check that out. Fellow mechanic/welder fabricator here. Love seeing when someone goes clutch and proves others wrong!

All in!
