What do you do with your stock parts?

Do you keep them JIC? Sell them to fellow TWs? Or scrap them?

Mine haven't been selling very well at all and I don't have room to store them. I have a set of wheels and tires, exhaust, sway bar, tow-package hitch and front shocks and coils just sitting around gathering rust and I don't like it.

 

Usually I sell but sometimes I give away as well drpending on what it is. My bumper crush bar I couldnt even give away so I trashed it. For a lot of your stuff shipping would be a pita so you can try craigslist or post in your regional thread.

 

You can try and sell them locally online. If you really have issues getting rid of the stuff you could always give them away for free.

 

Throw most of it in the garbage. I have kept stock parts in the past from previous vehicles and I still have some of them. I have come to realize that they aren't worth enough money to bother trying to sell them, and most of the time, no one wants your stock parts.

I had a ton of leftover honda parts from a parts car I bought (took what I needed) and after I sold my DD honda, I didn't need them anymore. One day I loaded them up in the back of my gf's (now ex) xtrerra and took them to a local honda specific repair shop. Opened the back up and told them they can have everything for free. Their eyes lit up like a kid in the candy store.

 

I ended up throwing a sway bar in the trash. I would say take the end links off though. Those would be easier to sell/ship

Our wheels also fit on 6 lug chevys as well so it doesnt have to just be a tacoma that could buy them. Post them up on Clist

 

Craigslist the wheels/tires and shocks for sure. My wheels/tires solds like hot cakes for $600 (granted they had 2k miles on them). There are a lot of high mileage Tacomas (and other rigs) out there looking for replacement parts. CL takes 5 minutes total to post with pics so it doesn't hurt to try to get some cash out of your trash....word.
