    yep, I have been seeing them on craigs list under "San Francisco area" search but so far they haven't replied to emails so i guess they are just there to advertise their phone numbers. since i finally found the "corredt" car-parts.com i have been using the lists there to see the major players in parts and who has the most reasonable (close to average) prices.

    as for the above place i was talking about (landress auto in florida), I passed on them and would not recommend doing business with them, the girl started getting pissy with me for asking for combined shipping on the panels or maybe driving down to pick them up so i decided not to do business with them. i don't need attitude from a place im looking to spend hundreds of dollars at.

    I found another place in Alabama using car-parts.com called Graham's auto 205-668-3441 that was nice polite and has good prices but they are a small mom and pop first gen Toyota only wrecking yard so they don't work weekends but they only want $100 per door panel and estimated $40 shipping and combined shipping of $60 for both but that's still "yet to be confirmed" until after she gets them pulled and boxed for shipping. its a non public a access yard so they only let people order parts and pops takes the parts off and brings them to you so people don't damage other good stuff just to get what they need.

    Can you give me a little detail on the Asheville Toyota Yards? I need an engine bay wiring harness for a 90 4Runner 3.0...and what I need is the engine control harness.

    I did come across this: http://row52.com/Yards/?YardType=0&Sort=yard&SortDirection=asc&Page=1

    not sure about it at all but there it is if you want to try it.

    I posted a request for all the power stuff for two doors on Friday and haven't seen any response yet

    I've used MST Recycling, which contains pictures of the Tacoma's they have. This is valuable because in general you can see an image of what you're getting. In addition you can match up interiors.

    http://www.ranchotoyotatruckparts.com/toyota-tacoma.html

    Also, I've used TLS Recycling

    You're not going to find many "people" persons working the recycling yards. If you want bright & cheery hit up the Cracker Barrel. :)

    I just wanted to give more follow up info on the row52 website.

    after a full weak I got no response what so ever on a request for door panels, power mirrors, door wiring harness, power door locks, or power door switches from 01-04 taco, so not a single item on that list did anyone reply they had, or could get, so it looks like its not worth anything for getting help finding parts.

    oh well just wanted to let you guys know not to bother with them.
