    As promised...here's a couple of picts..taken of a recently damaged 2002 4Runner..over at my collision shop...as I was going over to bring my '97 home...the damage on the 2002, isn't all that great..and the shop said..it's a 2 day job, max....anyhow, long story short...the insurance company TOTALED it. owner from what I understand, took the meager check, and passed on buying it back...hence, it's waiting for the 4 Runner grim reaper, to come and take it to the local pull-a-part...where it'll probably get picked clean..before being crushed. shame. good shape ..and the frame was spotless.....oh well..

    Hey man will you see if they'll give me or sell me the front/radiator skid plate off this before it goes bye bye?

    I hope the insurance company sells it to a rebuilder rather than a scrap yard. I've seen worse driving down the road, this one could easily be saved. Even the antenna appears to be retracted! Those almost always break and get left in up position. I'd take those wheels if I could, they look a lot better than the Mickey Thompson knockoffs I have now.

    Would you be interested in these? No damage, just the clear coming off.
