2002 4Runner hit cow.. is this worth fixin, how much to pay? (1 Viewer)

[Duane]

I saw this 2002 locally that a guy wants $2500 for. About 90,000 miles on it.
I'm thinking that by the time a guy replaces the whole front clip, coolers, passenger door, repack air bags, winshield, etc etc it isn't worth fixing but more of a parting out vehicle.
God knows how many things would need fixing in that engine compartment
The big variable to me is whether that engine was overheated and buggered. I mean if you hit a cow, a moose etc does the engine actually stop right away or just keep running?

What do you guys think its worth? fix it or strip it?

prolly not...
but then... anything is possible if you've got the mind.

if you 'ave the experience... you'll need a whole new/used front clip.
and good welding skills.

if it were me... I'd just part it out.

That's a lot of damage, he must have been really moo-ving when he hit that cow (sorry, couldn't resist)

Ouch, can't count the number of times I have gotten surprised by black cows on the road at night, they should be required to brand reflectors onto their arses.

If you part it out i'm interested in the three hole plates the front bumper mounts to.
bought a custom bumper built on a 2002 and i have a 98 with different frame ends than that.

If you do part it out I would also be interested in the running boards. - Thanks

To OP, I have a 96 that I'm parting out. A guy from T4r.org came to my house and cut out exactly what you need in less than an hour. I know it's hard to find a part out that doesn't have front end damage but maybe someone local is parting one out.

You guys should visit T4r.org or yotatech for the 4runner parts you need.
