85 4Runner stolen...

[TRT2]

Recovered night of 12/30, near Lake Clementine... stripped but not burned.

cost 804 to get out of the impound yard and towed home. Will post photos later...

Not much good news here but... the engine is there and almost intact, the tranny transfer are still present.

The IFS box is still there... but obviously, interior trashed for stereo removal, tires axles springs shocks drivelines gone, top gone.

Hood doors and tailgate still there.

Winch and winch bumper gone of course.

Not sure if I should say glad or sorry to hear that Tony. At least you have closure I suppose...

Good that you got it back but bummer on the missing parts. Drop it off at Bone Daddy's and he can fix it up for you. You won't need the body either.

Give it to me for a weekend or two and I will re-place the front bumper for ya Tony, just an offer, let me know.

Tony, I've got a set of axles setting in front of the shop right now that I'll make you a hell of a good deal on, might be a little wider than your use to - chevy 14bolt and dana 60 front. Or you let me if you want to part with whats left.

Thanks Tim.

Phil is coming over this Saturday to load it up and haul it off. He is going to drop the engine in Kathy's white runner.

Glad to hear it came home finally, although having apparently been through a really bad party.

I understand being done with the smaller rigs, been there myself, including a theft. I can say that although you do not ever really get over it, you will protect and take care of the other vehicles better.

Please, everyone seeing this, do multiple things to protect your rig, there's just too many oxygen thieves out there these days.
