Heeding the advice given to another Noob on here. I decided to try my luck this weekend at the local yards. I was initially looking for rear quarters, as mine have rusted on both sides right at the wheel well.
So i called around to some local places that let you go get the stuff yourself, and found a place that had 5 FJ60's/62's on site. so i went down there. The guy initially told me they would be $200 per side. I thought that was pretty good, then i showed him some pictures of what mine looked like. He decided to give them both to me for $ 200.00
Anyway they had a guy show around for a while and we found a left and a right (from 2 different 60's) with no rust whatsoever. They happened to be the only two good one out of all five vehicles. The yard guy i was with marked where they should be cut and they are cutting them off for me to pick up Wednesday, but along the way i saw a bunch of stuff i had to have -
Air intake Hose -
Both Front interior Door panels (perfect!)-
Front headrests -
I did a quick pricing on Cruiserparts.net and SOR and these thing could have totaled over $800 Bucks!
I took it all home including the quarter panels for $275.00!
Oh - Every single one of the 60's still had the 2F in it. and they had a really rusty 55 looking sad and lonley.
