While my LX died far from any trail, but at least it died on a mountain in a fitting place. The steep inclines of the Seattle metro were too much for the small cylinder #6 head gasket and it finally gave out at nearly a quarter of a million miles. After iterative gains on the weekends over a few years, I had made it as far as pulling the block. But then it went from bad to worse. Last November the area was hit by a Bomb Cyclone that sent shrapnel through the garage wall, further damaging the body.
With its age and length of repairs growing the longer it sits, I've decided its time. I have owned it 15 of it's 28 years, and 130k of the 230k miles. It's got a million memories and my favorite truck to date. I've got my heart set on a new LC or GX someday, so it won't be long.
What I don't know is how best to get rid of it? Unfortunately I don't have time to part it, but also know its not worth much in it's pile form. I'm mainly interested in finding a home with an owner or shop that would use it for parts or restoration or plaything. I looked through the classifieds for some hints on a reasonable price but most were in great condition and the parts section mostly had "message me". Any tips are appreciated.

Have a pic of the body damage? Sell it for cheap, someone will want the parts
