so you have 1 windshield broken and one side window broken, correct? Thats not too bad. You should be able to straighten out the roof enough to get a new windshield in. That front corner area looks gnarly. I would also get the frame checked for straightness if you are planning on fixing it. I bet your front subframe deal is all bent up on the driver side just like my 90's was. I have some 3rd gen parts for sale that might work if you need them.

idk yet what ill do. my parents dont really wanna bother trying to fix it. they say just find something with a blown 3.0 and put the good motor from this in it and dont do this again. theres no reason for the frame to be bent. just the side and top got FUBAR'd it was a slow roll in soft dirt.

hmm... find another blown 3.0 toy again then, I guess.

They shouldn't be too hard to find, there are blown 3.0 toys everywhere, lol. I hope your brother got his ass chewed.

the body is already no good on this thing....catch a drift anyone? then pull the engine and put it in something else with a strait body...

I would not risk the chance of screwing up your engine by going out and beating Reeda. Just my

Just wait until the PO hears about his beloved Reeda.

I'd just fix it. Couple hundred and your good.

Swap engines. Take all useable spare parts (tranny, tcase, driveshaft, rear axle shafts, third, any good interior/exterior trim pieces) off of the 4runner then scrap it. You are just going to end up wasting more money on ANOTHER vehicle. And I agree, your brother needs to help you get squared away here since he rolled your ride.

Yeah well that makes the most sense to me. No point in getting ANOTHER vehicle to add to the collection. Lots of good parts on the 4runner. You can still wheel the snot out of your truck and not flopp it up. Just gotta learn to drive better than your brother. Look at my 4runner for instance. I have owned it almost 5 years, wheeled the crap out of it and still to this day it has a straight body. You can wheel a truck and keep it pretty at the same time.

yea, ill probly rock the runner for a while and trailer it too some local trails, beat it up, save the front doors for some half doors, and then call it good.

There you go. Just don't let your parents talk you into getting rid of your red truck, that thing is way nice and with all the spare parts from your 4runner you could have a really nice ride.

NorCalToy · « **Reply #230 on:** Jul 03, 2008, 10:14:33 PM »

yea, i think thats whatll hapen. well at least thats my plan for now. it just sucks to have that much into the red truck. idk, well see waht happens. because i could still sell the red for about $1500 and put that much into a new runner and then swap the brand new V6 over. ok yea or i could keep the 89. shoot, im confusing myslef. idk, ill have a discussion wtihem tomorrow.

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #231 on:** Jul 03, 2008, 10:31:37 PM »

Another runner? You really love those things, don't you? Well, your brother proved they are top heavy, lol. I will agree with 46&2 and say to fix the red truck and save stuff off of the runner. I think your brother owes you at least $500, if not the whole price you paid for the runner. Only reason I say a little less is because he helped swap the engine into it. No matter what you do, let your brother know he owes you big. From my experiences, it is best to fix the junk you already own than to drag home more stuff. So fix the red truck, and wheel it around. I really don't know why your parents think it is too clean, it is not that hard to keep a truck clean. Just don't EVER let your brother drive it. ever. And be smart when you wheel and not hit trees or flop the red truck, and it will be fine. Ok, I am done

Fix the red truck

Me either, but read the Pirate FAQ sometime and you will learn LOTS of little things that can be very useful. I believe that is where I learened about those doors.
