1998 toyota 4runner straight axle conversion
« on: May 26, 2011, 02:16:26 PM »
We just bought this rig 3 weeks ago and my wife was on her way home and an old man hit her headon doing 40mph. The drivers side wheel was takin clear off and the insurance company totaled it. The repair estimate was $6500 and we have the option to by it back for $1200. the motor was untouched and the only body damage is a new front bumper, driver fender, inner wheel well, new front winshield and air bags. Is it worth it to by it back and do a front axle conversion and about how much $ am I talking?

It would depend on how much body damage there is.  If it has an elocker the truck is worth more than $1200 in parts.   Post up some pics.
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE
AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
