    *** ON Hold***


    ***********LOOKS LIKE I"M GOING TO TRY TO SAVE HER!!!

    SHE STILL TURNS ON EVEN AFTER THE FIRE!******

    ****************Sorry if a little incoherent still on treatment currently***********

    *** I was told to expect $5-8k range with parts and 4x4 aviliblity in SoCal area after everything so this is OBO***


    ************TDLR:
    I'm trying to find someone that would want to rebuild her since I have most of the parts.

    I'm waiting on the insurance buy back and putting together a list since once I find out then I have to give them a quick answer.

    fire from the engine harness in bay but still turns on.
    No space or ability to do it myself due to the medical treatment I'm undergoing
    OR if someone is willing to take on the job, I'm willing to pay but i can't seem to find a shop that isn't overbooked and will rape me in costs...

    Thanks you guys!1f970_d3c0a44429ee09b4748f85f30c0c882c008f865f.png
    Life just kinda sucks right now and I'm in over my head with everything...*******


    *** WILL NOT PART OUT TRUCK***
    I still have to buy it back and don't have the space to deal with it

    ***MAKE AN OFFER FOR THE WHOLE TRUCK with all salvage title paperwork***

    *** I ALSO HAVE A 91 3000GT VR4 THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO TRADE ON TOP FOR ANOTHER 1ST OR 2ND GEN TUNDRA 4X4***
    2 FOR ONE DEAL

    ***REMEMBER I ALSO HAVE TO BUY THE TRUCK BACK FROM THE INSURANCE THEN SELL IT TO YOU WITH ALL THE PARTS***

    ***This is no an overnight deal due to Insurance still being involved for title***


    2001 Toyota Tundra 4X4
    350k miles Was Clean title and clean frame for the age

    Ok my Tundra caught fire a few weeks ago.

    I've had it for years and recently did a full overhaul to the truck to try to keep her running for years to come High miles but all new parts.

    The truck still turns on but the insurance is going to Total out the truck.

    I need a truck ASAP for work so I'm wondering if anyone wants mine to fix.

    Current installed parts list:
    JBA CARB legal shorty headers with thermo wrap
    3-inch lift with 5100's
    Helwig ADD rear leaf
    Rear Addcel sway bar
    overland performance upgraded extended sway bar links
    extra thermo fan on switch
    6 gang switch panel
    13.0 Android touch screen with full off-grind GPS capability
    Rear tailgate camera integrated handle
    Custom front, sides and rear bumpers
    Fender Flares
    Camper
    tailgate assist
    17 rims with 285-70 tires
    Recaro SR4 seats with custom brackets
    Black carpets
    Lights
    OEM fluids and Redline gear oils used

    Full engine tune-up last year with all OEM parts including LBJs, timing belt, water pump, ETC... 370cc 12-hole injectors

    Parts in box to be put on:

    Mishimoto 3 inch aluminum radiator
    GX460 big brake upgrade with SS line
    TRD Kazuma LSD rear diff still BNIB
    4.56 dana front and rear gears
    Front Powertrix locker
    High-angle CV boots
    Trans-go valve rebuild kit
    SOS Rear caliper conversion kit

    What I think it needs:

    Engine harness tranny clean up and service (trans-go kit)
    coil packs, New MSD were just installed but just in case
    Power steering reservoir
    Intake and MAF
    wiper motor hood, can get the same from Hannemannn fiberglass in Azuza
    grill, still have stock to throw in
    miscellaneous hoses and connectors...

    Looks alot worst than it is.

    I really don't want to lose her but medically, I can't do the work nor do I have the space.

    I really love this truck and have gone everywhere with her.

    The cause seems to be the new DUI Interlock set up that was installed last month... Lucky right?

    The truck still turns on but I haven't tried to start it.

    Just needs some love and time that I don't have Especially with all the custom parts it's sad to just let her go...
    If I had the time and space I would do it myself.

    feel free to ask any questions and make offers Let s make a deal by next week!

    ***AGAIN NOT LOOKING AT LOW OFFERS, THIS IS FOR THE WHOLE TRUCK, PARTS AND THE BUY BACK COSTS FROM INSURANCE***

    I BELIEVE THIS IS WORTH EVERY PENNY THAT YOU'LL SPEND

    *** I was told to expect $5-8K after but OBO!!!***

    So far the first shop says it's the DUI interlock device I had installed last month, still waiting on insurance to see what they say.

    But basically, they're going to total it out regardless of fault so may never know unless I fix it...

    On hold right now, Looks like I can save her!!

    Even after the fire she still turns on!!!!

    Fire looks like oil of some sort was started over the thermo-wrapped JBA shorties...

    I was thinking it came our the tranny fluid filler neck but I'm told that's not possible so gotta find out where, no oil on the valve cover gaskets so just wondering how...???

    But burn marks match that area on the exhaust/ manifold flange.
