    Tundra, Sequoia and Lexus, anything with a 5.7.

    Is there one out there?

    If I had deep pockets and vacant acreage. Collect em all and do one off resto-mods. Profit?
    :cheers: to Saturdays and any one of youz collecting them already.:cheers: to car farmers.

    Totaled Gen 2.5 tundras fetch 20-30K at auction

    I bought mine back for 20K after due to frame damage it was labelled Totaled, I'm not replacing frame and will roll the dice on whether the drivetrain got jammed a bit.

    I would purchase a second one if I found it but the prices are crazy high on all these 2.5 gens with the 5.7L.
    I just want 1 extra in my "junkyard" aka garage...pretty much the perfect truck for me.

    I know there is some yards that specialize in Toyota, not sure about 5.7''s. A bunch probably go abroad and receive major reconstructive surgery near their new homes.
