So guys..my future 4wd parts source got carted to the scrap yard and boy am I unscrewed lol I was *this* close lol

 

think 'Mint condition RX' in place of 4wd and that'll probably give you an approximation of my state of mind..

 

ARGH!!

 

ah well the quest continues

I feel your pain. Is it one of those yards that won't sell whole cars? On of my local yards has a decent 3-door that they won't let me have. Liability reasons they said. Such a pity to see good cars go to waste.

if its in a scrap yard....go and get it!

LOL when things get scrapped here it usually means the guy took the truck to the nearest gully and heaved the scrap over the edge illegally...

that means you can go to the gully and pull the parts you need...right?

if I had climbing gear and a crane to haul it up the 50-100' depth these gullies average in depth..also assuming the shell wasn't crushed by its own mass when it hit bottom...I'll try to investigate and see if I locate it and if it is still in reasonable enough shape to salvage the parts I need..but what sucks even more is I had already lossened all the bolts holding everything in place and had em screwed in finger tight all except the carrier bearing..that was all I had to undo to drop the entire drive line back from the car..and my muffler guy dumps it..bleh..
