Parts for your 1st Generation Toyota 4Runner
I'm starting to find that some parts are getting hard to find unless you can get a Govt. Bailout to be able to afford to buy it from the Toyota Dealer.
Post up your 1st Generation Toyota 4Runner parts needs and links to find.....here.
We can use this thread to help fellow members find good used parts/or good deals on new parts..... that you may find in your local area. Hopefully we can help each other find parts, save money and help keep our 1st Gen. Alive!
My current part need.
I'm looking for an "Igniter". The small metal electronic box that sits on top of the coil. This part is $545 at my local Toyota Dealer! Yikes!
For my 1988 Toyota 4Runner with the 3.0V6.
I found a junk yard south of San Diego that will sell me a used one for $50 bucks. But he checked and he is out of them. I spent two hours on the phone today, trying to find one with no luck.
A used Igniter for my truck can Only be for a 1988/89. Or, my Toyota dealer told me I can also use the MR2 Igniter for 1988/89. I'm going to check on a MR2 locally, in the morning.
Here is a pic of the part.
See metal box on top of coil and Green Plug. Would you want to spend $545 on that? For God's sake!
And it's almost pitiful that a junk yard wants $50 bucks for this 20 year old electronic part that probably has 200K miles on it, when you can hardly get $25 bucks for a much newer used TV!....UG! Sorry! Just venting. Must have been the two hours on the phone today!
