    PARTING OUT: 1989 4x4 TV (Automatic LE)

    Hey guys!

    After years of searching, I finally found a second van to pair with my '88 4x4. Unfortunately, this one is way past saving. Aside from looking like total hell, a PO blew the head gasket driving and it would just require way too much work to get her back on the road. Also, the body is basically rusted out. Seriously, it's bad. I paid $460 for it and it's already paid itself off as I needed the radiator and swapped in the brand-new battery that came with it. I'm keeping some of the unicorn 4x4 specific parts for my other van, but the rest of it is up for grabs. If you need a part, just ask! Worst thing I can do is say no.

    A couple of quick things:
    - Paypal only
    - I would entertain shipping outside of US but bear in mind I've never done that before and I'll be learning as I go.
    - The body is shot so unless there is some plastic or some small trim pieces you need I wouldn't even bother asking to ship it.
    - I do work full-time and I'll be moving at the end of the month so it may take a week or so to pull the part you need.
    - If the piece is too big/heavy/awkward to ship it'll probably stay with the van unless you really, really want it and are willing to help me make appropriate arrangements.

    This community and some if it's members have single-handedly help keep my van on the road, so I'm hoping I can return the favor and help some others do the same. Please reply with any part requests and I'll let you know if it's available! Also, if you have any tips on how to best pull said parts please include that in the post. I didn't include any pictures of the interior as it's pretty much empty, but I can take pictures of whatever area of the interior that you'd like. Overall, I'd say it's 90% complete.

    Some pictures of the van:

    Does your van have a set of the factory fog lights?

    I know you've been looking for these, hopefully I can help. I never actually noticed these before but they're the small, center-most pair of lights in the first picture, right? If so then yes.

    How much for the hitch and the rear mud flaps? all three of my vans are missing them. I used old licence plates on one and then got pulled over in Washington for misuse of licence plates. One still had a valid tag on it.

    Obviously with the windows as well, right? How do you remove those windows without breaking them? I would need to know how to do that before I decided whether or not I'd be able to do it.

    The rear mud flaps are still available. Unfortunately, the hitch is welded and bolted (and then the bolts rusted out), so it's on there pretty good. There's no way to get that off without messing the whole thing up and, if I do somehow find a way, that's one of the pieces I'm going to keep for my other van.

    If you still want the rear mud flaps PM me and I'll pull them, take pictures, and we can talk price.

    the window frame is essentially siliconed into the body of the car. get yourself a few strong flathead screwdrivers and/or an agile pry-bar. wedge them carefully around the mating edge of the window-frame and the body and break the seal while working your way around, prying it from the body. pretty simple! the seal has the consistency of sticky rubber!

    Re: PARTING OUT: 1989 4x4 TV

    I 'm looking for the plastic clips that hold (along with M5 nuts) the rear hatch "handle/ reverse lights" bar. The bar has a part# on the back but does not come up on any Toyota document, never mind the clips. I checked with both my local dealerships part departments ( both very nice people) , no one can figure it out.
    The bar is held with nuts, 5 millimeter I believe, where there is access for a socket wrench and clips in difficult places for a wrench. The trick is to use needle nose plyers to pinch the clip from the back (Inside) and let the rubber seal/ gasket do the pull out for you. I would not need those clips if I had known this before. There is 10 of them and I screwed the pooch trying to pry the bar from the outside after removing the nuts! these clips are called "trim panel retainers" on Clips and fastener.com they come in bag of 25 for 7 to 8 $ a bag but without part # I can buy the wrong one till the end of time! (Trust me. I did) I'd pay a buck a piece for every one you can get in good shape. Let me know.
    LG.

    Sounds straightforward enough. That one sounds like I'm going to get my other pair of hands to help me with so that piece might take a little longer to pull but I'll try . I'll keep you posted on how that one comes along.

    I'll see what I can do with this one but unfortunately a PO went into the back hatch and tore it all up, so I'm afraid that many of those clips are missing. Do you need all 10? or just a few?

    As many as you can rescue would be greatly appreciated. Hard to believe that someone would do that much damage.

    By the way, when you remove the sliding windows, as you pry the frame away, use a box knife to hack at the butyl tape. Keep dipping the blade in mineral spirit if you can to keep it from becoming too sticky. Ware gloves as it is a very black sticky mess. Ask me how I know. Now for cleaning its better to use acetone as it does not spread the stuff around like mineral spirit does.

    Is this the clip that you're talking about?

    Because if it is, that's the lone survivor right there :( For reference, this is what the back hatch looks like.

    I pulled the sliding door handle and the mounting hardware for it. No cracks, the chrome is a little faded in the normal spots but that is par for the course if you want it. When you say "assembly" what do you mean by that? Do you need the door internals too or just what it'll take to mount the handle onto the door?

    I just mean whatever I can get to replace the handle on the outside. The metal handle cracked in the cold. I'm not sure if I need the internals but I might. How much for the handle and internals? DM me, I might also want the inside handle as well, mine has never worked. Thanks!

    No, this is not the clip. The one I'm looking for look like this: it hold the plastic molding that has the Toyota name on with the handle under and the reverse lights on each sides there are 5 of these and 10 nuts holding the trim/bar/molding. Thank you.

    If you are not intimidated by a little sawzaw job, I also need this area of the 1/4 panel 4x4 toy 5.jpg, just the skin would be fine. If this is more than what you want to chew on I understand.
