Need parts in Ontario

I have been calling around to a bunch of auto wreckers looking for a parts car and have come up with nothing. I really need a front crossmember to replace my broken one. Does anyone know of a wrecker that has at least one 4WD in the yard?

3A-C, there's an '85 model SR5 at the junkyard here in Nashville. I've taken some trim pieces and the roof rack off of it, and tried to get the trailer hitch, but haven't been able to get it off yet. What is it you're needing ?? I think everything under the front end is still there.

Jon,your talking about the section of tube~steel with a bolt~hole on both-ends,right? If so,next time I go~south I'll grab one...but it wouldnt be for a couple months.

I really need a front crossmember. This the part that the engine, steering rack and swaybar mount to. Mine has a broken swaybar mount which really messes up the steering and alignment. It isn't real easy to take off.

I am planning on going back to the yard tomorrow....need to snag a couple more trim pieces, and going to take some liquid wrench or some such stuff and try to get that trailer hitch off. I will look at the crossmember and see if I can get it for you. Do you just need the crossmember ? or are there other pieces that are necessary as well ?

Don't bother taking the crossmember off - it's alot of work. I'm trying to find one within reasonable distance and if I cant, I'll use one from a 2 wheel drive which I can get. Thanks for the offer.
