Yota Yard

I need a new wiring harness and a member here pointed them out to me. They seem pretty inexpensive (150$ for a complete harness....50$ for the engine and 100$ for the dash).
I was wondering if anyone's had any sort of experience with them....quality, service, ect. I'm in California so I'd have to have the part shipped.
Any input would be great, thanks!

i ordered some manual hubs from them. They accidentally sent the wrong ones (easy mistake, they look 95% identical) when i called them up they shipped out the correct set same day, and didnt make me send the wrong ones back, so i got an extra set free. I was very pleased with them overall.

Yota Yard was recommended to me by Brian at FROR Fab, they have a good selection for good prices. We have sourced early-model straight axles from them and much more, Nancy recently acquired full ownership and she is still learning the finer details so be patient but she will get you what you need. Another shop in CO is Central Foreign, they were recommended to me by Mike at ORS.

Yota Yard 303-292-5078 (Ask for Nancy)

Central Foreign 303-295-2277 (Ask for Don) has mostly late-model parts
We got our 3.4L complete from them.

Actually I was just up at the Yota Yard over Labor Day weekend. Me and my dad flew up to drive my sisters new Land Cruiser back to Houston, and we stopped in there on saturday morning to pick up my new front axle for the SAS on my 4Runner!! We were there for about 2 hours looking around, and yes they have a great selection. They have pretty much anything you could need, and Nancy was really helpful too. You just have to specify exactly what you want and I'm sure they can help you out. But I'm definitely going to be ordering some more stuff from them to ship to me for the SAS in a few months! They are really cheap too on some of their stuff.

Hopefully now they're prices on birfields will come down Jim used to price them really high since he knew we broke them (he did too, he was a crawler).

Thanks for the replies. Actually, I just talked to my mechanic today and they were able to fix the problem I was having with the current wiring setup, but I still may be better off in the long run with a new one.
Sounds like they're a good place to do business with, I'll keep them in mind. Thanks again for the input!

I'll say it just as I did in another thread...

AVOID THIS YARD. Straight fraud, charging my credit card in response to a disagreement I had with Troy, one of the owners, about a previous overcharge. He just gave me a big " you" with a $20 charge for no reason at all, currently being investigated as fraud by Mastercard and my bank.

As soon as I saw this thread I felt compelled to jump in, although the last post by chrism86 is a bit of a bummer about them.

I literally live a few blocks from Yota Yard and have nothing but positive things to say about them. I've never dealt with them via the web or phone only, but have never had a bad experience in my trips there. Just a Toyota truck salvage yard where I've removed parts and bought on-site without having to ask questions. My experiences there have always been good, and I've always paid cash, so I've never been in a position of needing to dispute a charge.

2 thumbs up from me.

I've bought a few things from them in person, and they been real good and friendly. Even so far as giving me free parts.

They are local to me and I have used for small hard to find pieces in the past.

Never had a bad experience with them-sorry to hear about chrisms86 experience.

Jim used to own Yota Yard. His Ex wife got the business in the divorce, so he opened up "Jim's Got Parts" instead.

The Yota yard rocks. I've been getting parts from them for at least 10 years. Never any problems and always have what your looking for. "May the parts be with you"

Super cool people to deal with. However, I thought they were pretty pricey.
