1st gen 4runner body replacement parts!

I thought I'd offer up my experience with some body parts. I ran into a body shop guy through a buddy when I was trying to get my passenger side rear quarter panel on an 88 1st gen two door 4 runner fixed. He flat out told me it was too rusted to even bondo...and that it would be a waste of money to try. He referred me to a place called "Mill Supply" in northern Ohio.

All I can say is its awesome. Cheap and they have fenders and the actual quarter panel that's a perfect match. Now granted you will need to do some metal work to get the panels on the truck but a little welding and grinding goes a long way. I ended up buying my panel from them via their eBay store because I think shipping was cheaper or free. But for $50 it's a steal......fits perfect.

Check it out.....

Can't be universal as they state, the pass side has a Fuel door opening on the trucks.

Works out ok for the 4Runners though, since the fuel door is further forward.

Good find though!

welding is not "all that" , especially on body panels where you cant get behind to seal , EPOXY bonding is the "new" welding ..

Yeah my bad for having 4 runner tunnel vision. I'd still inquire by sending them an email and seeing. Just because it isn't listed doesn't mean they don't have or can't stamp one out. I'll work on my title skills ha....(work in progress)
