I was recently involved in an accident and I need to begin repairing my car, it's a '93 4runner V6 ...

The problem: My front end got bashed in pretty hard, the radiator is shot...

I had to break the radiator fan shroud just to get the radiator to pull up.

I am short on cash and here is the list of things that broke in the accident.

Radiator

Left (driver's side) headlight

Bumper - I found one on craigslist for $50, That's a great deal that I can't afford to pass up...

Both of the turn signal corner lights (next to both headlights)

The bottom "parking" lights

radiator fan shroud

and the fan that is directly behind the grill, I don't know the name of it, but the shroud get really trashed. The fan, however, still works.

Money is tight and I need help as to what would be a necessity to get my car back up and running as i just got a new job and will have money to purchase the rest of the parts as soon as i get my first check!

Any help is appreciated. Even if you know where to get some of these parts for cheap!

 

Hit up some junkyards.
find the radiator shroud, the operating lights, and blinkers.
Btw, the corner lights aren't blinkers lol.
The ones in the bumper are the blinkers.
Welcome to yotatech enjoy your stay.

 

Thanks for the welcome!

Also, I could have sworn that the corner lights worked as blinkers too, otherwise how would the people next to me know if i was switching lanes or not?

I think i may be right.

Anyways, hopefully I can piece this thing back together. I am going to pick a part tomorrow.

 

what year, model? I have a parts truck that might be of help. Where do you live?

 

the turn signals are on the bumper...

 

In this thread there is a link a few posts down to an ebay store that sells replacement head/marker/turn lamp housings and bulbs as a set, pretty reasonably priced and they seem to stock them for several different years/models.

As for a fan shroud, if you have the 4cyl (don't know if the v6 models have a different shroud) I have an extra shroud that is in pretty good condition (no cracks/breaks as far as I can tell) you can have for the cost of shipping, but I can in no way guarantee if it'll fit on anything but an '88, though it should fit a variety of years, I'll take a picture next time I am up at my farm where the shroud is if you'd like.

 

i don't see any info about your truck or where you are. maybe you're a little freaked out over wrecking your truck.

relax. you can rebuild a truck like this fairly cheap with used parts.

also, most of these parts are available new on ebay from carparts.com at very low prices.

the basics that you need, the rad, fan, shroud, overflow, headlights, corner markers, bumper, grille, bumper brackets, bumper turn signals, are all fairly interchangeable between p/u and 4runner, 2wd/4wd, depending on what year you have.

so you do not necessarily have to locate junk vehicles for the exact same model.

but you'll need to post that info first.

 

Sorry about that, it's a '93 4runner V6

 

My extra shroud may be worthless to you then but I'll take a picture this weekend just to be sure.

 

alright thanks man, just send me a PM when you do.

On the phone with pick-your-part right now.

 

Shouldn't the insurance company be paying for the repairs?

 

Yea, but I only have liability and I was at fault.

 

that's a good model for a range of other models to get parts from. if the rad. supt. is ok, you can pull most of the basic parts from vehicles 89-95, pickup/4runner. but like i said, check ebay. the chinese parts available for our trucks are so cheap, they are as expensive as salvage in some cases. also check car-part.com. they are a salvage yard search engine. (completely different from carparts.com)

 

Yea.

I am hitting up pick your part today and another junk yard too.

 

Well, pick your part and this other junk yard were a bust.

Their prices weren't bad, it's just that all of this stuff is cheaper on ebay.
