anybody know how much a hood for a 2nd gen runner would cost from a junkyard?

 

$250 bucks for a straight one ? hard to say some places charge more than some

 

depends on where you go, best bet is to call around and get different prices. At the EZ Pull in New Ringgold, PA I could get one for $10 (if I could find it) - if you have a you pull it yourself type junkyard nearby, grab a few metric wrenchs and go for a walk.

where do you live?

 

I have seen a 2nd gen 4runner (3rd gen pickup is the exact same BTW) hoods go for anywhere from $20-$100.
