Truck got a balck eye yesterday :(

Hello all, got a question. Having trouble finding a Brush Guard for my 88 4runner. Was in a accident yesterday, Woman pulled out in front of me ( Damn MD women drivers ). Her insc. adjuster is supposed to contact me today. I know about how much fender/bumper/lower valance and marker light cost, but am unable to find anything for a replacement brush guard to get a ball park figure together. Anyone know a site to find one? i have found multiple suppliers, but none carry one for my vehicle. I was lucky to find mine from an excursion to a junk yard. Any help is appreceiated, thanks!!

If its your whole front bumper then just replace it with a Marlin or Addicted front bumper

hehe probably because the mods deleted it, but yeah, take the cash and get yourself a marlin or addicted bumper.

For what you would pay for the replacement bumper and brush guard, it would most likely be cheaper to get yourself one of those. Safer too, in the event of another hit. Brush guards, bull bars etc etc offer no protection at all and in most instances actually multiply the damage taken.

OK, so just looked up kelly blue book, (well tried to) would only let me go back to '90. Found out even with NO cancer or body damage, other then what was done to her Tue. she is only worth about $1500 to $1800..... so i assume they will try to total it out, then i have buy it back then try to replace everything... junk yards around here have been VERY SLIM on older yota parts......... Can you say this sucks?

You can do what I did and pull the whole front core support back out with a come along, and then straighten out the fenders.
Usually isn't too hard to bend the metal on the fenders and get it to look reasonably good.
I mean, on my truck you can only really tell cuz my passenger fender has a strange curve along the top.

I would just get a nice dom bumper form Marlin or Trailgear. Brush guards are crappy.
