I have a 98 4runner and I rear ended a lady yesterday and my front end got messed up. I need a whole new front bumper and grill as well as a hood. My headlight fell out as well. I was wondering what should I do. Is it easy to put a hood on and install a front bumper and grill? Also does anyone have a parted out 4runner in florida ?

 

Da whip lol

 

aw man that sucks ass,,,,hope your well,,,,,how fast were you going??

 

Mine wasn't as bad, but it was pretty easy. I got my parts from Certifit, and they worked fine. Not perfect, but good enough. You will probably also need something called the Front Bumper Reinforcement, which is a black metal piece that goes between the frame rails.

If nothing is bent, putting a grill ON is easy. Just stick five pins in five holes at the same time. It's getting it off that is tough.

I've never messed with my hood.

 

I was going 15 mph

And how much did everything cost?

 

did the radiator hit the fan? the radiator support wall might be damage but nothing too serious... I would look on CL or junkyards in your area... I would think maybe a couple hundred dollars and you would get your 4runner back.

 

It's just the front bumper, grill and hood. And thats what I'm doing

 

it's a 1998 model so it doesn't have the fat-lip bumper that needs the bumper reinforcement

 

If you were close, I'd make ya a deal on a hood. It's that silvery beige, but it would be a good deal. All other parts on the front are gone.

 

double post :shrug:

 

I went through this a few months ago. My damage might of been a little worse, my radiator was pushed into my fan.
The biggest pain in repairing everything was replacing the radiator support.
