Front end collision

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 ?

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.

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 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.

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.
