I just bought a 2000 4runner that has some front end damage. The radiator was not damaged in the crash. I've had the truck tested to make sure the frame wasn't damaged/bent. I need to get a new front bumper, valance, grille, core support?, bumper bracket?! Any help with the names of all the major parts forward of the radiator would help! I'm gonna try to fix it myself. Any advice on where to score the parts or how to go about this minor rebuild. Thanks!

 

Looks like just the front bumper and valance, a grille, probably bumper mounts. You'll have to remove the damaged bumper to see what else you might need underneath, that you can't see.

 

i'd say look on ebay for "4runner parts list", it's pretty much just a section of a book that body shops use for ordering parts like what you're going to do. i got one for around $4 and it's helped with names and part #s, but you can also inquire at your local dealer and if they are nice they will print you off a lot of what you need. i see lots of after market stuff on ebay for bumpers and brackets or ask some of the guys on here that have or work at toyota wreckers and see if you can get some OEM parts cheaper than new or after market.

 

prolly will need some slight frame (crash support area) pulling to line up correctly.

 

I bought my old one back after it was hit too...



It doesn't look to bad at all. From what I see;

Front bumper with bracketry
Front Grill
Trim between headlights and bumpers
LF marker lamp
Possible Evaporator (if it's been punctured)

Like OSU said, you need to strip out what's bent to see for sure.

PS: Mine is at the body shop now for an A-pillar pull, but it was back under it's own power for less than $500 in used parts.

 

Awsome, thanks for all the advice. I don't think it will be that bad...but I just wasn't sure where to start. I'm psyched to have this truck. Make sure to swerve around stone walls and not try to drive through them. I can't wait to get started on this project.

 

I just ordered the parts list from ebay. $5.99 + $3.00 shipping.
