First time 4 runner owner

Good Afternoon all,
So 2 weeks after I got my used 4Runner , had an accident and have been watching YouTube videos on replacing the grille and front bumper. So how easy is it and where is a good place to get parts from?

 

Well that sucks about the accident, but bam wholesale parts is always a go to for parts (https://www.*****************.com/), but monitor Toyota for sales around holidays and can get a discount and free pick up at your dealer.

I think the forum software edits out the link… try this, to get to BAM Wholesale: https://tinyurl.com/BAMlink25

 

Welcome

 

The good thing about the bumper is that it's only 10 screws, with a 10mm i think.. and it just falls off like that. With one screw needing the hood opened,

 

Welcome! Bummer about the mishap, hoping you’ll get things sorted out quickly.

Don’t be afraid to search wrecking yard inventories for parts but the BAM and Toyotaparts websites are good ones to check. Since you’re replacing the grill, don’t be surprised *if* things don’t line up perfectly. The supporting structure behind the grill may have been bent (depending upon the severity of the hit). The good news is that the underlying structure can be coaxed back into proper alignment with a tug here, a tap there if needed.

 

Welcome from Wisconsin! I usually go to Rock Auto for parts on our vehicles.

Welcome. @Lucille56 - have you had a shop assess the extent of the damage? It would seem you'd need to know that before ordering parts. There might be damage that's not apparent. Good luck with the fix.

So silly question…. Is it possible to just replace what needs to be replaced? Or should I order everything I might need and return what I don’t?

 

I refer back to my question in post #9. Otherwise, how do you know what you need?

 

My mechanic and I went over the front end and I will probably go see them again prior to ordering. Crossing my fingers it’s all cosmetic.
