Bracket for grille?

The grille on my 2006 4Runner is shot. All the bolts have rusted or sheared. Easy to find the replacement or aftermarket grille but impossible to find the lower bracket assembly (hood release attaches to this bracket) or replacement bolts. Even the local Toyota dealer couldn’t locate. Any recommendations?

 

Would that be made into the core support piece or is it entirely separate? If Toyota doesn't offer it any longer, Suggest checking with your local salvage yards or Pic a Part depending what you available in your geographical area.

 

Thanks Philip. Thinking it may actually be built into the original OEM grille.

 

Same problem, what did you end up doing?

 

TrailRunner Customs sells some grille hardware but not the bracket sought by the OP. I bought fogs from them and customer service is excellent.

 

welcome to the forum.
I couldn't find that bracket either. maybe it's not a separated piece and included with another part of the bumper?

 

I would think if anything it would come on an oem grill but don’t really want to spend that kind of money. I was hoping to find just that piece. Does anyone know if the Oem grill has it?

 

Bump

 

Does this diagram help?
