A two hour gap missing from your life. Do you have a hole near your belly button? Do you feel somewhat violated…?

Toyota parts 4runnerPlug your full VIN# into the search box and click SEARCH; this should return parts only applicable to your vehicle's factory config (cab type, drivetrain, colors etc.) Click on the parts grouping you want to investigate from the 4 options returned, i.e. 'Engine', 'Electrics', 'Body & Interior', 'Transmission' etc. In most cases you'll be given some high-level exploded diagrams ("Schemes"). Scroll down to find the exploded schematic with your area of interest, and click on it; if there's only one schematic showing, skip to the next step. In the final scheme you're reviewing, either (A) click on the reference number pointing at your part in the picture, noting that "RH" and "LH" refer to right-hand and left-hand parts, where applicable, or (B) click on the part description link to the right. Review any notes or details on the final parts page, especially if there are multiple part numbers; for example, with interior parts, you may find color designations like "MD GRAY", "OAK", or "FAWN" for the part color. Use your brain, some may be in shorthand. After you're confident you have the right part number, plug it into the parts.toyota.com system and check for local dealerships to see what the discounted pricing is, or just order it from McGeorge (now Ourisman) Toyota since they have some of the best online pricing nationally. Pro tip: If you need a sanity check, sometimes searching the part number in Google Images, and even in fleaBay will give you visual confirmation of the part. It may help to search for (A) the part number in quotations, or (B) removing any dashes from the part number, or (C) a combo of both A&B.If all else fails, or the price just seems too high for your palate, check out McGeorge (now Ourisman) Toyota's online storefront. They have some of the deepest parts discounts nationally, but note: They have three separate storefronts! Two of those DO NOT use the new Toyota Parts system, and all three will give you different discount levels! Be sure to give them your VIN also so they can confirm your part is correct. That turned out to be ambiguous. In the search line, I entered Toyota Parts 4Runner and came up with a bunch of choices. 1st was a dealer and his prices were very high. On several others, the only one that made any useful sense was parts geek. Wide variety of choices and very low prices. What have you heard about their products ?? I'd rather pay $70 for a fender than $700 or more....and the car Is 22 years old. I need hood, right fender and bumper, along with cladding, etc. A few other bits & pieces that I should be able to find locally. |

Parts geek I have used and they do carry parts from Toyota OME suppliers. Motor parts, sensors you want Denso, Aisin or Toyota brand parts. After market just won't work. Wheel bearings are Koyo brand. Lower ball joints only buy Toyota brand, after market will not last and will fail .. Do Not Buy after market lower ball joints. After market body parts I'm guessing should be OK as long as they fit....  Some parts you can only get after market. I'm like you, if I can get a $70 fender I will try it. |

I guess the body shop I got an estimate from isn't so far off after all, with a bid of $6500. I thought he was severely padding the thing since I can buy all the needed parts for under $1,000. The online adjuster I fought my way thru for the insurance co. came up with an estimate of $6300.
They're sending me a check for that, minus the deductible. I've already started repairing it myself and will prob'ly finish it myself.

That check will be made out to you and the body shop most likely.
