2004 TRD 4x4 front end accident
Well, not a good day. Was very slippery out today and hit a pole in the center of the front bumper(pused back a good six inches and bent the support behind the bumper). Damage from the front bumper to the hood. Looks like I need a complete bumper assembly ( lights are OK), Raditor, AC Condensor, support bar that fits behind the bumper and connects the 2 sides of the frame, the sections ( top-center, left and right) that the raditor mounts to,etc . Obviously I will need quite a few parts. My question is should I use all orginial OEM pieces ( this can be very expensive), or can I use aftermarket parts such as raditor, ac condensor, hood, chrome bumper, etc; What are your recommendations? IF aftermarket what web-sites can I use to start ordering some of these parts? What is the quality of aftermarket parts? Who would you recommend. I also leave in Virginia, I am not sure of the availability of parts from junk yards, what do you think? ANy advise would be appreciated.
