I got backed into at Walmart on Saturday by a guy with no insurance. Luckily I have uninsured motorist coverage...

It only slightly damaged the FR quarter panel and bumper so I think I'm gonna fix it myself and pocket the left over money. My question is which years body panels are a direct bolt on replacement for a 1999 4Runner? Thanks in advance!
 
Got any pics of the rig as well as the damage?

Ahhh, it's just the front fender. Easy replacement. Should be any fender from that generation 4runner. Not familiar with the years on a 4, but for a Tacoma it is 95.5- 2000. Make sure it is from a 4x4, because the fender has a bigger bulge IIRC. Wickipedia will indicate the years that the 3rd Gen spanned. Hope this helps and good luck!

You're welcome sir. Also, if you plan on painting the new/ used fender yourself, any automotive paint supply worth a sh!t can mix your factory paint color based off your VIN number, considering your rig is factory color. So, just to ramble on, I have been told that the chinese aftermarket body panels don't fit all that well without some "finessing"(?) so I would try the junk yards first for a factory fender and who knows, you might find one matching your color! Just a thought. Ok, rambling done.

Edit: I just connected your screen name with the color of your rig. Not factory I am guessing?
 
Surprisingly it is a factory color! It's purple, but Toyota called it "Steller Blue Pearl" so guys like me can drive it with no shame :-) It is a rare color though so my odds of finding it aren't that good... On a bright note, this incident gives me the motivation to go ahead and get a Tacoma whip while I've got it apart.
 
Interesting! I'm not really interested in changing it from the stock configuration, just want to get it back from the crunched configuration :-)
 
You can get direct replacement for your truck from 96-02. From 00-02 you have a fender flare but that is also removable
