ebay grilles bumpers etc any good?

[msahr]

I think I already know the answer, but my 86 4x4 had a broken trashed grille and headlight buckets. Anyone have experience with the new flood of new parts on ebay?

The OEM grille that was mostly connected (cracked) to Patty when I bought her didn't feel any more substantial than the Ebay grille I put on. I think I paid $40 for this one - low risk. I picked the base-level looking solid black...

The bumper is an ARB, and according to a guy at ARB... "Looks like this is the last one in North America" after scouring the warehouse database(s).

Looks pretty good. How did it fit? What did you use to attach it? BTW I really like those wheels with the wheel covers!

It fit like the OE grille - just reused the mounting points and hardware.

Thanks - the wheels and covers are for the FJ40 and still available from Toyota. Crazy.

That looks like a 2WD grille.

Better shot - before the bumper

Snooping around. I see there is a one piece version, and a three piece version (grille + buckets). That looks like one solid mass. Si?

I bought this one on eBay. Looks exactly like my old stock one.

Looks great. Can you link the listing here?

( 372569251326 ) is the listing number. Not sure how to add the link. Carparts wholesale is the seller. I just searched 1985 4runner grill and found this one. Was $31 and change delivered. Figured it was worth a shot.

Thanks I'll try it too. Cheaper than any used ones (in questionable condition) too. F'in China...
