    Hello all..
    new here, hope this is the correct place for this..
    I recently had a pretty bad front end collision and I'm trying to source all the parts I need for the repair...I've been staring at the exploded diagrams and can't really tell what all I need. If someone could help that would be amazing..
    I've enclosed a picture of the damage...I'm trying my best not to buy parts I still have...20210122_154531.jpg Screenshot_2021-01-22 Toyota OE - Toyota Tacoma 2006 Front Bumper - Bumper Components.jpg on't need.

    That’s major damage. Why wouldn’t you have your insurance take care of it?

    Where are you located? I could hook you up with the crash bar. I took if off when installing my bumper. But Knowing how expensive a whole new bumper is plus paint work if I were you I'd be looking at an aftermarket full bumper replacement. C4, ARB, etc.

    No collision coverage. :/
    I'm in Chicago..
    So with these full bumper replacement options i wouldn't need to mess with the crash bar and all that?

    When I installed mine I had to remove all that stuff. The bumper bolted straight to the frame where the crash bar was mounted. You can usually pick up an arb without fog lights from your local 4wdparts store for less than 1,000.00 I dont know about up there but in here in Athens Ga good paint and a oem bumper would be more than that. I've never shopped for an aftermarket plastic bumper so I'm not sure of that price. I have seen people do wanders with a rattle a can though. Haha

    That’s some pretty serious damage. There are 2 things you need to look at very closely. Is the frame bent? Is the core support bent? The core support is welded in and is part of the cab.

    BTW, your truck doesn’t have a quarter panel. The fact that you referred to a fender as a quarter panel is, well, OK, I’ve got nothing nice to say.

    Maybe the truck was wrecked driving in reverse. Technically not wrong.:anonymous:

    Fenders can also be called quarter panels..in my world fenders are found on bicycles and motorcycles..
    To make this clearer, I am trying to make get this repair done on a budget.
    I already planned on taking it in to get checked out, but I dont believe I'll have any problems replacing the collision bar, bumper, headlight.
    I needed assistance with what parts on the diagram I provided would I need to acquire based on the photo of the truck I provided..

    I recommend going to a body shop and they will write you an estimate. Most shops won’t even charge you for this. You can also ask them to give you a printout of the parts list, so you’ll have all the oem part numbers. From there you can figure out what you want to do.

    I’d also check out car-part.com for used parts. You may luck out and find a clean fender that is the same color as your truck so you can avoid factoring in the cost to paint it.

    Just a FYI, in the collision repair business, there is no such thing as front quarter panels. They are called fenders.

    Edit to add:
    There are parts you need that aren’t in your diagram so getting an estimate will help identify what you need. You will at least need parts 14, both sides for 17, 3,4,11 as well as the fender liner, headlamp and likely the grill. There is also likely core support damage behind the light.

    I've called them front quarter panels to multiple car people through the years, some friends, and no one has batted an eye.
    Either way, doesn't really matter for anything significant and is senseless pedantics.
    Thank you for the suggestions. That was really helpful.

    I'm going to second the motion on getting an estimate from a collision shop for a couple of reasons. First, you'll get the parts list you originally asked for. More importantly, they can tell you what is bent. Collision work isn't just taking damaged parts off, bolting (or bonding / welding) new parts on and painting. There's a good deal of pulling bent / deformed stuff back into proper positions so that new parts can be properly bolted on. Just looking at your picture, there are a number of things that need pulling back into position. Unless you have some decent collision repair experience, that damage is beyond what can be done in most home garages or driveways.

    Right.. I planned on having that done by a professional body shop and then mounting all the parts myself. Thanks for the suggests.
    Really appreciate it.

    ...and for the record I'll stop calling front fenders front quarter panels
