Why are there no Bedside panels within 200 miles of Jacksonville Fl.

    I've searched every part inventory engine online and cannot seem to find any Quarter Panel assemblies within 200 miles of Jacksonville Fl. The problem is that I see tons of other second gen Tacomas all over the road and I know that Florida drivers get crazy. So why are there no parts?

    Maybe you should expand the search to 500 mile, although that will include a whole bunch of ocean.


    Just had a thought.....could you enlist the help of a body shop? You'll need the panels painted. They maybe open to locate, if they can earn some $$$.

    Unless you're planning on driving those 200 miles each way to get them, limiting your search radius to the rust coast seems flawed. If I have to drive up to 400 miles round trip for a fender, it better be free. My time, and my gasoline, isn't free. Might as well use LKQ and search nationally, or just hit up the dedicated Toyota truck recyclers on the west coast for rust free parts.

    Shipping is expensive, any way you slice it, when we're talking 5-6' long panels. Depending on final price, might just go through a local bodyshop as Knute recommended and have them deal with it (definitely lower stress).

    Cause wreckers usually sell the whole box with the sides still attached.
