01 4Runner SR5 Front Bumper Replacement - Part number madness!

[BackRoadSeeker]

I'm fixing up an old 01 4Runner that was in a minor fender bender, and going crazy trying to get the correct part numbers.

Mine is an SR5 model with chrome bumpers, unpainted/grey lower valance, and fender flares, as the picture shows. The dealer was of little help... I do NOT want the primered finished lower piece like the Limiteds/Sport package trucks have.

Here is what I'm finding for numbers:

1. Chrome bumper: 5210135680 OR TO1002178
2. Lower plastic valance: 5391135350 OR TO1095181

The dealer gave me this part number for the lower valance, which I don't trust: 5391135912

I need the ones with holes for the fender flares. I can drill if needed but would rather just get the right ones. I'm also debating OEM vs aftermarket... it's a high mileage truck but in good shape otherwise.

Anyone else gone through this? I'd appreciate any help!

Your best bet is to probably find someone close to you doing a part out, or who has just gotten a new off road bumper. Sometimes they let those bumpers go for very cheap.

Go to a junk yard. Sooner or later you'll see a find one with the correct bumper that isn't trashed.

The aftermarket one that mimic the original are usually poorly chromed and made of thinner steel

Thanks for the responses. I've been watching out for over a month now with little luck for a junkyard score. Most of the ones around here in VA are rusted anyways. I'm really interested if anyone can help out with the part numbers.

The local dismantlers that specialize in these trucks are asking $400-500 for a complete front bumper (bumper + valance etc), which strikes me as pretty steep.
