Print out the page and see if the dealer will price match or come down in the costs some. The rubber plug isn't a critical piece so you can stand to wait a few days for it to come in... Might save you a buck...

That's not a bad idea. If it were more expensive, I probably would do that. But since it's only going to be a matter of a few bucks, I'm really not too concerned. These 4Runners are tough as nails!

Hahaha, I had to re-read it. Sorry I missed it the first time. I must have just read it too quickly or something. I think everyone missed my Napoleon Dynamite quote in one of my posts.

I had almost the exact same thing happen to me about 6 weeks ago. I came to a stop & I felt a quick jolt. I was shocked at first & then I looked in my mirror & saw a BMW X3 on my ass. After checking on my daughter in the back seat, I got out. The driver who hit me was apologetic, but you could tell she wanted to avoid calling the cops (turns out she works for a BMW dealership). I assessed the damage. I have a Go Rhino hitch step in my receiver hitch. The step went through the BMW's lower grille & destroyed it. with my hitch step in her grille, her car rode up & hit my bumper enough to make the plastic bumper buckle a little just above the hitch, but nothing too serious. It was early in the morning & I was not in the mood to stand there for an hour waiting for a cop, so we exchanged insurance info, and went on our merry way.
I called her insurance (Allstate) about 30 minutes later. I gave them her policy number & the rep told me that SHE had already filed a claim. I was about to go off that it was actually her fault until the rep started to laugh. Apparently, she called her insurance & reported herself. Told them what she did, that she was responsible, that we did not call the cops, and that she should be dinged for all damages.
I took my truck to an Allstate adjuster a couple days later & they cut me a check for about $700 to cover the damages. I simply deposited the check & I will put it towards a safari bar on the front in case I ever have a "run in" with a hitch step or a trailer hitch!

I wonder how fast she was going when she hit your 4R. How does your bumper look now?
