First time poster, long time owner - so be gentle ;) Well, my wife took the 1998 Limited 4x4 on her latest on-roading session, attempted a highly technical manuever, failed miserably, hit an immovable urban landscape feature, and damaged the driver's side running board.

TRANSLATION: She took a turn too tight, hit a concrete pole foundation in the parking lot and crushed the running board.

Now I need a new drivers side running board (silver) and my question is: What is the best place online to buy discount autoparts for our 4Runners? So far, I have found these websites with good prices:

autopartspeople.com
toyotalexusscion.com
toyotapartszone.com
autopartswarehouse.com

I've also read on these forums to check out CertiFit.com. Any others?

I don't do any off-roading and I like the look of the running boards on the Ltds, so please refrain from replying, "just take them off" :)

Thanks in advance.

Someone will probably offer you one of theirs.
 
Thanks for the reply JohnsD90. I haven't thought of that, I'll probably post to the classifieds section to see who might have one sitting around.
 
Another great parts store is RockAuto.com. They have a TON of inventory. I could not find your running boards, however.
 
Guys, thanks for all your replies. Desert Dune is indeed the color of my 4runner and not a reference to where I'm from. I'm from the Northeast, so I probably should have picked coldandmiserable for a username.

I'm pretty sure the running boards on all 3rd gen Limiteds are compatible, just a matter of matching the cladding color I guess. My color code is 1A5/LL45. Is LL45 the exterior cladding color? I don't know if it's the same color as a 99+ silver metallic or millenium silver metallic.

ehub1304 and theizzardking, I'd be willing to arrange and pay for shipping if you're still interested in selling.

Thanks.
