A junkyard. About the only place.

Just get a whole frame and swap the body over.

*edit*

You're talking about the part on the frame the top plate bolts to, right?
 
Swap the entire frame? Sounds like a :censored: ton of work for a strut tower.

You might want to try to find a couple of universal towers. I found some a while back, but can't find that link anymore. I know there are some out there, you'll just have to find them.

Couple reasons I say that.

1) Chances are that is the shock tower "snapped" off, it was pretty rusty. If thats rusty, there's a good chance the rest of the frame is about to rust through as well.

If you're going to be replacing that, then I say check the frame for rust in other places, and, if bad enough, replace the entire frame.

2) It will be a shit ton of work, but better safe than sorry. I'd rather source a frame from somewhere else, that wouldn't be as rusty or have the chance of being rusty, than have to go through all this stuff all over again, replacing and such.


ORRRRR, you can do like [MENTION=59542]Singtoe[/MENTION] said, and SAS the *****. They have different shock towers, so it would work out for you.

I'm sure he appreciates it.

This is the part I was talking about in specific, I'm familiar with their products as well, which is why I even said anything:

Adjustable Coil Buckets

I am quite aware that it is a "coil bucket" but it looks a helluva lot like a strut tower doesn't it?

If he's going to try and replace the strut tower, it may not be a bad starting point. Taking on a project like that would indicate that OP has decent fab skills anyway. For the average person a broken off strut tower would equal a new car.

I guess it "could" work, although I won't try it. I knew they had those, and I wouldn't recommend trying that. You'd have to alter the entire top cap to fit our struts. Starting with cutting out the center, and drill all new holes. If you're going to try this route. I'd just buy some steel and build you own for a lot less (maybe $30). Another issue with these would be fitment. These buckets are a lot larger (width wise) than then ones our 4runners come equip with. They're meant to hold springs the size of our rear springs.
