Gotta Love Jersey Rust

[4RunnerStarv]

While I was putting in the new wheel well splash guard I ended up hitting a rusty part of my car and it came right off. Any recommendations on how best to approach this situation. Guessing going to welder might do the job done

Search around in here for the radiator support bracket. Apparently you can buy the whole assembly and replace it. It could be welded but if that side is falling off, its only a matter of time..

this should be the part, im not sure if its a weld in, 51021-35071.

pricey!. piece of similar sized decently thick wall box section might work just as well.

Thanks for the part number, a little pricey but the other side looks just as bad so will definitely need to get fixed.

Gotta find a welder around me that does that type of work. my regular mechanic doesn't do that the of repairs
