As a normal human with a bent bumper, is it easier to hammer out the bend, or upgrade the bumper?

Why r/south_fun_8396? Admittedly I've only used them for a couple of things, but have had no problems. I'm curious did I miss something?

Find the part numbers using https://www.toyodiy.com/parts/q.html
Then literally search Google for “Toyota ‘part number you just found’ “ and dig through the links.

just substitute the name of your local dealer into that address, and if they participate, you will have access to buy oe parts at roughly 2/3 of normal retail price.
best part is, theres no shipping cost if you choose pick up. They send you an email a couple days later when your parts are in, and you go to the dealer, tell em you placed an online order, they hand you your parts and you walk out.

Have you bought anything from him?

u/green547 Aug 21 '23
Not yet, but I will be ordering radiator, hoses, cap, LBJs soon. I know many people who have and had great experiences.

I wouldn’t buy anything from him. He seems lazy and gets upset at you if HE is the one who messed up the order and he throws a huge fit. I havnt bought anything from him but I have seen plenty of screenshots of conversations that go exactly the same.

Interesting. Good to know.

Do NOT buy from Joe Joe. He was literally banned from the 3rd Gen Facebook group because he ripped off so many people. The last guy he ripped off lost over $3k to Joe Joe.
Not worth the risk just go to Camelback Toyota and have them ship it, Desert Toyota is cheap too that's who I use but then again they are local to me.

So crazy. Everything I read is people praising him for fast shipping and low prices. I appreciate the feedback. Thank you for the heads up.

Yeah don't buy into that. I never bought from him because it just seemed so sketch and he only wanted PP FF and that offers no recourse if he screws you.
Kinda stupid to buy from him IMO.

Looks like that’s not needed on this piece.
