I've had a brand new one of these sitting in my garage for a while. Trying to fix my oil leaks before I put it on. Just changed my front main...so it will be going on shortly.
So I took my fan shroud off...

Very true. Dollar for dollar, a reduction in cost of goods sold generates significantly more profit than an increase in sales.

Yea, you can get the lower half separately. I think it was like $27, but might be less.

which is why I came to you wise gentlemen for advice.
it was also brittle and broken on a few places which was another reason why it stayed off, as gelboy mentioned I didnt want the fan to puree what was left of it.
Imma go check out the local pick-n-pull and see if theres any good ones there.
Unless you can find one that's been replaced recently they're all going to be a bit hard/brittle, I'd grab a new one while they're still available.

As frugal as I am, I purchased a new one from the dealer. At the same time I purchased a new fan clutch, water pump, rad hoses, Coolant hoses, under cover, and t-stat. Peace of mind is worth its weight in gold.

When you consider the potential for disaster if the cooling system fails on a 7M it's cheap insurance!
Thats what I thought, new fan shroud, fan, fan clutch. then my fan self destructed, and took out my hood, radiator and fan shroud. Not sure what the exact point of failure was but I suspect a rock from the road, As I did not purchase a undercover with all those other things.
Lol, yeah it was an expensive lesson. I'd ran for years without one. Never bit me. But shortly after I spent some money on those components Murphy decided he was over due for a visit. You live you learn.
where would i go about getting one from the dealer? do i call my local dealer and talk to someone or is there a way online?
Call your local dealer, or order from Champion Toyota in Texas or Vancouver Toyota in Washington.
+1 on champion
Better to pay a few dollars more now then a few paychecks more later. If the supra has taught me anything its that.
