Tail Light Guards

4RocRunner92 · 07-31-2005, 01:14 PM

I was at the dealership one day when a 3rd gen pulled in with some tail light guards that bolted to the body of the toyota. I

and wondered where he got em. I broke one off of my runner the other weekend on the trails and am looking for a good replacement set.

1992 Toyota 4Runner.

Any suggestions?

(I tried searching but not much info)

How many "real" trail rigs do you see w/ taillight guards?

4RocRunner92 · 07-31-2005, 05:03 PM

Haha, they've saved me before and they will save me again. The rest of the rig is armored up, in my eyes it will look funny without the tail light guards.
It IS my daily driver so bah! =)~

**rocket** · 07-31-2005, 05:04 PM

haha i know what you mean but i'm thinking about getting some only to protect my $358 tail lights.

4RocRunner92 · 07-31-2005, 05:05 PM

lol WOW. I hear that.

***waskillywabbit*** · 07-31-2005, 05:16 PM

you must have some mean grocery carts up there at Walmart?

4RocRunner92 · 07-31-2005, 05:18 PM

I'd rather be safe than sorry. Especially with as much body as a 4Runner has.

You ever been rammed with a grocery cart?

I think the only damage they might do is getting stuck under the frame, front and back are protected w/ bumpers...grocery cart wouldn't come close to my taillights...sides are already dented.

You need more lift or a rear bumper, but I thought you had one...I don't care about where I park now...bring on the grocery carts and the soccer moms who like to door ding...nothing like seeing their faces when they whack their door on the sliders (3rd gen) and knock a huge dent in the end of their door.

Everything has to have a maiden voyage Mr. "I de-modded my 4Runner cause my woman told me to"

This is an off-roading forum, not the "crotch rocket" board!

They should get here this week. I don't realy value the protection of them, i can get new taillights dirt cheap. I do like the look though and they are cheap.

Never buy onew from everythingoffroad.com, they are the biggest POS things ever.

Shopping carts? Not worried 'bout those, my tail lights are so high you'd have to throw the cart at my lights to hit them.

I just put my Firestik CB antenna mount on the back, so the light guards won't fit there anymore. Besides, if they break, I'll just buy a new one for what? 30 bucks or so.
