4runner rear fender flare options
well i keep getting pulled over because my tires stick out too far so i ordered some fiberglass flared fenders for the front but i dont know what to do for the back. i need somewhere around a 4 inch flare and i cant seem to figure out who makes anything like that for the rear except the hanneman fiberglass bolt on flares but they are way to expensive, i think for just the flares alone it would cost more than the whole front fenders. any help will be greatly appreciated. oh ya and my 4runner is a second gen

Yea, these? If you need more than that, you need to make your own or stop driving it on the street. Or take them super wide tires off.

I would first see what the law is concerning tires that stick out. Do they stick out that far?

It varies state to state too. I'm betting the OP lives in a much stricter area. My tires stick out enough to get a ticket in some states, but I'm pretty sure New Mexico doesn't care at all.

Here in Spain we've to cover the whole tire. I've some OEM type fender flares (Simillar to the Corey ones pictured in that link) and I'm adding a rubber trim like those:
http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...013135/c-10101 I wanted to go Icelandic (Not those pictured) but I never achieved to get a reply from them and also I prefer the rubber as it's flexible (Tree resistant )David

Bushwackers. You will need to armor them. To wheel with confidence, at least.

No speck of rust. Anywhere. Due to the fact that I rolled it a year ago and spent four months rebuilding it and swapping bodies and getting a fine paint job.
Tire coverage was a design goal; I was tired of slinging mud all over everything, plus you get less concern from LEOs. A wider track from the beadlocks would have worsened the issue. Bushwackers were about the only realistic option for 1st or 2nd gen 4Runners I could find, but then you have extreme vulnerability and they grenade badly. I think I fixed that... ![]()

Last summer.
Note, in the interest of full disclosure: the stock Bushwackers are made for the stock 4Runner, including the bumperettes, long gone on the Chili. The pickup version does not have them, but does not quite fit the 4Runner. I solved that by some hacking, gluing, and putty. Bushwackers are made of ABS, which means you can go to Home Depot and get ABS glue, cut out the lower section on the rear of both, and join the bottom to the shortened rear, using the sheet ABS that is now left over. Fill any gaps with spot putty. Oh, and the rivet idea Bushwacker had for attaching them SUCKS. Instead, I got small (6mm? 5mm? Don't recall) stainless button head allen screws and nylocks. Be sure not to over tighten.
