mudflaps & sliders
Hey all,
I'm planning to install some sliders on a grey '01 SR5 4Runner. It has color matching fender flares and a running board right now. I have rear mudflaps.
I was concerned about rocks & chips pelting the side of the rig after removing the running boards. Then I see that some people do have front mudflaps -- but it seems these only go with those that have black fender flares?
Does that mean that mudflaps only come in black and I can't add a FRONT mudflap to my grey Runner? ( a grey mudflap, anyways).

To be honest, I don't run mudflaps or runningboards and I don't have a problem with rocks flying up and chipping the paint. I'm ordering my sliders this week and I believe that's all the protection I'll need 
. As for your question, I don't believe anyone makes a grey mudflap, and I know Toyota won't have one. If you're really concerned I would purchase some black ones and deal with it. I think the guys with the factory limited flares used Tacoma front mudflaps and retrofitted them to their Runners. Do a search and see what you can find.

I just came in from putting front flaps on my 4Runner, like five minustes ago. I put sliders on a few weeks ago and they replaced my factory running boards. Since removing the boards, my 4Runner has been plastered with debris from mud to dead worms.
I got the elcheapo black Grabolski's with the 5% HP increasing 4X4 logo's.
My 4Runner is Dune with the big LTD-style color-matched flares and these flaps look fine. I think that color-matched would look kinda silly but that's just my opinion.
