No More Running Boards!

Got my Mud Flaps today and removed the running boards. One of the best mods for sure. Sure feels funny getting in to it after all of these years with them on!! I think that it looks much better. Sorry for the bad pics.

do you really want to have them shipped from CA??? I'm in ATL, and I've got a set off my 2nd gen that I will give to you for FREE. I think they are compatible with 3rd gens.

Take em off for a weekend and see how they feel and look! Your SR5 flares look totally different than mine..when I took them off I had to order corresponding mudflaps for the fronts cus it left a gap where the running board met.

Please leave the stock wide flares on...but remove the running boards. IMO, a 4Runner with wide OEM flares looks nice w/o running boards.

Check out the link in my sig to my profile. I have pictures of my 4Runner the day I bought it...and my 4Runner did not even come with running boards.

I left mine on and just got the mudflaps. In my opinion it looks fine with the fender flares on
