Front splash guards

I own a 1990 4x4 T4r and after sending it thru an automated car wash found the splash guards did not handle it well and I have not be able to locate the front splash guard replacements and thought I would check with Yotatech community for a possible source.

Comment/suggestions appreciated!

Thank you, dave

They seem to show up on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-4Run...-/163261224610
Do these fit? I usually go to a dealer website to check for year-year fitment, but since Toyota no longer makes these that option isn't available.

Thank you for the information sorry I did not describe the item I am looking for clearly, it's the thin rubber type 'rain-splash-mud guard for the front suspension that set inside the front wheel wells. I have come across a number of sources for the 'mud flaps' but mine are in very good condition. As mentioned, appears the dealer noted in U'r post has them listed as discontinued but I will contact them and another salvage yard who have helped me in the past and perhaps one or both can help? I do thank you for the suggestions

I have set up daily ebay email notification when this particular item comes up for sale if no luck in reasonable amount of time I will check to either refab a set using the old as templates, or try and repair the originals.

Greatly appreciate the input!!.

A fender-apron "seal"?
https://parts.lakelandtoyota.com/sho...rimLevel=18380

Lakeland's website says they're still available, but if you care, you should call.

More importantly, as far as I can tell they are nothing more than some toughened rubber sheet, that you probably could cut with a pair of good scissors. At $20-$70 a piece (plus shipping), I'd start by looking to see if I could source the plain sheet. Making the holes (neatly) is non-trivial; I'd clamp it between two pieces of wood and drill through the sandwich.

The fasteners (at least ones quite close) are available from Dorman. Your local parts store probably has a rack of Dorman parts.

If you have a local junkyard you could try that and as scope said easily made from rubber or even an old set of rubber floor mats

Also a cheap set set of punches from harbor freight are amazing at punching holes in things.

But with my OCD a factory part if available is always my first choice.

Missing the passenger side splash guards, appears may only have to replace 1 on the driver's side. The local Napa auto parts store does carry quite a selection of the Dorman parts.

I left a message with the Toyota salvage yard out of Colorado but have not heard back from them as yet.

I intend to take the diagram from the Lakeland site and compare to the splash guards currently on the vehicle, appears the Lakeland catalog only list 1 splash guard for the passenger side, I believe there are at least 2? Will contact them to confirm they still carry the items once I have determine which guards I need.

I want to thank U's all for the links and suggestions!!.

No hurry, appears 1 or possibly 2 of the splash apron on the passenger side and 1 on the driver's side will need to be replace and which appears to consist of all the splash aprons for both sides. I would be interested so please contact me upon Ur return engelson@sbcglobal.net. Thank you!!
