well, my truck had some rust, so i got covers to hide it

anyways onto the pics

here is the awful rust....











hehe had to throw this one in






ok, here's with the covers on









I'm still debeting on installing the front, because i'll loose mud flaps and chrome trim, but i think i might have to live with out em.

Also I plan on cleaning the rust up and spraying some undercoating stuff we have at work, to hold that rust back for a few more years hopefully.

let me know what you guys think....

Just put the fronts on. It looks a little off without them. Looks good though!

Where did you get those? I have the same problem and like your "solution".

Alperovich

ebay! kinda pricey but cheaper then anywere else i saw,

wow! there is a sick 6-piece set for sale. i like those alot but they are too wide for me, mine are half as wide i think. which is perfect imo

sts2usnss

Yeah I see what you mean. Those 6 piece ones do look nice. And ALOT cheaper than Bushwhacker! Were yours a pretty easy install?

this thread makes me happy to live on the left coast.....




nice flares.... i need to get some for my truck so i dont get busted by the police....

Alperovich

easier then i though, even with all that rust and missing body paneling. pretty much just involves drilling some 1/4" holes.

Yea they are nice and cheaper but too wide for my usage.

those 6-piece one on ebay might be perfect for you!

you need to get these from http://www.toyotafiberglass.com/sheet_metal.htm



and weld them in and do it right ... in a couple of years the rust will out run the flares , and then the flares will no longer "hide" the rust .

ahh the advantages of living on the RIGHT COAST and being in the south! Rust is pretty much nonexistent!

damn i wish i found this earlier! either way, i already mentioned that its a temp fix, and i plan to clean it up anyways, my goals are to have the truck last atleast two years as a DD. Its not my main prority and i wouldn't spend more $$ then i really have to. I might get a newer 4runner then, we'll see.

THanx for the comments guys!
