just took couple pics of my truck. notice flares. they are homemade

 

nice those fender flares are homemade they look nice

 

Sweet lookin Runner, I think I have those same tails! Homemade flares??..they look real good!

 

thanks. i've bought this tail lights from ebay

 

Got a recipe for making the fender flairs you can or will share???

 

sure! I taped the fenders than spray this sealing foam they sell at homedepot to cut a form for flares. then put several lawers of fibergcloth with fiberglass resign. sand it down to smooth the flares, fill all the holes with bondo.....primed them and put couple coats of herculiner.
took me:
6 sheets of fibercloth-30$
2 galons of fiberglass resign-60$ (it was a messy job)
1galon of herculiner-90$
2cans of primer-10$
a lot of time,that i could spend with my friend insted.
a lot of yelling from parents, about all the dirt in the garage
BUT experience IS priceless!!

 

very nice i got those tyc tails too

 

I take it you didn't take pictures of the process?

 

Dude, I could have used you and your info about a year and a half ago when I was having nothing but trouble with aftermarket flares.

Very nice looking 4runner.

 

rig looks good...nice work on the flares...sounds like a real painstaking task...

 

thank you guys!! sorry no pictures i didn't have a camera when i was doing this. And yes by the time i finished second flare a was ready to give up. probably i took me 8 weekends in total time.

 

And that task usually ends up taking all day trying to make it right, but then you look at the clock and it's 1:30am, and you just say "screw it, this will do". But for real, those took a long time to make, but now the wheels look too small, so we have to buy some bigger ones , oh and that's my cousin by the way.

 

Nice truck, what kind of lift you running.

Also I know how much of a pain working with resin and fiberglass is. I fiberglassed surfboards for 3 years. Plus its messy as heck!

 

nice!! the flares are solid!

 

Lookin Good!
And those flares rule!

 

i have PP spings with 1inch BL

 

I like thaqt grill, nice runner!
