Anyone ever take off their Limited flares and leave them off? I know there will be holes left, and holes in the doors behind that moulding. I really prefer the look of the black SR5 flares or no flares at all. These flares are just too big and they hide the tires. My theory was I could take off the flares and moulding, then weld the holes shut and touch up the paint. Anyone have any pics flareless? Thanks.

 

once you fill it all up, it should look like any other 4Runner without the flares... Carefully remove everything and I bet you can sell it for a pretty good amount.

 

Hello, would you like to see the flares ?

If I decide to take them off, I would sell them. I have the matching running boards too. Everything is paint matched silver, millenium silver I think.

 

first dibbs

 

HOJU is right, he is first in line if I decide to take them off. Anyone hae any pics of them off?? I can't seem to find much.

 

I would be interested too....

Keep in mind that the flares are mainly attached to the body via through the body. I removed my flares once and was left with CHOKE {plenty} holes about 3 - 4 inches above the wheelwell line. There are holes to secure from the bottom to under the wheelwell but the main attachments are through the body. Just wanted to pass the info, BB.

 

It will be a major job to weld the holes shut and touch up the paint. You would basically have to repaint the whole fender to get the new paint to blend in with the old. And welding will destroy a lot of the paint from the heat plus sanding the high spots off. I would switch to the black flares and be done with it.

 

those sr5 style flares won't cover the limited's holes.

 

filling in holes + repainting is alot of work & $$'s unless you do body work yourself...

buy bigger wheels n tires!
