I finally got the pictures of my 4Runner with and without running boards. I took them off about a week ago. Let me know what you think? Should I keep them off or put them back?

I might put them back on in the winter to protect the body from all the slushy snow mess around here.

Without RB


Thanks in advance for your 2cents.

 

I just yanked mine off this weekend and they shall never go back on. It's rock sliderz for me come this fall! I get my front fender flare extension mudflaps tomorrow and I am stoked. They were only $20/each.

PS. How do you get a picture to post? Do you need a website or can you cut and paste?

 

What color is that? I like it!



Brian

 

Look good!


You can attach a pic everytime you post. See attach file below. Or just get a website and post the image location between [img] tags. See the FAQ for more help...

On your 4Runner, it looks SOOOOO much better with the RB off.

 

Ditto!

 

I prefer them off also. I can think of another member *cough* BBB *cough* with a strong opinion about this also...

 

Definitely off.

 

I also removed my running boards and I like the look much better. Here are some comparison photos:

I like it. Where did you get the mud flaps for the front flares? I want to do the same thing, but I don't wanna pay $100 for mud flaps from my stealership.

 

Brian - I also got the fender flare extensions from the dealer for about $20 each and they were easy to install. The color is called anthracite. I guess calling it brown wouldn't market very well.

Skywagon - awesome rig. Were your running boards lighted?

As for the pictures, you have to host them somewhere to get them in your message itself. Many people here seem to use monty pics (??)

 

Off all the way! Now sell 'em and put the money towards sliders!

 

No, they are not lighted... the limited models get those (the lighted ones are also silver, mine are black).

 

Hmm...fender flare extensions, I have to look into that. Because my front flares stop a good 4 inches above the bottom of my body. Is that what yours did as well?

 

Rob-

Are you talking about the gap at the bottom of this flare?

 

yea exactly, except mine is more obvious because my truck is a light color the the flares are black.

 

Just took mine off and as I like the look better than with them on, I'm now seriously concidering the protection they offer from rocks, road ˟˟˟˟ and other paint chipping stuff.

 

hey guys, where can I get some flaps for my front flares for $20 a piece? Please let me know cause I need to get some as soon as possible

 

Yeah, what he said!
I am thinking of taking the boards off too, and am concerned about the lack of protection on my LTD flare combo.
