and at first i thought theysent me oem flares. i freaked out but upon firther inspection and a cal to jc whitney they turned out to be the right ones also thanks to jonathan for a little picture cross referancing. anyways just gotta wait a few short weeks untill they get painted along withy the new bumper installation and having the side steps welded on.

sorry just happy to finally have them (backordered for 2 weeks and wernt supposed to arrive till the 19th)

and guiness a day the day before it goes into the shop ill rip off the old ones and send em to you door. they should fit in the same box also which will be a huge help.

lots of mods to do this weekend: new grill and inserts, driving lights, push bar (maby?), sound proffing, etc etc

 

Glad to hear you got them in. Let me know if you have any other questions. Can't wait to see the pics, I'm sure they'll awesome

 

Where is the pix?

dex, did you get the extend-a-fenders? im looking for some flares, how much did you end up paying?

 

yea i got the extenda flares. i had the stock oem flares (sr5 big black ones)

through jcwhitney.com i paid like 260 with shipping about 100 bucks cheaper than everywhere else i looked

 

I second this!

 

Can't wait to see them! I just got a set also and did the dry fit the other day.

I am going to get them painted and was just wondering if there is anything special about painting the edge trim/ rubber seal? Anybody done this?

 

what color are you painiting yours? i was set on black but im kinda debating having them, the front valence, and the rear license all done in color matched. im psyched

 

Gonna get them painted white to match. I've always liked the clean look w/ color coded flares even though the unpainted black would be easier to take care of (and hassle free).

And after seein pix of Jonathan's rig w/ the painted bushwackers I was convinced. But I'm still debating on whether or not to paint the front valence as well.....

 

dex, how did you get that deal?... thats cheap as heck!... i didnt even see them listed on jc whitney for the 96-02s.. has that deal expired? oh man, there goes my credit card again..

 

ALTN:

What year 'runner do you have? I am looking for front mudgaurds for my 97 4runner w/ the black sr5 trim. You probably had the running boards w/ the endcaps but if you had the mudgaurds and are willing to sell them because of your new ones, PM me or email me or something, I'm willing to pay cash money!!$

 

nevermind i found it!... along w/ a 15% off coupon...

 

nice nice yea i saw that deal and jumped on it
