Question 2nd Gen. OEM Flares.

Does anyone know were I could find a set of those sweet factory flares that came on 4Runners overseas? I've got the big fricking mud flaps on the rear that match up to them and I really, really don't want to have to take them off, they catch everyting .
Here's a pic of the factory flares (this is JD's rig, JD I hope you dont mind.):

These are my mud flaps (I was playing in the mud earlier ):

Thanx,
Chris

Hi

OEM Flares? You can get them from Toyota UK dealers - but they are BLOODY expensive! They are made of fibreglass and have a rubber seal between the flare and the vehicle body.

I had busted one up (OSR) and went back to Toyota for a quote on an OE replacement: £240! For one flare! TJM do rubber flares and that is what I'll be getting sometime in the future.

Those are some nice flares. To bad they're so expensive.

I looked into some of these since I am over here in the UK and they were crazy expensive! I searched and searched junkyards but apparently there are alot of other people looking for them as well.

I like them also. I also like the way they blend better on the front fenders as well as staying above the rear bumperettes. One less thing to catch on the trail. Unfortunately they appear hard to get even in countries they came equipped with stock.
