Very nice truck and in a rare red but with those wide of tires don't you have issues with stuff being flung all over the truck? Maybe some of those real fender flares they use up north would look pretty good and give you protection.

Black fender flares would improve the looks of your 4Runner, IMO. As well as clear corners & clear signal lens.

Very nice 4runner. Now put on some armour and I'll be more envious.

Cheers

Looks good, just be aware that your paint will get trashed. I couldn't believe how just taking off my running boards ruined my doors.

He'll need a bit more flare (just made me think of office space, lol) than that......looking at pockets or cut-outs. A bit wide, tires are going to rub if stuffed in the rear. Looks good, but not functional unless a street truck only.

Haha yeah he'd need a lot more than just those black flares, but they would definitely add to the looks of the 4Runner.

That looks like a Tyco truck I had in middle school. But I agree with others. You need some flares.

If your worried about not having the "wider is better" look after the flares, even the limited flares won't come close to those meats! Looking good!

I don't think you need flares . I like it and I also like gettin' mud ALL over my truck! Screw the paint. Just give it a good coat of dirt and mud everytime it rains and drive the hell out of it! I never understood guys who lift their truck and spend all their time washing and waxing it. Screw fender flares. Those are for "Mall crawlers"

Black Fender Flares will add to the looks of his 4Runner, especially since it's red. I know it probably won't add any protection, but it will make his 4Runner look more badass IMO.

Sheesh, what a bunch of Street Queen lovers...

Clear Lights? Fender Flares? Those rims look big, the truck is scratch and dent free as far as I can tell, there are no tree smashers or major tow points that I can see either.. This is an OFFROAD forum in case everyone forgot..

If the truck is made for street, then it should be said to avoid such misunderstandings in the least.

Do you get any flex with that set up? It looks like you would need PLENTY of trimming.
