flair removal...?

Thoughts...?
I was poking around 96_First_Responder's pictures and found a pic with his flairs off. Thought it looked pretty good, thoughts? Are stones constantly being thrown up at the paint or is it not bad?

I hate the look with the flares off. It makes it look like a base 2WD model. Keep them on!

I agree, keep them on. Runners look much better that way. IMHO

keep them on

Road water and mud will tend to cover the windsheild while
turning. ( even worse if you have wide tires ), besides they really do look better with them on.

Flares protect your rig and others around you from flying debris

Ya, take them off and send to me so I have a spare set


No, but really don't take them off!!! When I see a 'runner w/out flares I wonder why toyota didn't make them standard on all 4runners.:pat:

Personally, I like the looks of the Limited flare. I think it makes the truck look more formidable.
However, on my rig, I don't like the way it makes the wheels look recessed. But, I plan to counteract that with wider rims and a larger offset.
