long story short, i took some damage on the trail yesterday

i need some new rear flares.. where should i get them?

pics because i know youre curious and if youre like me, you love pics

 

That sucks. Did you damage the door as well?

As far as flares, it would probably be best to grab a one-off from someone that took theirs off to sell. If not, you may want to go w/ a full set of bushwackers.

 

door was damaged, yes, but i wont be swapping out to entirely different flares all around just cause i damaged one side... thatd be a waste of money and time.

 

no one else has had to replace flares??

im surprised!

if anyone can point me to a place where i can get them, id appreciate it

i havent yet paid the dealership a visit.

 

Looks like everyone else are more careful. j/k
Have you tried to call some junk yards?

 

I think the word you are looking for is "weak-willed" or perhaps "pantywaisted", not "careful".

 

I took mine completly off...

There has gotta be someone on the site with the same style as yours...

What ca gonna do about the door damage?

 

well no one went up it after me... and i assume thats not just bc it took a while to get me off there.

didnt try junk yards yet, no.

 

its not as bad as it appears.. the swoops in the door's shape make it look worse than it is.

ill suction it back out. itll be wrinkled, but presentable.

 

try tap recyclying, the can be expensive though, also try evan at northridge toyota

 

trdparts4u lists the rear bumper limited style flare for about $75. The catch is that it lists the only color as silver, and without a picture to reference I'm not even sure if it's the right part. No need to thank me, I already know I' have no idea what I'm talking about.

 

Yowza... I never thought I'd see damage on your rig!

 

a before shot when she was still pretty



its ok, the more time has passed the more i realize its something i can fix, and its good that no one was hurt or anything.

 

Actually... instead of buying new fenders... have some one make a tubular type fender guard, like same diameter as your sliders, attach it to your bumper and be done with that type of damage. You could make the fender guard all pretty by shaping it (with sheet or plate metal) to look like the stock flares...?

 

i did some work on her

here it is before



and a little better after...



i will try some work with a pops-a-dent next

and yes, my tjm is pointing north, i hit it hard and it moved on the bolt holes. just need to loosen and readjust. its straight at least.

 

Sorry to highjack the thread, but where did you get that rear bumper? I need some rear flares too to match the limited ones I just bought. I'll start a search to see what I can find. I called the dealership and the guy I talked to wanted about $800 for a whole kit, but didn't understand what I wanted.

 

Nice carnage! Am I the only one here who thinks body damage on newer rigs looks flipping sweet?

Props on your attitude towards it! Love seeing people push rigs this new

 

custom bumper my buddy scott and i made... he deserves all the credit though, i just helped as much as i possibly could.

i actually have to constantly remind myself that this truck is still newer.

i mean, it has 109K on it and is like 6yrs old, but sometimes my mind makes me think it has 300K on it and it is 16yrs old

 

yeah those pops a dent things work pretty good, however it is really tricky when there is a crease, they work better on round dents. good luck, you got it looking really good compared to the previous pics
