Wanted: Limited Fender Flares

Would any one out there have a set of fender flares from a limited 4Runner that they would be willing to part with. Only years 1999 - 2002. If anyone has any suggestions on how to find some, then I am open to suggestions.

I think the problem with finding some "used" limited flares is that in order to take them off a rig you are going to leave some nice size viewable holes in your fenders and who is going to do that? You'd be better off searching a bone yard or just getting some bushwackers and painting them to match.

I put Bushwackers on mine. They look just as good if you ask me, and they're a lot cheaper

Jonathan,

I agree with you.

[HIJACK ON] Those bushwackers come black like that or did you get them painted? How big a tire you got? Where did you end up buying them and how much? Thanks! Nice rig! [HIJACK OFF]

Hey Brian,
Thay came black with the matte finish, but I had them painted black to match along with the bumbers, grill and liscence plate holder. They aren't exactly like the factory but are a very close second. You'll have to buy your own gasket material to go between them and the body, check Jalebar's site Look under "additions 2" and scroll down and you'll find the part # for the gasket material. Other than that it come with everything. Just make sure you get a reputable body shop to do the painting. Good luck My tires are 285/75/16's. I bought the fender flares from one of my 4x4 magazines, but i can't remeber which one???

Not only will they leave holes in the fender, but the rear door cladding is connected to the front part of the rear wheel fender flare. So there would be holes in the rear door as well. I wouldn't mind going to a smaller size flare, but it seems to be more trouble than it's worth. So until they get ripped off on the trail, they'll have to stay.

Not all limited style flares came with the door cladding. I think they had an SR5 package with the limited flares w/out the door cladding.
