From what I remember you really do need those sticker pads because the metal clips slide right on the door and would damage the paint for sure. The stickers are really thick. I can find all the flare pieces/clips I took off and take pics if you want. I took that flare off because I could never find the discontinued mud guards for it and it sprays dirt up the side to an insane level without the running boards. It might be ok with the 3D printed caps I guess. I put the base model mud guards on with zero flare but my new tires rub on them sometimes.

Mine was missing the rubber from day 1, and the fender paint shows it. Looking at pics of ones for sale just now they don't seem to have it. When I searched that PN it came up as a Tacoma part. Looks like it works on the 4runner too though.

The black flares never had any trim on the outer lip. Only the Limited and wide-SR5 (painted, same width as Limited) flares had the rubber trim.

I have always been under the impression that it was pretty easy to add the black flares to a base model, but I was just digging around the forum and it seems like I might have to drill holes and that the hardware is hard to find. Can anyone confirm?

Here's how mine currently is. 3D printed short caps, Rally Armor universal mud flaps (normal size, but I'd like the 'long' size they used to make):

Another pic inside the rear wheel well:
The metal fender lines up with the line just outside where the bolts are inside the fender.

Thanks for the details and for the photos, now I just need to find a decent set of those flares. I think I can handle putting holes in the wheel well underneath. I'm still uncertain how the little door pieces get held on but I'll figure it out

I consider myself lucky for finding a 98 Limited in May 2021. Not knowing anything and not wanting a Limited until I found out it had a factory working locker.
I'm just missing the front bumper flares. The whole bumper actually is from another non flared 4runner. its all good though. I originally was window shopping for a beater S10 or Ranger 4x4. both open diffs.

There are clips that clip onto the door lip with screw bosses at 90° that the flare trim screws onto. If these don't come with the flares that you find/buy you will have to haunt junkyards till you find 8 of them; 4 per door.

Here's the hardware for the SR5 flares, I found this on an old thread when helping out a friend get a set mounted up. The door clips/screws are in box #1. The clips fit over edge of door, providing screw holes for flares to be mounted. Boxes #2 and 5 are for rear flares, but machine screws/nuts can also be used.

Damn, now that is some extremely detailed information and is extremely helpful. Thanks for that, now I know what to look for if I can ever find a set of flares.

I promise this will be my last question in this thread. In the photo above, does anybody know what the little eclipse are in box number 5? Where do they go? I actually saw a set of these flares in the junkyard, and there weren't any of those clips on the rear flares and it didn't look like they had ever been removed previously.

I have 2 trucks with these flares, both used different mounting hardware. Depending on what your truck came with originally you might need to use alternative mounting hardware, like I had to on my SR5 base model.
I used these for the rear flares since the "stock bolts" were much bigger than the grommet inserts in my fenders
Amazon.com: Mtsooning 20 Pcs/Set Universal Car Auto 4.8x19mm Self-Tapping Screws Captive Loose Washer 8mm Hex Head Black Hot C45 : Industrial & Scientific
I wanted something with a large, captive washer that would fit snugly into the plastic grommets, and they worked great!
