hey guys, just thought i'd share the GREAT news about my recent purchase!
I was on craigslist right before I was going to order the mudflaps from trdparts and I stumbled upon this ad about a guy selling mudguards. I thought, hell it might be the wrong ones but it would be worth the try. He said that they were all black and came off his 96 4runner that was all blacked out. He said it had black flares, black everything and the only thing that wasn't black was the wheels and the windows. So i figured I'd ask him a few questions like are they hard plastic or the flimsy flaps? It all checked out to the one that I wanted so I made the hour long drive to where he was and it was exactly what I wanted!! I scored it for $20 bucks. The guy only wanted $10 but knowing the value of it I gave him an extra 10 because he looked like he needed it.
He had taken these off less than a week after he purchased his 4runner. He claimed it was one of the first ones in Oregon and the "sport" trim sr5. He decided to get running boards so these mudguards have been sitting for over 10 years! Sad story is he got T-bone 6 months after he got it and it totaled the runner hitting the front and rear doors and bent the chassis, so he sold it soon after. If anyone is looking for the cargo cover and factory roof racks he has them and I can give anyone his number. The cargo cover is tan in color and he said they're triangle mounts so I think for the 96-98 4runners. So that's my story
