Fender Apron Seal Reccomendations
Mine are shot and I'm looking for a good replacement. Could go OEM, but thought I'd ask if anyone else has had good aftermarket luck. Found these, anybody use?
4Runner – Rad Rubber Design – FJ Fender Flaps, Toyota Engine Splash Guards

I've run them for about 3 years. Solid product. Good upgrade from OEM. I would definitely recommend

I have Rad Rubber, but have yet to install them. Great quality product though, and appears to be better than OEM.

Rad Rubber is the way to go. I have them on my 2015 after the OEM stuff tore up. The quality difference is huge, and the protection is definitely worth it.

I also have the Rad Rubber and have had them installed for over a year. These are much better and heavier than OEM and hold up very well. I think these are for sure the best option available currently.

Attached is a template. You will have to print each splash guard on two pages and splice them together to get a full size splash guard.
I purchased the rubber sheet for about $12 on Grainger Industrial Supply - MRO Products, Equipment and Tools

There was some talk about this same subject years ago and one of the members provided the template. I couldn't find that original thread but I saved the template so I figured I'd share.
I chose this route because It's easy enough to make and it's good to have the template for later use.
