Yeah, that's the problem, and the main reason why I was disappointed at first. I really think the ad should have some sort of disclaimer like that, because these are expensive pieces of plastic. From some research I did on 3D printing, it sounds like you can get real good quality out of some...

Thanks, I'm happy with how they turned out. The cost was hard to swallow, but I wasn't going to take my running boards off until I had a solution to the gap. And I really wanted to take the running boards off....

I bought the acetone washed 3D-printed flare caps from D-Farms a couple months ago and have been slowly getting them prepped to put on my truck. I wanted to do a write-up to help others that are trying to decide whether or not to purchase them. THE GOOD: these caps are a solution to the...

No problem man, it's awesome that you spent the time designing these!

If anyone that's purchased the 3D-printed SR5 flare caps from D Farms could post a picture of them on your 3rd gen, I'd really appreciate it. I'm probably going to pick up a pair, but would love to see the results on some of your trucks. The pictures in the ad are mostly taken at night and...

Hi, I tried to send a PM, but I'm not sure it went through. I'd love to purchase the front mudguards off your truck, if you're interested. If so, let me know your price. Thanks.

I've also started to like the clean look of the flareless 4Runners. I have the thin SR5 flares, and have been considering removing them when I take the running boards off. I think you should go for the one without flares. It looks clean to me, and you can always switch out your wheels and...

Nice looking truck! Would you mind showing some up close pictures of your front mudflaps?

Oh thank you, and the dog's name is Casey. I've had him for a year and a half now. He's a good boy. That was a particularly good picture of him; normally he immediately looks away from a camera. As requested here are some more pictures of the FJ, and you can see the remains of the donor in...

Thanks! Yeah, the ES300's are great cars, but I rarely see an older one in very good condition for whatever reason.

I wondered what was up with those badges - I'd never seen that color before. Pretty unique. I'm in the Lansing area of Michigan. I spend lots of time up north too, around the Cheboygan area.

Thanks everyone. My dad runs a shop and we're going to do everything we can to keep the rust off it. I'm fortunate to have access to all the tools I could ever need! I've got more pictures of that FJ40 that I'll try to upload tonight. The restoration is probably about 17 years old at this...

I've been lurking this site for a while now and have been meaning to post some pictures of my new (to me) 1999 4Runner. You guys have some awesome trucks, and it's very inspiring. I got my truck in early October after driving a 1999 ES300 for 8 years. I'd been wanting something more capable...
