I have a buddy that works for A&A Autoparts here in PA and he called me the minute they became available. Yes $500 shipped and I received them overnight.
 
Started on the flares but stopped to get the CBI bumper on first and wait for the black hardware for the flares to come in the mail. Here's a taste.

In the meantime, someone saw my truck in a parking lot and gave me a serious, legit offer of $65K to buy my 4Runner. Hmm...​
 
you still running 285s?

Hey, it's looking great. Where did you get your black hardware from, if you don't mind me asking. We can't wait for you to get these mounted and get a good side pic outside of your rig.

I did a search for them and came upon this thread: Bushwacker: Alternative Black Bolts/Ideas?? - Page 2 - Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum

Found them on Amazon for $4.25 as an add-on item so I had to spend $25 bucks on something to get them. The price has since gone up but still not bad for $11.48 and they are no longer an add-on item.

and you didnt sell?

Well he wants to wait till the bumper and flares are done. I suppose i'm just refusing to believe the offer. I'm enjoying this rig so much, I'm not ready to let go just yet. It's about to celebrate its first birthday and he doesn't even have 5K miles on him. Just want to get all the mods done so I can really enjoy it and stretch its legs.

I wouldnt even think twice! that is a nice landcruiser money!
 
Just did some measurements and I'm starting to come to the conclusion that these will not play nice with the safari snorkel, which I know affects the vast minority of folks out there. The biggest concern is what you have to trim on the top of the flare may end up bisecting those recesses for the faux bolts.

I'm going to see how much tomorrow. But for all my hounding I may not be able to use these. So as an alternative I may just paint my existing flares back. Function over form appears.

Let me know if you want to sell them locally for a song and dance! :)
