Finally Took My Running Boards Off

Hey everyone and Happy New Year to you all!

Sorry it has been a while but I have been really busy with work. Wife got ill and she spent most of the recent holidays in the hospital. She's better now. I changed jobs, but I got promoted this last year and now I supervise a few people.

Well between work and going back to college full time, it has left me little time to work on my T4R. Now that things have slowed down a bit, I am starting to get back into modding my 97.

The latest is: taking off those running boards.

Today I ordered the replacement front mud flaps from https://www.toyotapartszone.com
Part #'s
PT413-35966-DF MUDGUARD (Drivers side)
PT413-35966-PF MUDGUARD (Passengers side)
Thanks to az4runner02 for posting the part numbers here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/47365-front-mud-flap-part-3.html

I will post more work I am doing to it very soon. Had a broken liftgate lock (thanks to a dumb coworker breaking it), so I will post a how-to later today with photos I took and a step by step.

In addition, Monday I am signing up at a local community college to take Auto Technician courses so I can learn to do all the work myself. I am pretty handy and between the forums and YouTube I can find almost anything. But since it's cheap and I will have two free nights a week, I thought: why not.

If anyone is interested in the running boards (all hardware included), PM me or I am going to sell them on Craigslist. I'm located in NorCal.

I was under the impression those front flaps were impossible to get. Please let me know or post some pics. Keep up the good work.
 
hi,
i took mine off last week but put on the caps that another forum member is selling.

if you actually found a pair, specifically the driver side mudguard, you are crazy lucky or will find out that they are no longer available and they will refund your money.

good luck
 
Gelthos & JoeBand. I think I found a source. If they are wrong or they work, I will let you know either way. Monday is Salvage yard day, so I am going to see if I can find some there too. If I do and mine arrive and fit, I will then put them up for sale on here.

Either way, I will let you guys know.
