if we end up going up this weekend ill let him know you may stop by and ill get you the address. Im pretty sure he works out of his house for the time being.
 
[MENTION=87687]LTDSC[/MENTION]...Thank, much appreciated. Looks like it on pictures, out of his home on other searches.

Same with Monroe with Sidekick, he's in Folsom.

I went and talked to the body shop, they're going to repair it but they want me to make wheel liners first so a rock wont hit it again and damage it.

My plan for "custom" liners are get a thinner piece of sheet metal, like a 4x4 sheet and get longer L brackets and mimic the wheel arch from the wheel tub and bring it up to be hidden and then trace the arch on the inner fender. From there ill mount the L brackets and then mark holes on the sheet metal to attach it. It should be strong enough to deflect any rocks and also be hidden from view. Ill be making it this weekend as they want the fenders next week.
 
Today's project was to create a fender liner that will protect the fiberglass for once these are fixed and to prevent this in the future.

Wow, awesome job on those inner fenders! Great idea and execution. Any reason you didn't extend them a little further back towards the door jam area with some extra material? I see the same thing needed in my future on my new project...


Is that an 18-wheeler mud flap?

honestly because the top is where i got my damage. Also because its a 30" flap from NAPA auto parts. There also isnt much space to mount the brackets on the back side. Ill see how bad they get this weekend and see if theres a need to go lower or not.
 
[MENTION=88391]NateMob[/MENTION].... Yeah, those are what you call Big Boy Trucks mud flaps.

The rubber ones are very versatile for many other purposes, I know I have used them in different applications.

went and explored about 150 miles of logging roads and found a bunch of hidden lakes and relaxed. Was a great trip and the 4runner handled everything like a champ. These rear springs definitely a huge improvement, around 25mph on washboard roads it smooths completely out and glides across the dirt. Was a lot of fun, the 4runner is absolutely disgustingly dirty.

Beautiful pictures there Sam, both the scenery and the runner. Now 5 hrs hitting every crack and crevice for mud.

This is the down side of getting dirty:cry:

im still cleaning some mud from 3 weeks ago.:becky:

But LTDSC those custom gaurds look great make me want to rip off my plastic and just go along with something like.
 
Got my t4r back. The body shop worked fast. No crack in the fender just the paint work so she's back and just as good as before. It's funny looking with just my fender clean.
 
Yes a down side, I have to pull full skids off myself. Put a sprinkler under there to presoak then pressure wash. No problem.

yeah i had to to spray about 2 hours with a garden hose the first day then pressure wash the next then one final rinse off with a garden hose. still have small dirt peices fall off from time to time but im sure ill find more once im under put my UCA's and endlinks on.
